Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the prevalence of proximal hamstring avulsion injuries (PHAIs), the understanding of rerupture risk factors and the influence of injury chronicity on these rates remain limited. PURPOSE To investigate the rerupture rate after PHAI repair and identify its associated risk factors and the optimal time to primary surgery. STUDY DESIGN Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. METHOD This is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from the French Proximal Hamstring Avulsion Surgery Cohort Study targeting patients surgically treated for PHAI between 2002 and 2022. The primary outcome measure of this study was the rerupture rate of PHAI repair. The secondary outcome measures included the assessment of the potential risk factors for rerupture as well as the investigation of the incidence rate of rerupture for 100 person-years depending on various injury-surgery delay definitions. RESULTS This study analyzed 740 patients with a mean age of 45.9 years (SD, 13.6 years) and followed up for a mean of 4.9 years (SD, 3.9 years). The rerupture rate was 4.59% (34/740). Most reruptures (75%) occurred within the first 6 months after surgery (median, 88.5 days; interquartile range, 39.5-182 days), and 74% were atraumatic. Univariate analysis identified potential risk factors: longer initial surgery delay (hazard ratio [HR], 1.03; 95% CI, 1.01-1.04; P = .04) and initial complete ruptures (HR, 4.47; 95% CI, 1.07-18.7; P = .04). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis found the optimal injury-surgery delay cutoff predicting rerupture to be 32 days (area under the curve, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.53-0.71). The relative Youden index was calculated at 0.24, corresponding to a sensitivity of 65% and a specificity of 59%. Surpassing this cutoff showed the highest HR (2.56), narrowest 95% CI (1.27-5.17), and highest incidence of rerupture (1.42 per 100 person-years) (P = .01). In the multivariate analysis, an injury-surgery delay of >32 days (HR, 2.5; 95% CI, 1.24-5.06; P = .01) and initial complete ruptures (HR, 4.33; 95% CI, 1.04-18.08; P = .04) emerged as significant risk factors for rerupture. CONCLUSION This study found a 4.59% rerupture risk after PHAI repair. Most reruptures (75%) occurred within the first 6 months after surgery. Risk factors for rerupture included chronicity and initial complete injury. The optimal threshold for chronicity of PHAI lesions, based on rerupture rate, was marked by an injury-surgery delay of >32 days.

Abstract
BACKGROUND No validated score is available for the prediction of return to sport (RTS) after proximal hamstring avulsion (PHA) surgery. PURPOSE To validate a new assessment tool for patients after PHA surgery: the Parisian Hamstring Avulsion Score (PHAS). STUDY DESIGN Cohort study (Diagnosis); Level of evidence, 3. METHODS All patients at our clinic who had surgery for PHA between January 2015 and March 2018 were included in this study. A suspected clinical diagnosis of PHA was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. PHA was repaired by surgical reinsertion with suture anchors. Minimum postoperative follow-up was 2 years, and the PHAS, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), score, and Tegner score were used. The PHAS is a patient-reported outcome measure, evaluating the effect of PHA injury with 9 items. It was validated by calculating its psychometric properties, and then correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationship between the PHAS, UCLA score, and Tegner score. Cutoff values for the prediction of RTS were determined. RESULTS A prospective case series study was performed. A total of 156 patients were included. Median age (first quartile; third quartile) was 54.2 years (44.7 years; 61.3 years), and the mean ± SD time of the final follow-up was 69 ± 11.6 months. Two years after surgery, 66.7% (n = 104) of patients were able to RTS. A strong correlation was noted between all 3 scores at 1 year postoperatively. Overall internal consistency was high, with a Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.86. The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.96, showing excellent reliability. The minimal detectable change was 12.9. No patients reached the maximum score at 2 years. Analysis of the receiver operating characteristic curves of the 3 scores at postoperative 9 months in relation to the RTS at 1 and 2 years showed area under the curve values of >0.7, indicating significant discriminant capacity for the RTS. A PHAS cutoff value of 86 at 9 months for the prediction of RTS at postoperative 1 year had a sensitivity of 65.6% (95% CI, 53.7%-77.5%) and a specificity of 81.4% (95% CI, 69.8%-93%). CONCLUSION PHAS is a valid and reliable tool for follow-up after PHA surgery. It also offers a simple way to predict RTS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proximal hamstring complex injury (PHCI) is a common injury among professional athletes, particularly those participating in pivot contact sports. Previous studies have suggested that surgery can be effective in restoring function and allowing athletes to return to sport (RTS), but the factors influencing successful RTS have been less clear. PURPOSE To assess RTS capabilities after surgical treatment of PHCI in professional athletes and to identify favorable predictors of RTS. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS This study (2002-2022) was conducted on professional athletes who underwent surgical treatment for PHCI at a sports surgery center. The primary outcome of the study was the RTS capability, evaluated based on the rate of athletes' return to their preinjury level of competition, time delay to RTS, and quality of RTS as measured using their level of performance and progression of scores on activity scales such as the Tegner Activity Scale (TAS) and University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), scale. "Maintained performance" was defined as athletes returning to the same preinjury activity level (per the TAS and UCLA scale) and perceiving themselves to have maintained their performance. Secondary outcomes covered the potential RTS predictors and complication rate. The study distinguished 2 types of PHCI: proximal hamstring tendon avulsion injury (proximal rupture with empty footprint, or having a "positive dropped ice cream sign") and complete proximal hamstring free tendon rupture (PHTR; proximal rupture without empty footprint, or having a "negative dropped ice cream sign"). RESULTS The study examined 64 professional athletes (mean age, 27.3 years; 82.8% male) undergoing surgery for PHCI. The RTS rate was 98.4%, with 78.1% of the athletes returning to their preinjury level of competition at 6.2 months (SD, 2.5 months). Twelve (19%) patients had returned to sport at an inferior level of competition, and 2 (3.1%) were unable to continue in their preinjury sport. Subgroup analysis revealed variation in RTS based on sport type, with the highest rate of return to preinjury performance found in athletes in handball and sports with splits (fencing, squash, and escalade; 100%) and soccer (95.2%). In the univariate analysis, male sex (hazard ratio [HR], 4.05; 95% CI, 1.45-11.3; P = .008), higher preinjury TAS score (HR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.06-1.52; P = .011), injury involving the semimembranosus (HR, 4.84; 95% CI, 2.31-10.2; P < .001) or conjoint tendon (HR, 3.12; 95% CI, 1.55-6.25; P = .001), and PHTR (HR, 7.77; 95% CI, 3.54-17.0; P < .001) were significantly associated with a better postoperative level of competition. Multivariate analysis identified 3 favorable predictors of RTS with HRs of 2.91 (95% CI, 1.01-8.35; P = .047) for male sex, 3.86 (95% CI, 1.78-8.37; P < .001) for isolated semimembranosus injury, and 5.18 (95% CI, 2.24-12.0; P < .001) for PHTR. The complication rate was 4.7%. CONCLUSION Favorable predictors of early RTS were male sex, isolated semimembranosus injury, and PHTR injuries.

Abstract
PURPOSE Theoretically, short semi-tendinosus grafts result in less pain and morbidity while providing greater knee flexion strength and sparing the gracilis tendon. They often require the use of blind bone tunnels as well as fixation at both ends of the graft with suspensory cortical buttons. The « Tape Locking Screw » (TLS) system is another option. There are few studies comparing ACL reconstruction with a short graft using the 4-strand semitendinosus graft (ST4-TLS) technique with that of the semitendinosus-gracilis (STG) procedure. This study was designed : 1) to compare the retear rate following these two technics after 2 years of follow-up, 2) to compare the clinical scores, complications and return to sport times between the two procedures Q1, Q2 Hypothesis: Our hypothesis was that there would be no differences in retear rates between the two techniques. METHODS This single center case-control study included 290 patients who underwent STG reconstruction that were paired by propensity score matching to 299 patients who underwent ST4-TLS reconstruction. The main evaluation criterion was the retear rate 2 years after surgery. Secondary criteria were the two-year postoperative complication rate, the time to return to sport, to pivot sports and to running, as well as the complication rates and clinical scores 6 months, 1 year and 2 years after surgery. RESULTS At the final follow-up the overall retear rate in our series of ACL ligament reconstruction was 6.0% (36/596). There was no difference in retear rates between the groups 2 years after ligament reconstruction (ST4-TLS: 6.7% (20/299) vs STG: 5.4% (16/297); p=0.47). The postoperative KOOS symptom score and the Tegner score were found to be better in the STG group at 1 year (81 vs 78, p= 0.008) and 2 years (5.64 vs 5.10, p=0.016), respectively, representing the minimally clinically important difference (MCID) for the latter. No difference was found in the other clinical scores 6 months, 1 year or 2 years after surgery. There was no significant difference in the return to sport (TLS: 93.0% (164/299) vs STG: 93.0% (158/297) p=0.99) or the complication rate (TLS: 8.7% (26/299) vs STG: 7.4% (22/297) p=0.89) between the groups. DISCUSSION The ST4-TLS ACL ligament reconstruction technique was found to be as reliable as the standard STG procedure 2 years after surgery for the retear rate and the return to sport, although the results of certain postoperative clinical scores seem to be lower.

