after partial lateral meniscectomy is a rare condition that typically occurs within 12 months of the index procedure. Younger age, male sex, high-intensity sports participation, and some meniscal tear patterns (eg, radial tear) are potentially important risk factors. Return-to-sport rates at short-term follow up are high, but no long-term studies were identified. The pathogenesis of rapid chondrolysis seems to relate to mechanical focal cartilage overload.

Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) is an increasingly popular technique for the treatment of articular cartilage defects. Because several companies have financial interests in ACI, it is important to consider possible conflicts of interest when evaluating studies reporting outcomes of ACI.

To determine whether there is an association between authors' financial conflicts of interest and the outcomes of ACI studies.

Cross-sectional study.

A search of PubMed and MEDLINE databases for "autologous chondrocyte implantation" was performed. Clinical studies published after 2012 through May 15, 2019,and in English were included. Studies were determined to have financial conflicts of interest if any contributing author had relevant conflicts, either self-reported in the published study's disclosures section or reported online in the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Disclosure database or the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Open Payments database. The outcomes of each study were rated was a trend toward more favorable outcomes in studies with conflicts of interest. Additionally, nearly 20% of publications had possible conflicts found online that were not self-reported. It is critical for orthopaedic surgeons to judiciously evaluate published studies and consider financial conflicts of interest before performing ACI techniques on patients.

Favorable results were reported in a majority of studies involving ACI. No statistical association was found between the frequency of favorable outcomes and the presence of financial conflicts of interest, country of authorship, or level of evidence. There was a trend toward more favorable outcomes in studies with conflicts of interest. Additionally, nearly 20% of publications had possible conflicts found online that were not self-reported.

There is limited literature regarding outcomes after operative treatment of displaced medial epicondyle avulsion fractures in adolescent athletes. Most studies have had a relatively small sample size and have not assessed return to play of the overhead athlete.

To examine return to play and outcomes of youth overhead athletes who underwent open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with screw fixation.

Case series; Level of evidence, 4.

Charts and radiographs were queried between January 2003 and June 2018 for young overhead athletes (age, <17 years) who underwent ORIF for displaced medial epicondyle fracture. Patients with open fracture or concomitant injury were excluded. Radiographs from postoperative follow-up visits were examined for radiographic union. Eligible patients were asked to provide responses to the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Assessment Elbow questionnaire and Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic questionnaires as well as questions regarding return to play.

Overalstruction after primary ORIF of the medial epicondyle.

ORIF of displaced medial epicondyle fractures is a reliable and successful procedure in adolescent overhead athletes with high demands, with relatively low risk of major complications, reinjury, or reoperation.

The concept of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) has become widely accepted, gaining increased attention in recent years and resulting in many research achievements in this field.

The aim of this study was to determine which original articles on ACLR have been most influential in this field by identifying and analyzing the characteristics of the 100 most cited articles.

Cross-sectional study.

Articles on ACLR were identified via the Thomson ISI Web of Science database on November 30, 2019. The 100 most cited articles were identified based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data extracted from each article for the subsequent analysis included title, date of publication, total citations, average citations per year (ACY), journal name, first author, institutions, themes, level of evidence, and keywords.

The total number of citations was 29,629. The date of publication ranged from 1975 to 2015. A majority of the articles originated from the United States (58%) and were publishrends. Studies on anatomic reconstruction and biomechanics might be areas of future trends.

Although many studies have examined allograft extrusion after medial meniscal allograft transplant (MMAT), it is unclear whether allograft extrusion progresses at midterm follow-up.

After MMAT, allograft extrusion would not progress during the midterm follow-up period.

Case series; Level of evidence, 4.

A total of 30 patients who underwent MMAT between December 1996 and March 2016 were enrolled. Allograft extrusion was measured on magnetic resonance imaging scans obtained at 6 weeks, 1 year, and 3 to 7 years postoperatively. In the coronal plane, the absolute allograft extrusion and relative percentage of extrusion were measured. D-Cycloserine chemical structure In the sagittal plane, the absolute and relative anterior cartilage meniscal distance and posterior cartilage meniscal distance were measured. The joint-space width (JSW) on radiographic Rosenberg view was measured at 3 time points. The axial alignment was measured preoperatively and at the midterm follow-up.

In the coronal plane, there were no significant differences in ab both).

Allograft extrusion did not progress until 1 year after MMAT; however, by midterm follow-up, extrusion had progressed in both the coronal and the sagittal planes. Preoperative axial alignment showed a positive correlation with allograft extrusion in the coronal plane.
