Anatomic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with quadriceps tendon autograft.
TL;DR: A multitude of graft options exist including both allograft and autograft sources for reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament, and the quadriceps tendon is an excellent biomechanical and biologic option.
In situ force in the anterior cruciate ligament, the lateral collateral ligament, and the anterolateral capsule complex during a simulated pivot shift test.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the ACL is the primary rotatory stabilizer at lowflexion angles during a simulated pivot shift test in the intact knee, but the anterolateral capsule plays an important secondary role at flexion angles greater than 60°.
A Prospective Study of Kitesurfing Injuries
TL;DR: Kitesurfing can be considered a high-risk sport and the use of a quick-release system that enables the surfers to detach the kite in case of an accident might aid in the prevention of injuries.

TL;DR: A large survey-based study on anatomic ACL reconstruction resulted in the development of the Anatomic ACL Reconstruction Checklist, a validated checklist that underwent preliminary testing for internal consistency, intertester reliability, and validity.