Abstract
Background The 12-item Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Return to Sport after Injury (ACL-RSI) scale was developed to assess the psychological readiness of patients to return to sports after ACL reconstruction (ACLR). A short (6-item) English version was also developed, which has shown to have good reliability and validity. Purpose/Hypothesis We aimed to develop and validate a French version of the short ACL-RSI scale. We hypothesized that the same questions would remain in the selection as the English version and that the French version of the scale would have the same psychometric properties. Study Design Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 3. Methods The full 12-item French ACL-RSI scale was administered to 1000 patients who had undergone ACLR surgery. Reliability (Cronbach alpha) and factor analysis of the full scale were determined. Item selection and elimination process was conducted to develop a short (6-item) version. The same methodology was used to develop the English short ACL-RSI scale. A minimal (3-item) version was also developed and assessed. Results Internal consistency of the full version of the French ACL-RSI was found to be high (Cronbach alpha = .95), suggesting item redundancy. The short (6-item) version was also found to have high internal consistency (Cronbach alpha = .92) and was strongly correlated with the full version (r = 0.98). The minimal (3-item) version was also found to have high internal consistency, as well as a strong correlation with the full version (r = 0.94). Conclusion The French version of the short (6-item) ACL-RSI scale was valid, discriminant, consistent, and reproducible. The minimal (3-item) version was also found to be useful and more efficient to collect the information provided by the full ACL-RSI in a French-speaking population.

Abstract
PURPOSE Environmental sustainability in medicine is a growing concern. Determining the carbon footprint of medical procedures may aid in selecting a less impactful technique moving forward. The purpose of this study was to understand the environmental impact of different anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction techniques, for which there is no consensus in terms of optimal graft. METHODS A life cycle analysis of different anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction techniques was performed. These included quadrupled semitendinosus graft, bone-patellar tendon-bone graft, iliotibial band augmented with gracilis graft, doubled semitendinosus and doubled gracilis graft, and quadriceps tendon graft. All procedures were systematically paired with a lateral extra-articular procedure. The study was conducted in a specialised centre using surgeon preference cards, with the help of a dedicated organisation for calculation according to the ISO 14044 standard. The primary outcome measure was the carbon footprint of each of the five techniques. Secondary outcomes included other environmental impact indicators, including human carcinogenic toxicity and mineral resource scarcity, among others, based on the ReCiPe 2016 midpoint guideline. The analysis had three scopes, each encompassing varying numbers of processes: graft implantation, full procedure, and entire environmental impact, from medical prescription to patient discharge. Results were reported as percentage increases compared to the graft technique with the lowest environmental impact. RESULTS It was demonstrated that the surgical procedure itself accounted for <40% of the life cycle, with arthroscopy being 88% of surgery's GHG emissions, and scrubbing and draping contributing 39% to the carbon footprint. The iliotibial band augmented with gracilis tendon technique had the lowest carbon footprint (0.199 Kg Co2 eq), and the least impact in most categories at all scopes of the life cycle analysis. Using this technique as a reference, in terms of graft implantation, it was determined that extensor mechanism grafts had the highest carbon footprint (300% higher than the reference). Greater scopes showed a similar trend, with percentage differences decreasing significantly, reaching 1-3% when considering the entire environmental impact for most categories. Nevertheless, among the aforementioned factors of the ReCiPe 2016 guidelines, the semitendinosus graft paried with a lateral extra-articular procedure displayed greater difference in human carcinogenic toxicity and mineral resource scarcity (6% and 10% respectively) compared to the reference. The individual processes with the highest impact were also highlighted. CONCLUSIONS In the institution where the study was conducted, the studied iliotibial band graft option was found to have the lowest environmental impact. Such analyses of standardised procedures can be replicated in individual institutions in order to determine their environmental impact. Identification of procedures with comparable results and differing environmental consequences may influence the future decision-making process. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II, prospective cohort study.

Abstract
PURPOSE Multiple different materials are used for filling bone defects following bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) graft ACL reconstruction surgery. The theoretical objective being to minimize kneeling pain, improve clinical outcomes and reduce anterior knee pain following surgery. The impact of these materials is assessed in this study. METHODS A prospective monocentric cohort study was conducted from January 2018 to March 2020. There were 128 skeletally mature athletic patients who underwent ACL reconstruction using the same arthroscopic-assisted BPTB technique, with a minimum follow-up of two years identified in our database. After obtaining approval from the local ethics committee, 102 patients were included in the study. Patients were divided into three groups based on type of bone substitute. The Bioactive glass 45S5 ceramic Glassbone™ (GB), collagen and hydroxyapatite bone void filler in sponge form Collapat® II (CP), and treated human bone graft Osteopure®(OP) bone substitutes were used according to availability. Clinical evaluation of patients at follow-up was performed using the WebSurvey software. A questionnaire completed in the 2nd post-operative year included three items: The ability to kneel, the presence of donor site pain, and the palpation of a defect. Another assessment tool included the IKDC subjective score and Lysholm score. These two tools were completed by patients preoperatively, and postoperatively on three occasions (6 months, 1 year, and 2 years). RESULTS A total of 102 patients were included in this study. In terms of Kneeling pain, the percentage of GB and CP patients' who kneel with ease were much higher than that of OP patients (77.78%, 76.5% vs 65.6%, respectively). All three groups experienced an important increase in IKDC and Lysholm scores. There was no difference in anterior knee pain between the groups. CONCLUSION The use of Glassbone® and Collapat II® bone substitutes reduced the incidence of kneeling pain compared to Osteopure®. There was no influence of the bone substitute type on the functional outcome of the knee or on the anterior knee pain at two years of follow.

Abstract
PURPOSE Mucoid degeneration of the anterior cruciate ligament is rare condition; mucoid degeneration affects the range of motion of the knee with pain on terminal extension and terminal flexion. Arthroscopic treatment of the mucoid anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the treatment of choice. The purpose of this study was to provide demographic and clinical characteristic of mucoid degeneration of ACL and assess the outcomes of partial arthroscopic ACL resection. METHODS Patients who underwent partial ACL resection for mucoid degeneration between February 2007 and February 2019 were considered for study eligibility. Patients were evaluated for International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), The Anterior Cruciate Ligament Return to Sport After Injury (ACL-RSI), The Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and Tegner activity scale. RESULTS Sixty patients underwent partial ACL resection for mucoid degeneration of the ACL. Nine patients were lost to follow-up, 43 were males, the average age was 52.12±12.09 and a mean follow-up of 83.55±44.79 months. At final follow-up six patients underwent ACL reconstruction for ACL rupture (11.7%) at an average of 15.66±12 months. Patient satisfaction was at 71%. CONCLUSION Arthroscopic partial resection of the ACL led to good clinical outcome for treating mucoid degeneration of the ACL.

PURPOSE To evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of a patient-specific, customized individually made (CIM) total knee replacement (TKR) using the ORIGIN® prosthesis. METHODS This was a prospective study conducted at a University Hospital from January 15, 2019, to April 30, 2021. The study included patients planned for an ORIGIN® CIM TKR procedure. Exclusion criteria included revision surgery, severe deformity, stiffness, or laxity. Evaluations were carried out using computed tomography scans performed 8 weeks preoperatively and 6 weeks postoperatively. The primary outcome measurements were the preoperative, planned, and postoperative CT scan alignment measurements including the Hip-Knee-Ankle (HKA) angle, mechanical Medial Distal Femoral articular surface Angle (mMDFA, distal alpha angle), Posterior Distal femoral articular surface angle (PDFA, posterior alpha angle), mechanical Medial Proximal Tibial articular surface Angle (mMPTA, beta angle) and posterior proximal tibial angle (PPTA). Secondary outcomes included the accuracy of implant positioning with percentage of outliers at 2° and 3° RESULTS: The study encompassed 51 knees from 50 patients with mean age of 68.1 (SD = 8.89). The overall HKA angle deviated by -0.93° [95% CI: -1.45; -0.43], and the PDFA angle by -0.61° [95% CI: -1.07; -0.15], while the mMPTA exceeded planned values by 1.00° [95% CI: 0.57; 1.43]. The 3° outliers rate ranged from 3.9% for the mMPTA to 7.8% for the HKA alignment, with no outliers in mMDFA and PPTA. Similarly, the 2° outliers rate ranged from 15.7% for both the PDFA angle and mMPTA to 19.6% for the HKA alignment. The Bland-Altman plots further emphasized the precision of planned and post-operative angles across all measurements. CONCLUSION The CIM TKR showed high accuracy and reproducibility, closely matching preoperative planning. The weakest accuracy at 3°-outliers is in the reproduction of the HKA alignment at 92.2% (range for all angle: 92.2-100%). Similarly, the weakest accuracy at 2°-outliers is in the reproduction of the HKA alignment at 80.4% (range for all angles: 80.4-92.2%).

