Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of performing meniscal transection and shaver debridement (MTSD) with a 1.9-mm needle arthroscope (needle arthroscopy [NA]) in medium-sized (7- to 15-kg) dogs, and to compare meniscal visibility, procedural difficulty, and iatrogenic articular cartilage injury (IACI) with a standard 2.7-mm arthroscope (standard arthroscopy [SA]).

Purpose: The posterior tibial slope (PTS) plays a key role in knee biomechanics and may influence the risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture as well as the outcomes of its reconstruction. We hypothesised that a steeper medial posterior tibial slope (MPTS) would be associated with an increased risk of bilateral ACL reconstruction compared to unilateral reconstruction. This study aimed to test this hypothesis by comparing the MPTS between patients undergoing unilateral ACL reconstruction (uniACLR) and those requiring non-simultaneous bilateral ACL reconstruction (biACLR), using radiographic imaging.

In recent decades, arthroscopic meniscal repair has been increasingly indicated for meniscal tears in the last decades. Although literature generally reports favorable surgical outcomes, it remains unclear whether the repaired meniscus maintains its function over the long term while performing its chondroprotective function without recurrent tear after clinical healing. A 43-year-old Japanese man who underwent meniscal repair for a bucket handle tear of the medial meniscus (MM) at the age of 15 years presented with right knee pain and catching symptoms without a preceding traumatic event.

Background: Animal models are crucial for developing treatments for knee injuries. This study compared knee joint anatomy and arthroscopic surgery feasibility among turkeys, canines, and rabbits.
Methods: Knee samples from cadavers of turkeys, canines, and rabbits (n = 18 per group) were examined to compare anatomical, histological, and biomechanical characteristics across species.

Background: Because BMI can be adjusted, a greater BMI may be associated with poorer outcomes and an increased risk of surgical complications. Additionally, smoking is another factor that negatively affects the musculoskeletal system, triggering inflammatory processes that hinder healing, complications and lead to poor postoperative outcomes in orthopedic surgery. Although the role of smoking on meniscal tissue has not be fully understood yet, it should be taken into consideration as an important factor affecting the results of meniscus surgery.
