- The primary aim was to investigate and assess the current evidence of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, with special reference to the choice of surgical techniques and aspects of rehabilitation. A secondary aim was to clarify relative strengths and weaknesses of the selected studies, resolve literature conflicts, and finally, evaluate the need for further studies.

- PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to assess the outcome and risk factors after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in a large group of patients. TYPE OF STUDY: Case series. METHODS: Included in this retrospective study were 948 patients (323 female, 625 male) with a symptomatic unilateral ACL rupture, who underwent arthroscopic reconstruction using patellar tendon autograft and interference screw fixation at 3 Swedish hospitals. The median age of the patients at the time of the index operation was 26 years (range, 14 to 53 years). The patients underwent surgery at a median of 12 months (range, 0.5 to 360 months) after their injury. Independent physiotherapists performed the follow-up examinations at a median of 32 months (range, 21 to 117 months) postoperatively. RESULTS: Of the 948 patients, 550 (58%) underwent meniscal surgery before, during, or after the ACL reconstruction. The median Tegner activity level was 8 (range, 2-10) before injury, 3 (range, 0-9) preoperatively, and 6 (range, 1-10) at follow-up (P < .0001 preoperative v follow-up). At follow-up, the median Lysholm score was 90 points (range, 14-100), the median KT-1000 anterior side-to-side laxity difference was 1.5 mm (range, -6 to 13 mm), and the median 1-leg hop test quotient was 95% (0% to 167%) compared with the contralateral normal side. At follow-up, 69.3% of the patients were classified as normal or nearly normal according to the International Knee Documentation Committee evaluation system. However, 36% of the patients were unable to or had severe problems performing the knee-walking test. Inferior results correlated with increased time period between the index injury and reconstruction and concomitant joint damage found at the index operation. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the results were good after ACL reconstruction using patellar tendon autograft and interference screw fixation. Concomitant joint damage and a long time period between the injury and reconstruction are major risk factors for inferior outcome after ACL reconstruction. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, case series.

- Purpose: The Purpose of this Study was to evaluate long-term outcomes of arthroscopic acromioplasty for shoulder impingement syndrome. Methods: This was a prospective cohort study of 31 shoulders (24 men) that underwent arthroscopic acromioplasty for shoulder impingement syndrome during 1992 and 1993. The mean age at surgery was 49 years (range, 33 to 68 years). A group of 29 shoulders (22 men) operated on consecutively with open acromioplasty from 1985 through 1991 served as controls. The patients were evaluated with the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) score (range, 0 to 35 points) at baseline and at 2 follow-up times performed at a mean of I and 13 years after surgery, respectively. At the second follow-up, the Disabilities of the Arm. Shoulder and Hand score, the Short Form-36 bodily pain score, and the EQ-5D health utility index also were obtained. Results: After arthroscopic acromioplasty, the mean improvement in UCLA score from baseline to long-term follow-up was 13 points (95% confidence interval, 11 to 15 points), and the scores indicated an excellent or good result in 77% of shoulders. The mean UCLA score was 32 points (SD, 5 points) for the patients treated with arthroscopic acromioplasty and 28 points (SD, 8 points) for those treated with open acromioplasty; the mean difference was 4.3 points (95% confidence interval, 0.4 to 8.2 points P = .03). In a mixed-model analysis adjusting for age. sex, duration of symptoms, preoperative UCLA score, dominance of operated side. rotator Cuff status at surgery, and time since surgery, the rate of change from baseline in UCLA score over time was significantly better after arthroscopic surgery than after open Surgery. Conclusions: Good results of arthroscopic acromioplasty were maintained at 12 to 14 years after surgery with excellent or good results shown in 77% of shoulders, and the long-term outcomes were superior to those after open acromioplasty. Level of Evidence: Level III, therapeutic case-control study.

- The primary aim was to summarize and assess current evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on anterior cruciate ligament injuries, with special reference to graft type and surgical technique. The secondary aims were to identify the relative strengths and weaknesses of the selected studies, to resolve contradictions in the literature, and to evaluate the need for further studies.