Abstract
The main aim of this study was to determine the level of evidence in the literature for the main indications of osteopathy as recommended by the French osteopathy societies. This systematic review followed the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and evaluated articles published between January 2012 and January 2022 with one modification: when level one evidence studies were available, level two to five studies were excluded. Sources included PubMed, the Cochrane library, the French National Health Authority (HAS) and its affiliates. Inclusion criteria were level one published studies on the indications for osteopathic treatment in French and English, and level two to three studies when no level one studies were available. The level of evidence assessment was based on the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (OCEBM) Levels of Evidence classification. The primary outcome was the level of evidence in the literature supporting osteopathic practices. The secondary outcome was to assess French professional osteopathy recommendations and French HAS guidelines in relation to the scientific literature. A total of 51 articles and nine recommendations from the HAS and its affiliates met the inclusion criteria for the systematic review. Analysis of the studies revealed 41 osteopathic indications from French osteopathy societies for musculoskeletal, neurosensory, psychological, pediatric, gynecological, digestive, and pulmonary disorders. High-level scientific evidence supported the use of osteopathy for low back pain, sciatica, cervical radiculopathy, and ankle sprain. There was moderate evidence for tension headache, temporomandibular joint disorder, endometriosis, and low back and pelvic pain in pregnant women. HAS recommended five indications, while nine indications were supported in the scientific literature. Osteopathy has been shown to have evidence-based benefits for a range of conditions, in particular for musculoskeletal and neurosensory disorders.

Abstract
PURPOSE The return to sport is one of the main goals following Achilles tendon tear repair. Several psychological factors influence the return to sport after a sports injury. The traditional tools to assess the return to sport do not take into account psychological factors. The ankle ligament reconstruction-return to sport injury (ALR-RSI), validated for ankle instability, is a score to evaluate psychological readiness to return to sport. The goal of this study was to validate the ALR-RSI score for the assessment of the readiness to return to sport after Achilles tendon repair. METHODS The ALR-RSI score, adapted from the anterior cruciate ligament-return to sport injury (ACL-RSI) score used following knee ligament reconstruction, was validated according to the international COSMIN methodology. Patients operated for Achilles tendon repair responded to the questionnaire during the rehabilitation period. The EFAS, FAAM and VISA-A scores were used as reference questionnaires. RESULTS A total of 50 patients were included. The ALR-RSI score was strongly (r > 0.5) correlated to the EFAS score: r = 0.68 [0.50-0.80] the FAMM sport score: r = 0.7 [0.52-0.84] the FAAM AVQ score (r = 0.6 [0.35-0.78]), and the VISA-A score (r = 0.54 [0.26-0.76]). The discriminant validity was good with the ALR-RSI, which was significantly lower in the patients that did not return to sport: 60.7 (40-81.4) compared to those that did: 83.2 (64.3-100) p = 0.001. Reproducibility was excellent with an intra-class correlation coefficient ρ of 0.99 [097-1.00]. The internal consistency was excellent (alpha coefficient = 0.95). CONCLUSION The ALR-RSI score provides a valid, reproducible assessment of the psychological readiness to return to sport in patients who undergo surgical Achilles tendon suture repair.

Abstract
Background Alternative citation metrics-such as the Altmetric Attention Score (AAS), number of tweets (TN), and dimensions badge value (DBV)-are emerging as new options for assessing the value of scientific works. Purpose To analyze the AAS of highly cited articles on the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and to assess the relationship between alternative and traditional metrics such as journal rankings and article citation performance. Study Design Cross-sectional study. Methods A search was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection of databases with "anterior cruciate ligament" as the search term. Full-text articles published between 2011 and 2021 were reviewed, and the top 100 cited articles were determined. The articles were analyzed by publication year, study design, research topic, journal impact factor, journal h-index, number of total citations (TC), recent citations (RC) (ie, citations in the latest 2 years), and average citation per year (ACY), as well as AAS, TN, and DBV. Results For articles in the top 100 list, the median TC was 160 (interquartile range [IQR], 117-561) and the median AAS was 24.50 (IQR, 1-730). A higher AAS score was achieved by articles on return to sports and anterolateral ligament (P < .05). The AAS and TN were significantly and positively correlated with the RC (r = 0.459 and P = .001; r = 0.438 and P = .001, respectively) and ACY (r = 0.363 and P = .001; r = 0.393 and P = .001, respectively). Conclusion Alternative metrics were linked to traditional metrics but were not a direct representation of bibliometrics. The AAS was not correlated with TC numbers in the ACL research. Higher AAS and Twitter popularity of an article were related to receiving high-volume RC performance. The DBV represented a stronger correlation with traditional metrics than the AAS.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS) are increasingly used for patient evaluation, as well as for scientific research. Few are used for practical purposes in the clinical setting, and few are reliable enough to allow proper feedback to physicians. Two of the most commonly used assessment tools in shoulder instability are the Walch-Duplay and the Rowe scores. The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of self-administered versions of the Walch-Duplay and Rowe scores following shoulder stabilization procedure. METHODS Between the months of May and December 2021, all patients who were followed in one of six institutions for shoulder instability were included. Patients were required to anonymously fill a self-administered version of Walch-Duplay and Rowe score. The classic scores were measured by the surgeon. Correlations between self-assessment and physician-assessment were then recorded. RESULTS A total of 106 patients were evaluated during the study period. Using the Spearman coefficient for correlation, a strong correlation (r > 0.5) was found between the results of the self-administered questionnaire and the surgeon-measured score. The difference between surgeon- and patient-administered questionnaires was non-significant. CONCLUSION The self-administered version of the Walch-Duplay and Rowe questionnaires can reliably be used in the clinical setting for post-operative follow-up of patients undergoing shoulder stabilization procedures. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II.

Abstract
While anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using the iliotibial band is not a new technique, it still remains underdeveloped. The iliotibial band has historically been described as a thin and less resistant structure. Its harvesting has been associated with a risk of complications (hematoma, muscle hernia) and its small graft diameter increases the risk of rerupture. The addition of the gracilis tendon could potentially produce a graft with an increased diameter. In this technical note, we present a modification to the traditional technique performed on 50 patients, describing the surgical steps, graft diameter, clinical outcomes and complications at the 2-year follow-up. The mean graft diameter was 8.9±0.9 mm at the femur and 7.7±0.7 mm at the tibia. No rerupture was reported at the 2-year follow-up. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The return-to-sport rate at 2 years after multiple-revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions has not been evaluated. HYPOTHESIS It was hypothesized that patients who undergo multiple-revision ACL reconstructions would have a lower return-to-sport rate at 2 years after surgery than those who undergo a single-revision reconstruction. Furthermore, it was hypothesized that the multiple-revision group would have lower functional scores. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS A single-center cohort study in patients who underwent revision ACL reconstruction was begun in 2012. This study included 2 groups: Patients who underwent a single revision, and those who underwent multiple revisions. The main evaluation criterion was the return to sport at the 2-year follow-up. The secondary criteria were the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), Lysholm, and ACL-Return to Sport after Injury (ACL-RSI) functional knee scores at the 1- and 2-year follow-ups. RESULTS A total of 322 patients (single-revision group: n = 302; multiple-revision group: n = 20) were included. A significant difference in the percentage of patients who stopped all sports activity was found between the 2 groups at 2 years (single-revision group: 19.4%; multiple-revision group: 50%). The return-to-sport rate at the same or lower level of performance was higher in the single-revision group as well (17% vs 14.3% for return at the same level; 45.6% vs 14.3% for return at a lower level; P = .03). At the 2-year follow-up, the functional scores of the single-revision group were significantly higher those than in the multiple-revision group: IKDC (77.7 ± 13.82 vs 64.79 ± 15.22; P < .001), KOOS (72.66 ± 17.63 vs 52.5 ± 15.64; P < .001), Lysholm (84.05 ± 11.88 vs 72.5 ± 13.49; P < .001), and ACL-RSI (52.34 ± 21.83 vs 46.43 ± 14.8; P = .0036). CONCLUSION Only a small percentage of patients returned to the same level of sport after single- revision and multiple-revision ACL reconstruction, yet significantly more in the former. More patients who underwent multiple revisions gave up their sport. Functional scores were higher for single-revision than multiple-revision surgeries.

