Return to sport and knee functional scores after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: 2 to 10 years' follow-up
Conclusions The rates of return to sport after ACL reconstruction were low compared to those of other reports in the literature. Education, low income and IKDC score were predictive factors of sport re-participation. Further studies should be carried out to assess the impact on treatment indications and rehabilitation.

Evaluating different closed loop graft preparation technique for tibial suspensory fixation in ACL reconstruction using TightRope ™
Publication date: April 2018 Source:Asia-Pacific Journal of Sports Medicine, Arthroscopy, Rehabilitation and Technology, Volume 12 Author(s): Takahisa Sasho, Toshihide Sasaki, Hiroko Hoshi, Ryuichiro Akagi, Takahiro Enomoto, Yusuke Sato, Ryosuke Nakagawa, Masamichi Tahara, Satoshi Yamaguchi In most anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions, grafts are fixed to the femoral side first followed by the tibial side. Various techniques have been reported to achieve optimal tension on the grafts, but once the grafts are fixed it is difficult to adjust graft tension further. To enable post fixation tension contro...

Mucoid degeneration of the cruciate ligaments in osteoarthritis under primary total knee arthroplasty
Publication date: April 2018 Source:Asia-Pacific Journal of Sports Medicine, Arthroscopy, Rehabilitation and Technology, Volume 12 Author(s): Kohei Kawaguchi, Kazuhiko Michishita, Takeshi Manabe, Yoshiyuki Akasaka, Takahiro Arakawa, Junya Higuchi Mucoid degeneration of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) with osteoarthritis is rarely reported. We experienced two knee osteoarthritic patients who had symptomatic mucoid degeneration of their ACL, and their PCL was also diagnosed as mucoid degeneration in histological evaluation. Preoperative radiological evaluation could not reve...

Post-cam clunk syndrome after posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty as a sign of early femoral component loosening
We report a rare case of impingement of the soft tissue between the femoral intercondylar fossa and post of the polyethylene insert, which caused pain and walking disability. After the surgery for the arthroscopic removal of the soft tissue, the symptoms disappeared. However, prosthetic loosening of the femur occurred several months after the arthroscopic surgery, requiring revision surgery. We would propose to call this symptom as post-cam clunk syndrome.

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in a patient who has received systemic steroids for autoimmune disease
Conclusion The patient who had received systemic steroids for a long time recovered satisfactorily after the operation, with achievement of knee stability and possibility to prevent degenerative change in the knee joint. ACL reconstruction should be considered even in patients with such medication. (Source: Asia-Pacific Journal of Sports Medicine, Arthroscopy, Rehabilitation and Technology)

Sprint cycling training improves intermittent run performance
Conclusions Sprint cycling significantly improved intermittent run performance, VO2max and peak power output at VO2max. Sprint cycling training is suitable for intermittent sports athletes but separate speed and COD training should be included.

Use of the painDETECT questionnaire to differentiate the nature of hip pain associated with a labrum tear
This report aimed to describe the use of the painDETECT questionnaire as a screening tool in order to classify the nature of the pain in three patients who presented with pain that was atypical for a labrum tear. The painDETECT questionnaire was an effective tool to identify appropriate pain management strategies in each case.

Social psychological aspects of ACL injury prevention and rehabilitation: An integrated model for behavioral adherence
Publication date: October 2017 Source:Asia-Pacific Journal of Sports Medicine, Arthroscopy, Rehabilitation and Technology, Volume 10 Author(s): Derwin King Chung Chan, Alfred Sing Yeung Lee, Martin S. Hagger, Kam-Ming Mok, Patrick Shu-Hang Yung Managing rehabilitation for ACL injury is dependent on uptake of, and compliance with, medical and safety recommendations. In this paper, we propose a multi-theory model that integrates self-determination theory and the theory of planned behavior to identify the motivational determinants ACL injury prevention and management behaviors and the processes involved.
