“…Sex and the side of the knee do not affect the infection [6,[13][14][15][16], as shown in our sample. The fact that men dominate in our study sample only shows that males are more prone to ACL injuries so they are operated three to eight times more frequently than females [2,4,22].…”

“…The percentage of these successfully performed surgeries is very high, between 80-90% [3][4][5][6]; however, the number of postoperative complications is getting higher with the increasing number of reconstructions. Septic arthritis of the knee is a rare complication after arthroscopic ACL reconstruction.…”

The following population groups are at risk of developing septic arthritis after anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions: professional athletes, those who are allergic to penicillin, and those with immunosuppressive diseases. Staphyllococus aureus is the most common cause of infection. The patients with the hamstring autografts have a higher risk than those with the patellar tendon grafts. Preventive measures that should be performed include aseptic conditions in operative rooms, irrigation of the graft before its placement into the bone tunnels, experience of surgeon and proper antibiotics.

Discoid lateral meniscus of the knee causes a high morbidity in China. Since the traditional treatment to open the capsule and resect the meniscus often results in arthritis, it is now believed that a discoid lateral meniscus should be treated with arthroscopy to preserve part of the meniscus. The current study aimed to investigate the short-term clinical outcomes of arthroscopic meniscectomy for the treatment of discoid lateral meniscus tears. In the present study, we diagnosed and treated 42 patients (47 knees) with discoid lateral meniscus tears using arthroscopy between February, 2007 and December, 2010. Thirty-seven knees received partial resection of the discoid meniscus, 8 received hypo-complete resection and 2 received complete resection. Thirty-nine of the patients were followed up for a mean of 21 months (ranging from 9 to 53 months). The Lysholm scoring system was used to assess the knee function prior to surgery and during the follow-up. The results were analyzed using a Student’s t-test with SPSS 12.0. Our study showed that patients with treated knees returned to normal activities within 4–6 weeks, and knee functions were more improved at 9 months after operation than 3 months, as measured by the Lysholm score (P<0.05). Arthroscopic meniscectomy is an effective treatment for discoid menisci resulting in minimal invasion, quick recovery and early functional exercise. The use of arthroscopy during surgery aids to preserve the meniscus and to reduce stress, therefore, having a beneficial effect on short-term clinical outcomes.

“…The most frequent injuries are injuries of the knee ligaments, especially of the anterior cruciate ligament (Ligamentum cruciatum anterius -LCA). Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) maintains the stability of the knee and prevents anterior sliding of the tibia relative to femur thus contributing to normal function of the knee [2,3] Injuries of the anteSažetak Uvod.

This study has shown that the overall life quality a year after the reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament does not differ in relation to either the gender of the subjects or the type of sports activity, while the level of sports activity does have some influence on the quality of life. Professional athletes have proved to train significantly more intensively after this reconstruction than those going in for sports recreationally.

Reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament by using two different techniques

Abstract: The choice of graft is a less important factor in the reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament than its placing, tensioning and fixation, because a significant difference between groups was recorded only by the International Knee Documentation Committee standard.