Abstract
This surgical technique of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction uses a 4-stranded hamstring tendons graft (HG), via an inside-out approach with a femoral cortical button and a tibial screw. It offers preservation of the tibial attachment of the hamstrings and enables double tibial fixation: biological and mechanical. This technique, "BIOFAST HG", does not require any calculation of the length of the tunnels, nor the use of different sized, or adjustable, buttons. If the sliding in the femoral tunnel fails, it is possible to easily convert to a so-called "classic technique". The first 60 cases were reviewed with a conversion rate of 3%. This technique allows the benefits of a pedicled graft over the classic HG technique in a simple way, with minimal conversions to the classic technique.

Abstract
Background: Presoaking anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) grafts in vancomycin has been reported to reduce the occurrence of septic arthritis (SA). However, strong recommendations for its universal use have been precluded by concerns regarding the fragility of previous meta-analyses. Purpose: The primary objective was to investigate whether presoaking ACL grafts in vancomycin was associated with a reduction in the rate of SA in a large series of patients. The secondary objective was to perform an updated systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the efficacy of vancomycin in reducing the rate of SA. Study Design: Cohort study and systematic review; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients who underwent primary ACL reconstruction (ACLR) at our institution was undertaken. Rates of postoperative SA were determined and analyzed according to whether patients had received grafts presoaked in vancomycin. A systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis was performed. Odds ratios (ORs) for the risk of SA were calculated according to the inverse variance approach. Results were presented using forest plots, funnel plots, and the fragility index. Results: A total of 5300 patients underwent primary ACLR during the study period. The rate of SA was 0.34% (11/3228) in the control group and 0.05% (1/2072) in the presoaked group. There was a 5-fold greater risk of SA in patients who did not receive grafts presoaked in vancomycin (OR, 5.13 [95% CI, 1.16-48.30]; P = .04). Overall, 11 studies were included in the systematic review (29,659 ACLR procedures). The meta-analysis demonstrated a significantly greater risk of SA in those patients who did not receive grafts presoaked in vancomycin (OR, 14.39 [95% CI, 5.90-35.10]; fragility index = 23). This finding held true for the subpopulation receiving hamstring tendon grafts (fragility index = 16), but only a trend was demonstrated for bone–patellar tendon–bone grafts. Conclusion: The meta-analysis demonstrated that presoaking ACL grafts in vancomycin was associated with significant reductions in the rates of SA when all graft types were analyzed together. This finding held true specifically for hamstring tendon autografts. The fragility index of these findings allows for a strong recommendation for the universal use of vancomycin presoaking. However, it should be noted that only a trend toward reduced SA rates was demonstrated with presoaking bone–patellar tendon–bone autografts in vancomycin.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, computer assistance has revolutionalized surgery and has enabled enormous advancements in knee prosthesis surgery. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a hot topic of orthopaedic research. Reflecting population dynamics, its use continues to increase, especially in high demand populations. Therefore, efforts to achieve the best fit and precise alignment in TKA continue. Computer assistance is valuable for knee prosthesis surgeons in this regard. This manuscript investigated the use of computer assistance in knee prosthesis surgery. The effects of computer use on important facets of knee prosthesis surgery, such as precision, clinical aspects, and costs, were examined. Moreover, an overall review of the recent literature on the navigation and personalized cutting guides was conducted.

Abstract
PURPOSE Systematic reviews report return to play (RTP) within 5.8 months (range, 3-8) following the Latarjet procedure, but the factors that influence RTP remain unknown. The present study aimed to report the rate and time of return to play (RTP) during the first 8 months following the Latarjet procedure, and to determine the influence of sport type or patient characteristics. METHODS The authors retrospectively collected the records of patients that underwent Latarjet procedures for anterior shoulder instability between 2015 and 2017. Patients were excluded if they had any concomitant rotator cuff tendon lesions, or previous ipsilateral shoulder surgery. The authors retrieved patient demographics, time from injury to surgery, type of sport practiced (overhead/non-overhead, contact/non-contact), as well as pre- and postoperative Western Ontario Shoulder Instability index (WOSI), Shoulder Instability-Return to Sport After Injury index (SIRSI), and Rowe score. RESULTS A total of 217 patients (217 shoulders) were eligible for inclusion, comprising 184 males and 33 females, aged 26.8 ± 7.3 years at index surgery. The main sport practiced prior to surgery involved overhead (n = 173, 80%) and/or contact (n = 152, 70%) activities. By 8 month follow-up, 158 patients (73%) resumed their main sport, at a mean of 5.1 ± 1.5 months. Multivariable analysis revealed that RTP was more likely in patients with higher preoperative Rowe score (OR, 1.02; p = 0.024) and SIRSI score (OR, 1.02; p = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS By 8 months following the Latarjet procedure, 73% of patients had resumed their main sport. The likelihood of RTP was significantly associated with preoperative Rowe and SIRSI scores, but not with sport type. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare return to sport and knee function 1 year after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using autografts with and without vancomycin presoaking. METHODS A case-control study based on a retrospective analysis of prospective data included athletes over the age of 16 operated from 2012 to 2018 for ACL reconstruction. There were two groups of patients due to a change in treatment protocols: Group 1 « without vancomycin » before November 2016 and Group 2 « with vancomycin» after this date. In Group 2, the graft was soaked in a vancomycin solution for 10 min and then fixed into the bone tunnels. The primary evaluation criterion was the return to sport 1 year after surgery. The secondary criteria were various knee scores. The number of patients needed to perform a non-inferiority study was calculated. RESULTS 1674 patients fulfilled the selection criteria, 1184 in Group 1 and 490 in Group 2. The series included 1112 men and 562 women, mean age 30 ± 9.7 years, 68 professional athletes, 674 competitive athletes and 932 recreational athletes. While seven patients presented with post-operative septic arthritis in Group 1, this complication was not found in Group 2. No significant difference was identified in the return to running between the two groups 1 year after surgery (75.9% vs. 76.1%, n.s.). Significantly more of the patients in Group 2 returned to their preinjury sport (p = 0.04). Knee function was comparable between the groups. CONCLUSION Vancomycin-soaked grafts during ACL reconstruction reduce the risk of post-operative infection of the knee without affecting the return to sport or knee function. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The rate of septic arthritis in the knee after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction varies in the literature but is generally less than 1%. It has been reported to be higher in professional athletes (5.7%). PURPOSE The primary goal was to evaluate the rate of septic arthritis after ACL reconstruction in professional athletes compared with other patients. The secondary goals were to analyze the risk factors; increased cost of infections; return to sport, satisfaction, and functional results at 1-year follow-up; and resolution rate of infections at final follow-up. STUDY DESIGN Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS This retrospective analysis of prospective data included a continuous series of patients who underwent isolated ACL reconstruction between 2012 and 2016. The main outcome criterion was the development of intra-articular infections in the operated knee. An infection was suggested clinically (knee pain with fever and/or chills) and confirmed bacteriologically in deep tissue samples obtained during revision surgery. All infected patients underwent an emergency reoperation with lavage and debridement along with dual antibiotic therapy first by an intravenous route and then orally for 6 weeks. RESULTS A total of 1809 of 1859 patients included in the cohort during this period fulfilled inclusion criteria; there were 1632 (90.2%) who underwent primary reconstruction and 177 (9.8%) who underwent revision. The series included 1249 (69%) men and 560 (31%) women, with a mean age of 29.1 ± 9.8 years. Ninety-eight percent of the patients participated in a sport, including 90 (5.0%) at a professional level and 712 (39.4%) competitively. Septic arthritis of the knee developed after a mean 15.7 ± 5.5 days in 7 (0.38%) patients: 5 of 1632 (0.31%) who underwent primary reconstruction and 2 of 177 (1.13%) who underwent revision. Septic arthritis did not develop in any professional or competitive athletes; all affected patients were recreational athletes ( P = .02). The risk factors identified for the development of septic arthritis on multivariate analysis were prior knee surgery (odds ratio [OR], 15; P = .002) and hemarthrosis during the immediate postoperative period (OR, 127.2; P = .002). There were no recurrent infections after a mean follow-up of 2.8 ± 1.2 years. CONCLUSION None of the professional athletes in this cohort had septic arthritis after ACL reconstruction. There are no particular precautions to be taken in this population. The risk factors identified for the development of septic arthritis on multivariate analysis were prior knee surgery and hemarthrosis during the immediate postoperative period. Similar to all studies published on the subject, there were very few infected patients, which limits the identification of risk factors. REGISTRATION NCT02511158 (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier).

