Article Abstract
Background: The lengths of the anteromedial bundle (AMB) and posterolateral bundle (PLB) change during knee motion in double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. However, the actual intraarticular graft length would be affected by the bone tunnel position and tunnel creation angle during ACL reconstruction. The aim of this study was to investigate the intraarticular length change of the AMB and PLB in patients who underwent anatomic double-bundle ACL reconstruction.
Hypothesis: We hypothesized that the PLB would show a more dynamic length change pattern than the AMB during knee flexion at ACL reconstruction.
Methods: Thirty-two patients (16 men and 16 women) who had isolated ACL injuries with intact menisci were investigated. Anatomic double-bundle ACL reconstructions were performed using semitendinosus tendon autografts at a mean age of 30.6 years. The graft and tunnel lengths were measured intraoperatively. Intraarticular graft lengths and length changes were calculated at 0° and 90° of knee flexion during ACL reconstruction. Intraoperative data were collected prospectively, and analyses were performed retrospectively.
Results: The intraarticular length of the AMB at 0° of knee flexion was 28.1±5.5mm. At 90° of knee flexion, the AMB intraarticular length decreased to 25.6±4.8mm. The intraarticular length of the PLB decreased to 17.7±4.6mm at 90° of knee flexion compared to 22.0±4.2mm at 0° of knee flexion. Changes in the intraarticular graft length during knee flexion were detected more in the PLB (4.1mm) than in the AMB (2.0mm, p=0.01).
Discussion: This study demonstrated that the intraarticular length change of the PLB during knee motion was larger than that of the AMB in anatomic double-bundle ACL reconstructions with semitendinosus tendon autografts and suspensory femoral fixation devices.
Level Of Evidence: IV; retrospective cohort study.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of reduced spinopelvic mobility (SM) on knee flexion deformity (KFD) in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
Methods: A retrospective analysis on 213 patients (271 knees) undergoing robotic-assisted primary TKA was conducted. Sagittal spinopelvic alignment (SSA) parameters-sacral slope (SS), pelvic incidence (PI), and pelvic tilt (PT)-were measured on lateral standing and sitting spinopelvic radiographs.

Background: In robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA), the femoral prosthesis is positioned independent of the intramedullary canal and frequently in flexion for function optimization. Femoral prosthesis flexion displaces retrograde intramedullary nail (rIMN) start point posteriorly potentially exacerbating hyperextension deformity in periprosthetic fracture (PPFx) fixation. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between RA-TKA femoral component flexion with rIMN sagittal trajectory angulation.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate how subscapularis tendon repair influences joint loads in relation to humeral offset and arm position.
Patients And Methods: Two fresh-frozen, whole-body cadaveric shoulders underwent a reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) on the humeral side using an internal proprietary load-sensing system (LSS) (Goldilocks, Statera Medical, Montreal, Canada). In addition to three "complex" Activity Daily Life positions ("behind the back", "overhead reach", and "across the chest"), four standard postures (external rotation, extension, abduction, and flexion) were used to record the glenohumeral loads (Newtons) and their locations applied to the implant.
