Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is known to be one of the most common knee joint injuries. ACL reconstruction can be similar to the native ACL in respect of graft morphology, tension, position, and orientation. ACL reconstruction can be applied with different surgery techniques, graft and fixation devices, and rehabilitation as ACL reconstruction is just as important as surgery. Although commonly known as a sports injury, ACL injuries are increasingly seen in the general population. The aim of this study was to investigate the trends in ACL injury treatment in the last decade especially the graft choice. The abstracts of a total of 2,622 papers which stated ACL in the title were investigated through a search on the Web of Knowledge. Main topics were created as the ACL reconstruction theme. ACL reconstruction was examined in the abstracts with graft choice as the main theme followed by single bundle, double bundle, sports, rehabilitation, revision, complication, skeletally immature, biomechanics and kinematics, fixation devices, meniscus, anesthesia and pain, tunnel, cell, and intra-articular injection. Of the total 2,622 documents, 2,129 were original articles and 181 were reviews. Most of the documents, 436 in number (16.6%), were published in the , followed by the, , at 264. Of the total documents published, 36.3% were from the United States followed by 8.5% from Japan. The author with the most publications was F.H. Fu with 94 publications followed by B.R. Bach with 41 publications. The hamstring graft was most used at 187 single use and comprising 52% of the total graft combinations. Most papers were published in 2016. In 2012, single and double bundle grafts were determined to a total of 23. The most common title investigated in papers was biomechanics and kinematics with a total of 241 publications followed by rehabilitation at 208. Throughout the years of the study period, the most common graft choice was hamstring autograft. Biomechanics and kinematics was the most common title investigated as biomechanics and rehabilitation are known to be just as important as surgery for a successful outcome and patient satisfaction.

This treatment strategy can provide good local control and excellent functional and radiological results in the management of benign bone lesions of the proximal femur in children.

Complete cyst healing and satisfactory functional results can be obtained by curettage grafting and intramedullary decompression. This technique restores bone integrity by allowing early motion and prevents refracture and subsequent deformity in the majority of patients.

Functional and radiographic outcomes, in addition to complication and reoperation rates of open curettage and grafting without instrumentation or with intramedullary nailing, in the treatment of simple bone cysts (SBCs) of the humerus were compared. Thirty-seven children [25 males, 12 females; median age=9.5 years (range, 3-17 years)] with humeral SBC were treated with curettage and grafting without instrumentation (group 1, 21 patients) or with intramedullary nailing (group 2, 16 patients). The pathological fracture rate was 85.7% in group 1 and 87.5 in group 2. The follow-up duration ranged from 26 to 85 months. The average last follow-up Musculoskeletal Tumor Society functional scores for groups 1 and 2 were 28.9 and 29.5 (P>0.05). Higher, but statistically insignificant (P>0.05), complete or significant partial radiographic healing rates were achieved in group 2 (100%) compared with group 1 (76.2%). The overall complication rate of the entire study population was 21.6% (19%; 4/21 in group 1; 25%; 4/16 in group 2). The reoperation rates for groups 1 and 2 were 9.5% (2/21; one for partial cyst healing, one for recurrence) and 56.25% (9/16; one for surgical complication, eight for implant removal). Surgical intervention is indicated for selected patients with SBCs. Even though perfect functional results were possible with open curettage and grafting, continuous intramedullary decompression with elastic nails led to a higher radiographic healing rate in the treatment of humeral SBCs. Open curettage and grafting with or without intramedullary nailing was associated with a high number of complications, but the rate of reoperation for complications was very low.

A 59-year-old male patient was operated arthroscopically due to a rotator cuff tear. An early postoperative Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection was treated with early arthroscopic debridement and antibiotic therapy. The patient was lost to follow-up and presented to our clinic with Pseudomonas aeruginosa osteomyelitis after two years. Debridement was again performed and antibiotic-impregnated cement beads were filled into the cavity and taken out 6 weeks postoperatively. No findings of infection were observed at the patient's 2nd year follow-up. To our knowledge, this is the first case of Pseudomonas aeruginosa osteomyelitis of the shoulder after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.