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the clinical results of patients who underwent surgical treatment for a intra-osseous tibial tunnel cyst on a bioabsorbable interference screw following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL). METHODS This retrospective study included all patients who underwent surgery between 2004 and 2016 for an intra-osseous tibial tunnel cyst on bioabsorbable interference screw following ACL reconstruction. The diagnosis was suggested clinically by pretibial pain at the incision site, sometimes associated with a palpable subcutaneous nodule and then confirmed on MRI. The first stage of surgery included exploratory arthroscopy followed by open excision/curettage of the cyst and then the tunnel was filled. The main criterion for outcome was a clinically normal knee (no pain, 0-120 range of motion, stable, with no effusion) at 6 months of follow-up. RESULTS This series included 53 patients, mean age 35.3 ± 9.9 years old w ith a mean 4.6 ± 3.1 years (between 3.1 months and 19 years) of follow-up after ligament reconstruction. The tibial screw was completely absorbed in 9/53 (17%) of patients, and fragmented in 22/53 (41.5%). At the 6-month follow-up, 42/53 (79.2%) patients had a normal knee, 11/53 (20.8%) persistent pain in the cyst area, 52/53 (98.1%) normal range of motion and 53 (100%) a stable knee. A recurrent cyst developed at 2 years of follow-up in one patient. CONCLUSION Complete absorption of a bioabsorbable interference screw is long, increasing the risk of developing intra-osseous tibial cysts during this period. The development of new materials with improved absorption properties is needed. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV-Retrospective study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The decision to return to sport following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction should not only be based on time since surgery. This study aimed to assess, using isokinetic and neuromuscular (hops) testing in a large group, postoperative objective functional recovery of the knee. The secondary objective was to determine the relationship between psychological, functional scores, and these postoperative tests. METHODS This prospective study included athletes who underwent surgery between 2013 and 2016 for an isolated full-thickness ACL tear. They received a complete evaluation of functional performance of the knee by isokinetic tests performed on a dynamometer to measure quadriceps and hamstring strength, and neuromuscular assessment based on single-leg hop tests. The main judgment criterion was satisfactory functional recovery (yes/no) defined as a difference of ≤10% both in the quadriceps 60°/s and the single hop at a minimum of four months of follow-up. RESULTS A total of 234 athletes were analyzed. The mean age was 28.4 ± 8.6 years. At 6.5 ± 1.7 months mean follow-up, 44 (18.5%) patients had satisfactory functional recovery of the knee. The correlations between isokinetic/hop tests and the different scores were variable. During follow-up, two patients presented with a graft tear and two with a contralateral ACL tear, all in the group with unsatisfactory functional recovery. CONCLUSION At a mean of six months after ACL reconstruction, objective functional recovery of the knee was generally unsatisfactory and this seemed to be a risk factor for recurrent tears.

Abstract
Background: Successful return to sport after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction requires optimal physical and psychological recovery. The main validated tool to quantify a patient’s psychological readiness to return to sport after this surgery is the Anterior Cruciate Ligament–Return to Sport after Injury (ACL-RSI) scale. Purpose: The primary aim was to analyze the progression of the ACL-RSI score from preoperatively to 2-year follow-up. A secondary goal was to identify the factors associated with returning to the same preinjury sport. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2. Methods: This prospective study included athletes older than 16 years in all sports and levels of play who underwent primary and revision isolated ACL reconstruction from 2012 to 2015 and responded to all study questionnaires at 2-year follow-up. The primary outcome was the ACL-RSI score obtained preoperatively and at 4-month, 6-month, 1-year, and 2-year follow-up. The secondary outcomes were return to sport (running and the same preinjury sport) and various functional scores. The optimal threshold value of the ACL-RSI score for returning to the same preinjury sport was determined with the receiver operating characteristic curve. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify other factors associated with returning to the same sport at 2-year follow-up. Results: A total of 681 patients were analyzed (467 men, 214 women; mean age, 30.2 ± 9.5 years); 298 (43.8%) patients were professional or competitive athletes. The ACL-RSI score improved significantly over time: 41.3 ± 25.4 preoperatively, 55.1 ± 21.3 at 4 months, 58.3 ± 22.3 at 6 months, 64.7 ± 24.2 at 1 year, and 65.2 ± 25.3 at 2 years (P < .00001). At 2-year follow-up, 74.9% of patients had returned to running and 58.4% to their same preinjury sport. The ACL-RSI score was significantly higher in patients who had returned to sport and in those who returned to the same level of play or higher (P < .00001). The optimal ACL-RSI score threshold to return to the same sport at 2-year follow-up was ≥65. Multivariate analysis showed that the predictive factors of returning to the same preinjury sport at 2-year follow-up were primary reconstruction, professional or competitive level of play, an ACL-RSI score ≥60 at 6-month follow-up, and the absence of postoperative complications. Conclusion: The psychological ACL-RSI score improved regularly after ACL reconstruction and was strongly and significantly associated with return to sport.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have reported the return-to-sport rate at 1-year follow-up after primary and revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. PURPOSE To compare the return-to-sport rate 1 year after primary and revision ACL reconstruction in the same cohort according to 2 modalities: any kind of sport and the patient's usual sport at the same level as before the injury. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS A single-center, prospective cohort study of patients undergoing ACL reconstruction (French prospective Acl STudy [FAST]) was begun in 2012. A comparative study was performed based on a retrospective analysis of data collected prospectively. Included were all athletes aged 18 to 50 years who underwent primary or revision isolated ACL reconstruction between 2012 and 2014. Two groups were formed: primary reconstruction and revision reconstruction. The main criterion was return to sport at 1-year follow-up (yes/no); secondary criteria were return to the usual sport at 1-year follow-up, knee function (International Knee Documentation Committee [IKDC] and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score [KOOS] scores), and psychological readiness (ACL-Return to Sports after Injury [ACL-RSI] score) at 6 months and 1 year. RESULTS A total of 552 patients (primary reconstruction group: n = 497, revision reconstruction group: n = 55) were included in the study. There were 373 men and 179 women (mean [±SD] age, 30.2 ± 8.4 years). No significant difference in the return-to-sport rate was found between the 2 groups at 1-year follow-up (primary reconstruction group: 90.9%, revision reconstruction group: 87.3%; P = .38), but patients in the primary reconstruction group resumed their usual sport significantly more often (primary reconstruction group: 63.6%, revision reconstruction group: 49.1%; P = .04). Eight (1.4%) retears occurred during a new sport-related injury within a mean 8.9 ± 2.9 months: 7 (1.4%) in the primary reconstruction group and 1 (1.8%) in the revision reconstruction group ( P = .8). At 1-year follow-up, functional scores were significantly better in the primary reconstruction group for subjective IKDC (82.6 ± 13.3 vs 78.4 ± 16.6; P = .04); KOOS Symptoms/Stiffness (73.3 ± 15.2 vs 67.7 ± 19.6; P = .02), Activities of Daily Living (96.3 ± 6.4 vs 94.3 ± 9.1; P = .04), Sport (79.7 ± 19.1 vs 69.1 ± 24.8; P = .0004), and Quality of Life (69.6 ± 22.7 vs 54.7 ± 24.8; P < .00001) subscales; and ACL-RSI (65 ± 23 vs 49.5 ± 24.8; P < .00001). On multivariate analysis, patients who were more likely to resume their usual sport at 1 year were high-level players (odds ratio [OR], 2.2) who underwent primary reconstruction (OR, 2.0) and had better KOOS Quality of Life (OR, 1.7) and subjective IKDC (OR, 2.1) scores at 6-month follow-up without complications or retears during the first postoperative year (OR, 2.6). CONCLUSION At 1-year follow-up, there was no significant difference in the return-to-sport rate between primary and revision ACL reconstruction. Patients who underwent primary reconstruction returned to their usual sport significantly more often. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT02511158 ( ClinicalTrials.gov identifier).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Femoral nerve block (FNB) is considered as a major advance in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction as it reduces the need for parenteral opioids. However, the incidence of transient or even permanent neurological deficits due to the FNB is estimated at 1.94% after knee surgery. The primary objective of this study was to compare local infiltration analgesia (LIA) to FNB during ACL reconstruction procedures. The study hypothesis was that LIA was not less effective than FNB on early postoperative pain. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of data collected prospectively in the FAST cohort included a series of continuous patients who underwent primary repair for isolated ACL with a hamstring graft in 2013-2014. Changes in our anesthesia practices over time allowed us to form three successive groups: Group 1 - FNB, Group 2 - FNB+LIA, Group 3 - LIA only. Ultrasound-guided FNB was done pre-operatively. The LIA was done at the end of the procedure by the surgeon with systematic infiltration of all skin incisions and the hamstring donor site; no intra-articular injections were performed. The primary endpoint was the average early postoperative pain (Days 0-3) described by the patient on a visual analogue scale (0-10). Sample size calculation pointed to 36 subjects being needed per group for a non-inferiority study. RESULTS The study involved 126 patients: G1=42, G2=38, G3=46. The patients were comparable at enrolment. The average early postoperative pain levels were 3.1±2.4, 2.8±2.0 and 2.5±2.2, respectively (P=0.66). A trend toward higher intake of tramadol was noted in the LIA group on D0 to D3, with a significant trend test on Day 1 (P=0.03) and Day 2 (P=0.02). CONCLUSION After reconstruction of isolated ACL tears with a hamstring graft, FNB is not more effective than LIA on patients' early postoperative pain. Patients who received a FNB consumed significantly less opioid-like analgesics. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III - Prospective, comparative, non-randomized study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Catastrophic cervical spine injuries are rare in rugby union but require close monitoring. The aim of this study was to analyse the incidence of severe cervical spine injuries and determine the impact of a national prevention programme and new scrum rules implemented by the French Rugby Union. METHODS A prospective study was performed between 2006 and 2013 including all players affiliated to the French Rugby Union. All cervical spine injuries resulting in death, tetraplegia or a permanent neurological deficit were included. Prevention programmes were implemented from 2007 to 2013 and a change in scrum rules in 2010. To measure the impact of rule changes, results between 2006-2010 and 2010-2013 were compared using a Poisson regression. RESULTS Altogether, 31 injuries were observed and the mean annual incidence was 1.6 per 100 000 players. There were significantly more injuries in senior players compared to junior players (3.5 vs 0.6 per 100 000 players; CI 95% (2.1 to 4.9) vs (0.1 to 1.0)). Incidence decreased from 1.8 in 2006 to 1.0 per 100 000 players in 2013 (p<0.0001). After 2010, there were significantly fewer injuries during scrums (p=0.02). In contrast, there were significantly more injuries in backs during 2010-2013 compared to 2006-2010 (p=0.003). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of catastrophic cervical spine injuries has declined in French Rugby Union. The implementation of specific prevention programmes and scrum law changes has notably resulted in a decrease in scrum injuries in forwards. This prospective study should be continued to monitor the future progression of injuries and adapt prevention programmes accordingly.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the most frequent demands from athletes after rotator cuff tear repair is to return to sport, if possible at the same level of play. PURPOSE The main goal of this study was to determine the rate of return to sport after treatment of rotator cuff tears. STUDY DESIGN Meta-analysis and systematic review. METHODS The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines were followed to perform this systematic review and meta-analysis of the results in the literature, as well as for the presentation of results. A search of the literature was performed on the electronic databases MEDLINE, Scopus, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library. The quality of the included studies was evaluated according to the MINORS (Methodological Index for Nonrandomized Studies) checklist. Inclusion criteria were studies in English evaluating return to sport after treatment of traumatic, degenerative, partial or full-thickness rotator cuff tears in patients practicing a sport regularly, whatever the level, all ages and sports included. The main judgment criterion was the number of patients who returned to a sports activity after treatment of a rotator cuff tear. The criterion was analyzed in 2 ways: return to sport (yes/no) and the level of play (identical or higher/lower level). RESULTS Twenty-five studies were reviewed, including 859 patients (683 athletes), all treated surgically after a mean follow-up of 3.4 years (range, 0.3-13.4 years). The level of sports was recorded in 23 studies or 635 (93%) athletes and included 286 competitive or professional athletes and 349 recreational athletes. The most commonly practiced sports were baseball (224 participants), tennis (104 participants), and golf (54 participants). The overall rate of return to sport was 84.7% (95% CI, 77.6%-89.8%), including 65.9% (95% CI, 54.9%-75.4%) at an equivalent level of play, after 4 to 17 months. Of the professional and competitive athletes, 49.9% (95% CI, 35.3-64.6%) returned to the same level of play. CONCLUSION Most recreational athletes return to sports at the same level of play as before their injury, but only half of professional and competitive athletes return to an equivalent level of play.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some surgical procedures are rarely done on an outpatient basis. The primary objective of this study was to assess the safety of outpatient surgical shoulder stabilisation using the Latarjet procedure. HYPOTHESIS The Latarjet procedure is safe when performed on an outpatient basis provided the patients are managed according to a specifically designed programme starting at the decision to undergo surgery and ending at the end of the early postoperative period. PATIENTS AND METHODS Consecutive patients with unidirectional anterior shoulder instability managed in 2013-2014 by primary open, minimally invasive surgery involving coracoid process transfer as described by Latarjet was included prospectively. One of the surgeons routinely offered outpatient surgery to patients who met none of the usual exclusion criteria (age>60years, ASA 3-4, and long distance from home to hospital). Standardised protocols were applied for anaesthesia and analgesia. The primary evaluation criterion was failure of the admission modality, defined as inpatient admission of a patient after outpatient surgery either without prior discharge or within 1week after discharge. Secondary evaluation criteria were early postoperative symptoms and functional outcomes after at least 1year. All self-reported criteria were entered online by the patients. RESULTS Of 46 included patients, 17 had outpatient surgery and 29 inpatient surgery. There were 41 males and 5 females, with a mean age of 25.3±6.4years. No significant baseline differences were found between the two groups. None of the outpatients required inpatient admission or readmission. No postoperative complications were recorded. After a mean follow-up of 18.5±5.2months, the two groups showed no significant differences for return to sports, apprehension, avoidance behaviours, or functional outcomes. Most patients were satisfied with their management and outcomes. CONCLUSION No serious adverse events were recorded in this first French prospective evaluation of the safety of open, minimally invasive shoulder stabilisation by the Latarjet procedure performed on an outpatient basis. Thus, in selected patients, the risks of outpatient surgery are similar to those of inpatient surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III, prospective, comparative, non-randomised study.

