In this article, we explain a simple method to effectively enhance the graft size and maintain the tissue integrity of a hamstring autograft. The triple-fold technique is useful for creating a soft-tissue size and length suitable for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Objectives: This study aimed to analyse the mechanisms, injury patterns, biomechanics and neurocognitive factors of anterior cruciate ligament tears in professional female Spanish football players during training and competitive matches.
Design: Systematic video-analysis observational study.
Methods: Four hundred and sixty-one players from 16 teams of the Spanish top division (Liga F) were tracked over three consecutive seasons (2021/2022 to 2023/2024).

Objectives: This study evaluated the effects of proximal core training on biomechanical risk factors and strength parameters in individuals at high risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury (specifically: those exhibiting pathological movement patterns, neuromuscular deficits or biomechanical risk factors) and compared direct versus indirect interventions. We hypothesised that targeted training enhances dynamic knee stabilisation and hip control during high-risk manoeuvres, with direct approaches providing superior biomechanical benefits through neuromuscular control optimisation.
Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis using the Grading of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach.
A 2-year minimum follow-up period has generally been preferred in orthopaedic studies. This minimum standard aids comparisons across the literature and helps to ensure methodological rigor. However, in some situations these minimum durations are not required to answer specific research questions and strictly enforcing these requirements poses unnecessary barriers to research by adding cost and complexity, increasing the risk of loss to follow-up, and potentially restricting early dissemination of clinically important findings.

Objectives: The deep lateral femoral notch sign, observed in some anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, may result from valgus-compressive forces and anterior tibial translation. Since combined ACL and medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries often involve high valgus torque, we hypothesized an association between MCL tears and the presence of a deep lateral femoral notch sign.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of skeletally mature patients (≥14 years) who underwent primary ACL reconstruction (ACLR) and had preoperative MRIs within 3 weeks of injury.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent chronic disease, characterized by progressive joint degeneration and primarily affects older adults. OA leads to reduced functional abilities, a lower quality of life, and an increased mortality rate. Currently, effective treatment options for OA are lacking.
