The Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine recently published selected article “Treatment of Lateral Meniscus Tears Influences OA Rate following ACL Reconstruction at 9-year Follow-Up” written by Kevin D. Plancher, MD, MPH and his research team at the Orthopaedic Foundation. This article addresses recent studies have described an increased risk of osteoarthritis (OA) following ACL reconstruction (ACLR). Systematic reviews have suggested that meniscal pathology, which occurs in up to 60% of patients with ACL injury, increases this risk. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of lateral meniscus tears and repair versus partial lateral meniscectomy on the risk of OA in patients following ACLR.

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery recently published the article Pre-Arthritic/Kinematic Alignment in Fixed-Bearing Medial Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty Results in Return to Activity at Mean 10-Year Follow-up written by the research team at the Orthopaedic Foundation, founded by Kevin D. Plancher’s, MD, MPH. This article is currently available for download online and in print: The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery: March 29, 2022 – Volume – Issue – 10.2106/JBJS.21.00801
doi: 10.2106/JBJS.21.00801.

This article debates the optimal alignment strategy in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). The aim of the present study was to determine if pre-arthritic/kinematic alignment of knees would result in sustained long-term restoration of function, without conversion to total knee arthroplasty (TKA), following non-robotically assisted, fixed-bearing medial UKA. Pre-arthritic/kinematically aligned knees in this non-robotically assisted fixed-bearing medial UKA cohort had superior outcomes, including the KOOS Activities of Daily Living and Sport subscales and achievement of the PASS for these measures, compared with non-pre-arthritic/kinematically aligned at an average of 10 years after UKA. Knees that fell within 3° of a simple aHKA measurement on a 3-foot (1-m)-long standing radiograph had greater longevity and return to activities.