Abstract
PURPOSE The success of shoulder stabilization with the Latarjet procedure depends on the correct positioning of the coracoid graft at the glenoid. The aim of this study was to assess intra-observer reproducibility and inter-observer reproducibility of a new standardized CT scan analysis for coracoid graft positioning in the axial plane after the Latarjet procedure and to assess the positioning in the study group. METHODS A consecutive series of 27 patients (22 men, 5 woman, 26.1 ± 6.4 years-13 right, 14 left shoulders) were followed up with CT scans between 2010 and 2012. The analysis of the CT scans (2.4 ± 0.7 months postoperatively) was performed with Osirix™ software. The assessment included two criteria in the axial plane: relation of the graft to the articular surface of the glenoid and impingement of the graft with the maximal humeral head circumference. Grafts were judged to be lateral, congruent, flush or medial. The strength of intra-observer agreement and inter-observer agreement was measured by the Kappa coefficient. RESULTS The Kappa coefficient for intra-observer agreement was "substantial" (K = 0.64 ± 0.14, z = 4.6) to "almost perfect" (K = 0.81 ± 0.14, z = 5.7). The Kappa coefficient for inter-observer variability was "substantial" (K = 0.59 ± 0.14, z = 4.3) to "almost perfect" (K = 0.89 ± 0.14, z = 6.0). In our study, in the axial plane, 3 (11 %) transplants were lateral; 6 (22 %) transplants were congruent; 16 (60 %) flush and 2 (7 %) medial. CONCLUSION This standardized CT scan analysis after Latarjet procedure has shown to accurately describe graft positioning in the axial plane with both good intra-observer reproducibility and inter-observer reproducibility.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Kinesio-Taping(®) (K-Tape) is used in sports traumatology with the aim of reducing pain and improving blood and lymph circulation. The main objective of the present study was to assess the efficacy of K-Tape on early postoperative pain after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The study hypothesis was that K-Tape significantly decreases pain. METHOD A prospective non-randomized comparative study was conducted in 2013-2014 and included all patients who underwent primary ACL reconstruction by hamstring graft. Analgesia was standardized. Two groups, "K-Tape" and "controls", were formed according to the days on which the study physiotherapist was present. The K-Tape compression/decompression assembly was applied immediately postoperatively and maintained for 3days. Patients filled out online questionnaires. The main assessment criterion was mean postoperative pain (D0-D3) on a 0-to-10 scale. Secondary criteria were analgesia intake on the three WHO levels, awakening during the night of D0 due to pain, signs of postoperative discomfort, and patient satisfaction. RESULTS Sixty patients (30 per group) were included, 57 of whom could be assessed: 28 K-Tape, 29 controls; 44 male, 13 female; mean age, 30.9±8.9 years. At inclusion, the two groups were comparable. There was no significant difference in mean (D0-D3) knee pain intensity: 3.8±2.2 for K-Tape, and 3.9±2 for controls (P=0.93). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) found no significant intergroup difference in evolution of pain (P=0.34). There were no other significant differences on the other assessment criteria. CONCLUSION K-Tape showed no efficacy on early postoperative pain following ACL reconstruction. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III; prospective non-randomized comparative study.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to translate, adapt and validate in French the Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Return to Sport after Injury (ACL-RSI), a 12-item English language scale assessing the psychological impact of returning to sports after ACL reconstruction. METHODS The ACL-RSI scale was forward and back translated, cross-culturally adapted and validated using international guidelines. The study population included all patients who were active in sports and underwent primary arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. The control group included subjects with no history of knee trauma. At the 6-month follow-up, the study population completed the ACL-RSI scale twice within 3-4 days, Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and subjective International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scores. Statistical tests assessed the construct validity, discriminant validity, internal consistency, reliability and feasibility of the ACL-RSI scale. RESULTS Ninety-one patients with ACL tears and 98 control subjects were included: mean age 31.7 ± 8.1 and 21.8 ± 2, respectively. The ACL-RSI scores were correlated with all KOOS sub-categories (r = 0.22-0.64, p < 0.05) as well as the subjective IKDC score (r = 0.42, p < 0.00001). The mean scores of the study and control groups were significantly different (62.8 ± 19.4 vs. 89.6 ± 11.5, p < 0.00001), and scores were significantly better in patients who returned to the same sport (72.1 ± 21.4 vs. 60.3 ± 18.1, p = 0.008). Internal consistency was high (α = 0.96). Test-retest reproducibility was excellent: ρ = 0.90 (0.86-0.94), p < 0.00001. Administration time was 1.32 ± 0.7 mn, and all items were answered. CONCLUSION This study showed that the cross-cultural adaptation of the English version of the ACL-RSI was successful and validated in a French-speaking population. The discriminant capacity of the scale between patients who underwent reconstruction and healthy subjects was confirmed. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The principal objective of the present study was to compare rates of postoperative discomfort after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction between inpatient (In) and outpatient (Out) management. PATIENTS AND METHOD A single-surgeon non-randomized prospective comparative study included patients undergoing primary surgery for isolated ACL tear by short hamstring graft in 2012-13. The Out group comprised patients eligible for and consenting to outpatient surgery and the In group, those not eligible or not consenting. The principal assessment criterion was onset of at least 1 symptom of postoperative discomfort (SPD): anxiety, nausea and vomiting, malaise, vertigo or stomach pain, between postoperative days 0 and 3. Secondary assessment criteria were difficulty in getting to sleep, getting up during the night, regular walking or going out, number of episodes of knee pain and waking because of pain. All criteria were assessed on-line by the patient. RESULTS One hundred and thirty-three patients filled out the questionnaire, 70 in the Out group and 63 in the In group; 42 females, 91 males; mean age, 30±9 years. Between D0 and D3, the proportion of patients with ≥l SPD was comparable between groups (Out 37% vs In 41%, P=0.62). Out-group patients had significantly less difficulty sleeping the first postoperative night (P=0.01), got up significantly more often during the first night after surgery (P<0.0001), more often walked regularly on day 1 (P=0.03), and were significantly less often woken by pain during the first night (P=0.003). Risk factors for SPD were female gender (OR=4.8±1.9) and postoperative complications (OR=3.8±2.5). CONCLUSION Patients undergoing ACL reconstruction on an outpatient basis did not show more symptoms of postoperative discomfort than those managed as conventional inpatients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV; prospective comparative study.

