“…Ligamentous instability during clinical examination is rare in these injuries, however few studies have a long follow-up (mean follow-up 7 months) and progressive instability may be an issue in these injuries. Some authors advise operative repair of isolated popliteus tendon avulsions without further mentioning instability or presence of a fragment [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] . Others advise conservative treatment if no instability is present [17][18][19] .…”

The popliteus tendon is an important part of the posterolateral corner of the knee. Isolated injuries to the posterolateral corner are very rare, as most injuries occur in multiligamentous knee trauma. Purely isolated popliteus tendon injuries are even more rare. There is very little evidence for treatment of isolated popliteus tendon avulsion injuries. The aim of this systematic review is to report on all publications regarding isolated popliteus tendon avulsion injuries and hopefully provide some guidance for future treatment algorithms. A systematic review of the literature was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Studies were included if they documented isolated popliteus tendon avulsion injuries. Exclusion criteria were studies with popliteus injuries in combination with other knee ligamentous injuries and popliteus tendon injuries other than femoral avulsion injuries. Twenty-eight studies were included which mentioned in total 38 patients with isolated popliteus tendon avulsion injuries. 24 patients (63%) were treated operatively. 3 (8%) patients were diagnosed arthroscopically but did not receive any surgical treatment. 9 patients (24%) were treated conservatively. In two publications, there was no mention of treatment. We found no clear recommendations in the literature for treatment of this rare injury.

Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles in Tendon and Ligament Repair—A Systematic Review of In Vivo Studies

Tendon and ligament injury poses an increasingly large burden to society. This systematic review explores whether mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EVs) can facilitate tendon/ligament repair in vivo. On 26 May 2021, a systematic search was performed on PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, to identify all studies that utilised MSC-EVs for tendon/ligament healing. Studies administering EVs isolated from human or animal-derived MSCs into in vivo models of tendon/ligament injury were included. In vitro, ex vivo, and in silico studies were excluded, and studies without a control group were excluded. Out of 383 studies identified, 11 met the inclusion criteria. Data on isolation, the characterisation of MSCs and EVs, and the in vivo findings in in vivo models were extracted. All included studies reported better tendon/ligament repair following MSC-EV treatment, but not all found improvements in every parameter measured. Biomechanics, an important index for tendon/ligament repair, was reported by only eight studies, from which evidence linking biomechanical alterations to functional improvement was weak. Nevertheless, the studies in this review showcased the safety and efficacy of MSC-EV therapy for tendon/ligament healing, by attenuating the initial inflammatory response and accelerating tendon matrix regeneration, providing a basis for potential clinical use in tendon/ligament repair.