Abstract
Background: Although guidelines based on expert opinions have been developed for the immediate management and return to play of athletes after a concussion, data are lacking on this issue. Objectives: Evaluate a standardized management of brain concussion among rugby players to prevent the recurrence. Patients and Methods: A prospective study was performed from September 2009 to June 2012. All rugby players who had a concussion when playing rugby were included. Patients were managed by a specialized hospital team with a specific protocol developed in collaboration with the medical staff of the rugby clubs included in the study. The series included 35 rugby players, with 23 professionals and 12 high-level players, 30 men and 5 women, mean age 23.1 ± 5.5 years old. The median number of previous concussions was 2 (0-30) episodes. According to the Cantu concussion severity classification, 3 athletes were grade 1, 12 were grade 2 and 20 were grade 3. None of the injured athletes was lost to follow-up. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of a new concussion within 3 months after the first in patients who returned to rugby. Results: Thirty-three patients returned to rugby after a mean 22.1 ± 10 days. The recurrence rate within 3 months was 2/33 (6.1%). The median delay before returning to rugby was 21 (7-45) days. Factors associated with a delayed return to play were young age, initial loss of consciousness, severity Cantu grade 3 and post-concussive syndrome of more than 5 days. Analysis of two failures showed that the initial injury was grade 3 and that both were professional athletes and had a history of concussion. Conclusions: This prospective study validated the study protocol for the management of concussion in rugby players.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to determine the rate of local recurrence, the rate of postoperative complications, and the functional outcome at final follow-up of surgical and nonsurgical treatment approaches for pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) of the knee. METHODS Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched for studies that reported the results of treatment for any type of PVNS between January 1, 1950, and August 1, 2013. Two authors extracted the data independently using predefined data fields including study quality indicators. RESULTS Sixty studies (1,019 patients) met the inclusion criteria. Thirty-five presented data on the treatment of localized pigmented villonodular synovitis (LPVNS), 40 on diffuse pigmented villonodular synovitis (DPVNS), 1 on extra-articular LPVNS, and 7 on DPVNS with extra-articular involvement. Many therapeutic options were reported. Depending on these options, DPVNS recurred in 8% to 70% of the series and LPVNS recurred in 0% to 8% of the series. For LPVNS, the 2 most-reported options were open localized synovectomy and arthroscopic local synovectomy. Between these 2 courses of treatment, no difference was found in terms of local recurrence (8.7% for open synovectomy and 6.9% for arthroscopic synovectomy) and postoperative complications (<1% for open synovectomy and 0% for arthroscopic synovectomy). For DPVNS, the 2 most-reported options were open total synovectomy and arthroscopic total synovectomy. Between these 2 courses of treatment, no difference was found in terms of local recurrence (22.6% for open synovectomy and 16.1% for arthroscopic synovectomy). However, we found a lower rate of reported complications between open synovectomy (19.3%) and arthroscopic synovectomy (0%). Internal irradiation or external beam radiation as an adjuvant treatment to surgical synovectomy seemed to decrease the rate of local recurrence in DPVNS cases with a high risk of recurrence. Finally, we found a great heterogeneity in the way the functional results were reported, and no valid conclusion could be made based on the data we extracted. CONCLUSIONS We found no difference in local recurrence rates after open or arthroscopic surgery for either LPVNS or DPVNS. However, a lower rate of postoperative complications was reported after arthroscopic surgery for DPVNS. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, systematic review of Level IV therapeutic studies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The main objective of this study was to assess the feasibility of outpatient surgery in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. We hypothesized that if the patient underwent the procedure within a dedicated organization, safety would be ensured. PATIENTS AND METHODS A non-randomized, prospective, comparative, single-operator study conducted in 2012-2013 included all patients undergoing first-line surgery for ACL arthroscopic reconstruction using a short hamstring graft. The outpatient group (OP) included patients who were eligible for outpatient surgery and provided consent; the conventional hospitalization group (CH) comprised those patients not suitable for outpatient surgery and those who refused it. The main evaluation criterion was failure of the admission modality defined as hospitalization of a patient who had undergone outpatient surgery or rehospitalization in the first week after discharge. The secondary evaluation criteria were the rate of postoperative complications, postoperative pain, use of analgesics, and patient satisfaction. A total of 138 patients were included: 71 in the OP group and 67 in the CH group, with a mean age of 29.6±9 years. Twenty-nine percent of the patients refused outpatient surgery. In the CH group, the mean hospital stay lasted 2.7±0.8 days. RESULTS One patient in the OP group was hospitalized with localized bleeding and there were no rehospitalizations. Six early postoperative complications were noted in each group. The mean postoperative pain on D0-D4 and patient satisfaction were similar in the two groups. CONCLUSION This prospective study encountered no serious events after outpatient ACL reconstruction surgery. In a selected population, the risks are comparable to those in conventional hospitalization. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, comparative study.

Abstract
PURPOSE The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of the bell-hammer sign in the diagnosis of partial tears of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee on MRI. METHODS A retrospective study was performed including all patients who underwent ACL reconstruction for partial or complete tears from 2008 to 2009. The diagnosis of partial or complete ACL tears was based on the appearance of the ligament bundles and the signal quality on MRI. On arthroscopy, which is considered the gold standard, each bundle was classified as normal, partially or completely torn depending on the extent of the rupture and the quality of the remaining fibres. The study included 312 patients, 83 women and 229 men (mean age 33.3 ± 19.6 years). A diagnosis of a tear was made in all patients on preoperative MRI. Arthroscopy did not show any normal ACL, 247/312 (79.2 %) complete tears and 65/312 (20.8%) partial tears, 50/65 (76.9%) on the anteromedial bundle (AM) and 15/65 (23.1%) the posterolateral bundle. RESULTS The bell-hammer sign was found on MRI in 13/312 patients (4.5%). It involved 9/65 (13.8%) partial tears, all in the AM bundle, and 4/247 (1.6%) complete tears, significantly more frequent in cases of partial rupture (p < 0.0001). MRI diagnosed a partial tear in 15/65 cases without the bell-hammer sign (sensitivity CI 95% = 23.1 ± 10%, specificity CI 95% = 95.9 ± 2.5%) and with the bell-hammer sign in 23/65 cases (sensitivity CI 95% = 35.4 ± 11%, specificity CI 95% = 93.9 ± 3%). The association of the bell-hammer sign with conventional radiological diagnostic criteria has improved diagnosis performance of MRI for partial tears but not significantly (ns). CONCLUSION The most important interest of the bell-hammer sign in the day-to-day clinical work is to suggest partial tears on MRI. It aids making a diagnosis, but its absence does not exclude partial ACL rupture. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Diagnostic study, Level II.

Abstract
PURPOSE The main purpose of this study was to investigate whether judo could be practised after joint replacement. METHODS Two hundred and twelve questionnaires were sent to Judokas licensed at the French Judo Federation, over the age of 60, with at least a black belt 6th Dan. Out of 83 responses, 38 individuals, mean age 72.8 ± 7.9 years old, had at least one implant. The survey identified 36 total hip arthroplasties (THA) in 27 patients, 10 total knee arthroplasties (TKA) in 8 patients and 3 total shoulder arthroplasties (TSA) in 3 patients. The main evaluation criterion was the return to judo after joint replacement. Secondary criteria were the level of judo after surgery, rate of surgical revision at the final follow-up and the level of patient satisfaction. RESULTS Twenty-nine out of 38 patients who underwent joint replacement returned to judo practice (76.3 %) a mean 4.1 ± 2.9 months after surgery. On the other hand, all patients stopped competitive judo. The surgeon recommended 65.8 % of these patients to stop practising judo. There were 2 surgical revisions in the THA group (5.5 %) for loosening at 6 and 9 years of follow-up. No dislocations or fractures were reported at the final follow-up. Thirty-two patients (84.2 %) were satisfied with their implant. CONCLUSION The practice of judo does not seem to be limited by joint replacement. A clinical and radiological study should be performed to confirm these results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pigmented villo-nodular synovitis (PVNS) is an uncommon proliferative condition of the synovial membrane that chiefly affects the knee. Arthroscopic synovectomy may carry lower morbidity rates but higher recurrence rates than open synovectomy. Here, our objective was to evaluate recurrence rates and functional outcomes after primary arthroscopic synovectomy for PVNS of the knee. HYPOTHESIS Primary arthroscopic synovectomy preserves knee function while producing low recurrence and complication rates. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively included consecutive patients with histologically documented PVNS managed with primary arthroscopic synovectomy at two centres between 1998 and 2011. Twenty-three patients, 13 men and 10 women with a mean age of 41 ± 12 years, were reviewed including 16 patients with nodular and 7 with diffuse form of this disease. Patients with localized disease underwent partial synovectomy and those with diffuse disease complete synovectomy followed by chemical synovectomy of any residual lesions. The primary outcome measure was recurrence. Secondary outcome measures were the Tegner-Lysholm and Ogilvie-Harris scores. RESULTS Follow-up data were obtained after a mean of 7 ± 4 years in 21 patients (14 with nodular and 7 with diffuse disease), of whom 2 had recurrences, after 2 and 5 years, respectively. At last follow-up, neither patient had any evidence of recurrence. The mean Tegner-Lysholm score was significantly improved (from 68 ± 10 to 90 ± 8, P=0.0004) and the mean Ogilvie-Harris score indicated excellent function (11 ± 1). DISCUSSION Primary arthroscopic synovectomy ensures satisfactory control of PVNS while preserving knee function. A full recovery remains possible even in patients with diffuse disease. In the event of a recurrence, open synovectomy can be performed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Women run a 4-8-fold greater risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear than men, and especially during the pre-ovulation stage of their cycle. The main study objective was to describe the distribution of ACL lesions according to menstrual cycle in a large population of female recreational skiers. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective study was conducted during the 2010-11 ski season on women sustaining ACL tear during skiing. Patients filled out a questionnaire during consultation with the mountain physician, including date of last menstrual period (LMP) and contraceptive method. Fifty-seven of the 229 patients with diagnosed ACL tear were excluded from analysis, 41 being post-menopausal (mean age, 47 ± 9 years), and 16 having irregular cycles or LMP>30 days. One hundred and seventy-two patients (mean age, 34 ± 8.7 years) were thus included. RESULTS Fifty-eight women (33.72%) were in follicular phase, 63 (36.63%) in ovulatory phase and 51 (29.65%) in luteal phase; difference with respect to the theoretic distribution regardless of menstrual phase was highly significant: χ(2)=48.32; P=0.00001. Fifty-three of the 172 women (30.8%) were taking oral contraceptives. ACL tear was 2.4-fold more frequent in pre-ovulatory than post-ovulatory phase, whether in women using oral or other contraceptives: 85/119 (71.4%) vs. 36/53 (67.9%); P=0.64. CONCLUSION ACL tear risk in skiing in women is not constant over the menstrual cycle, being 2.4-fold more frequent in pre-ovulatory (follicular and ovulatory) than post-ovulatory phase (luteal). Oral contraception seems not to exert any protective effect. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV. Retrospective cohort study.

Abstract
The surgical technique for repair of acute proximal hamstring tears is relatively recent. Installation of the patient is critical. The approach is either vertical under the gluteal fold in case of a complete tear with tendon retraction of more than 6 cm, or horizontal in the gluteal fold for retraction of less than 6 cm or for partial tears. After identification and neurolysis of the sciatic nerve, transosseous tendon reinsertion is performed with three or four metal or resorbable suture anchors. A rigid brace keeping the leg at 30° of flexion is worn for few days, then replaced by an articulated knee brace for 45 days, which limits extension but allows full flexion. Rehabilitation is begun early. Thirty-four patients underwent surgery for acute proximal hamstring tear and received this treatment. All of the athletic patients were able to return to their pre-injury activities after a mean 5.7 ± 1.6 months (2.3-9.3 months).

Abstract
PURPOSE Although the treatment of choice for acute proximal hamstring ruptures is now surgical repair, this technique is relatively new and requires further evaluation. Our hypothesis was that patients return to sports at the same level after surgical repair as before injury. METHODS From 2002 to 2011, a prospective observational study including 34 patients, mean age 39.3 ± 11.4 years old underwent surgical repair of an acute proximal hamstring rupture. Surgical, rehabilitation and follow-up protocols were standardized. Mean follow-up was 27.2 ± 22.9 months and there were no lost to follow-up. The primary outcome was the level of activity on the UCLA and Tegner scores. RESULTS The mean UCLA score was 9.1 ± 1.3 before injury and 8.7 ± 1.7 at the final follow-up (p = 0.03). The median Tegner activity level was 6 (range, 4-10) before injury and 6 (range, 3-10) at the final follow-up (p = 0.05). The two scores were correlated (r = 0.76, p = 0.00001). Patients returned to sports within a mean 5.7 ± 1.6 months, at the same level in 27 patients (79.4 %) and at a lower level in 7 patients (20.6 %). The average hamstring/quadriceps ratio at 240°/second was 54.7 ± 8.6 % which was positively correlated to the level of activity on the UCLA score (r = 0.49, n.s.). The level of satisfaction was related to their level of activity at the final follow-up (p = 0.03). CONCLUSION Although surgical repair of acute proximal hamstring ruptures has significantly improved the functional prognosis of patients it remains a serious condition that can compromise future sports activities. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Case-control study, Level III.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the performance of 3D-FSE-Cube MRI to arthroscopy, the reference test for the diagnosis of partial anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. METHODS A retrospective study was performed including all patients who underwent surgery for an ACL tear in our Sports Surgery Unit from January 2008 to December 2009. All patients underwent a preoperative MRI, conventional 2D or 3D-Cube. The diagnosis of a partial tear was based on the appearance of the ligament bundles and signal quality on MRI, and on the continuity of the fibers on arthroscopy and the quality of the remaining ligament. Sixty-four of the 312 included patients underwent MRI 3D-Cube and 248 conventional 2D-MRI. The series included 82 women and 223 men, mean age 33.3 ± 19.6 years. Arthroscopy did not reveal any normal ACL, 247/312 (79.2 %) complete tears, and 65/312 (20.8 %) partial tears, with 50/65 (76.9 %) involving the anteromedial bundle and 15/65 (23.1 %) the posterolateral. RESULTS The results of MRI 3D-Cube were as follows: sensitivity 95 % CI = 62.5 ± 23.7 %, specificity 95 % CI = 93.7 ± 6.9 %, likelihood ratio LR(+) = 9.9, LR(-) = 0.4 and accuracy 85.9 %. Results of conventional 2D-MRI were as follows: sensitivity 95 % CI = 10.2 ± 8.5 %, specificity 95 % CI = 96.5 ± 2.5 %, LR(+) = 2.9, LR(-) = 0.9 and accuracy 79.4 %. The diagnostic performance of MRI 3D-Cube was better than conventional 2D-MRI. CONCLUSION The diagnostic performance of MRI 3D-Cube in partial ACL tears was good and significantly better than conventional 2D-MRI. The likelihood of having a positive test was 9.9 times higher in a patient with a partial tear. A negative result did not exclude this diagnosis.
