Purpose

To evaluate whether a high lateral distal femoral angle (LDFA) contributes to undercorrection of lower-limb alignment following medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO), and to determine the LDFA threshold above which tibial correction alone may be insufficient.

Methods

This retrospective study analysed 68 patients who underwent MOWHTO at our hospital between 2020 and 2022. Based on their postoperative mechanical axis (MA), patients were categorised into two groups: the acceptable correction group (A-group; MA 57%–67%) and the undercorrection group (U-group; MA ≤ 56%). Radiographic parameters before and after surgery were compared between the two groups. Simple and multiple regression analyses were used to identify factors affecting postoperative MA. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was utilised to identify the LDFA cut-off value associated with undercorrection.

Results

A total of 54 patients met the inclusion criteria (A-group, n = 35; U-group, n = 19). The U-group demonstrated a significantly higher preoperative mechanical LDFA (89.5° vs. 87.6°, p = 0.001) and a lower medial proximal tibial angle (mMPTA) (84° vs. 86°, p = 0.014) than that in the A-group. Both mLDFA (p = 0.006) and mMPTA (p = 0.010) were independent predictors of postoperative MA in multiple regression analysis. The ROC analysis identified an LDFA cut-off of 89.2° for predicting undercorrection (area under the curve = 0.78; sensitivity, 36.8%; specificity, 88.6%). Patients with an LDFA ≥ 89.2° had significantly higher body mass index, joint line convergence angle, varus stress angle, percentage condylar tibial translation and preoperative knee joint line obliquity.

Conclusions

A high LDFA (≥89.2°) is associated with an increased risk of undercorrection after MOWHTO, despite accurate tibial correction. These findings suggest that in cases with significant distal femoral varus, isolated tibial osteotomy may be insufficient. Double-level osteotomy, including femoral correction, should be considered in such cases to achieve optimal alignment.

目的：评估高外侧股骨远端角（LDFA）是否会导致内侧开楔形胫骨高位截骨（MOWHTO）后下肢对齐矫正不足，并确定LDFA阈值，超过该阈值仅胫骨矫正可能不够。方法：回顾性分析2020年至2022年在我院接受MOWHTO治疗的68例患者。根据术后机械轴（MA）将患者分为可接受矫正组（a组，MA 57% ~ 67%）和欠矫正组（u组，MA≤56%）。比较两组患者术前、术后影像学指标。采用简单和多元回归分析确定影响术后MA的因素。采用受试者工作特征（ROC）曲线确定与校正不足相关的LDFA截止值。结果：54例患者符合纳入标准（A组，n = 35； u组，n = 19）。u组术前机械LDFA（89.5°vs. 87.6°，p = 0.001）和胫骨近端内侧下角（mMPTA）（84°vs. 86°，p = 0.014）明显高于a组。在多元回归分析中，mLDFA （p = 0.006）和mMPTA （p = 0.010）是术后MA的独立预测因子。ROC分析确定LDFA截断值为89.2°，预测校正不足（曲线下面积= 0.78，敏感性36.8%，特异性88.6%）。LDFA≥89.2°的患者体重指数、关节线会聚角、内翻应力角、胫骨髁移位百分比和术前膝关节线倾斜度均显著升高。结论：高LDFA（≥89.2°）与MOWHTO术后矫正不足的风险增加相关，尽管胫骨矫正准确。这些结果表明，对于股骨远端明显内翻的病例，单独的胫骨截骨术可能是不够的。在这种情况下，应考虑双节段截骨，包括股骨矫正，以达到最佳对齐。证据等级：Ⅳ级，回顾性比较研究。

Purpose

The primary aim was to study the impact of joint line obliquity (JLO) on clinical outcomes and survivorship in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) after a previous high tibial osteotomy (HTO). The secondary aim was to study how maintaining neutral JLO at both HTO and TKA affected clinical outcomes of TKA.

Methods

A retrospective review of patients undergoing TKA following valgus-producing HTO, having a minimum 1-year follow-up, was performed. Using the coronal plane alignment of the knee (CPAK) classification, three groups of JLO were formed: distal JLO (<177°), neutral JLO (177–183°) and proximal JLO (>183°). Clinical outcomes were assessed using the Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). The level of significance was 0.05.

Results

The study included 110 TKA (mean follow-up: 5.8 years). Prevalence of a proximal JLO post-TKA was higher (p < 0.05) in those with a proximal JLO pre-TKA (40%) as compared to those with a neutral JLO pre-TKA (13%). The odds ratio of having a proximal JLO post-TKA was 4 (95% confidence interval: 1.4–11.1, p < 0.05) in those having a proximal JLO pre-TKA. Revision rate in the proximal JLO post-TKA, neutral JLO post-TKA and distal JLO post-TKA groups was 20%, 8% and 4% respectively, with no statistical difference (p > 0.05). Post-TKA, the stiffness, function and total WOMAC were significantly better (p < 0.05) in patients with a neutral JLO pre-TKA and neutral JLO post-TKA as compared to those with a proximal JLO pre-TKA and proximal JLO post-TKA or a proximal JLO pre-TKA and neutral JLO post-TKA.

Conclusion

While a proximal JLO after conversion TKA did not show a statistically higher revision rate, maintaining a neutral JLO during HTO and at the time of subsequent TKA was associated with higher post-operative clinical scores. However, further research in different and larger populations is needed to confirm these findings.

目的：主要目的是研究关节线倾角（JLO）对先前高位胫骨截骨（HTO）术后接受全膝关节置换术（TKA）患者的临床结果和生存率的影响。次要目的是研究在HTO和TKA维持中性JLO如何影响TKA的临床结果。方法：回顾性分析发生外翻的HTO后接受TKA的患者，随访至少1年。采用膝关节冠状面排列（CPAK）分类，形成三组JLO：远端JLO（183°）。临床结果评估使用西安大略和麦克马斯特大学骨关节炎指数（WOMAC）。显著性水平为0.05。结果：共纳入110例TKA（平均随访时间：5.8年）。tka后近端JLO患病率较高（p < 0.05）。结论：虽然转换TKA后的近端JLO没有统计学上更高的翻修率，但在HTO期间和随后的TKA期间保持中性JLO与更高的术后临床评分相关。然而，需要在不同和更大的人群中进行进一步的研究来证实这些发现。证据等级：四级。

Purpose

To assess the mid- to long-term clinical and functional outcomes and return to sports following derotational distal femoral osteotomy (DDFO) for the treatment of recurrent patellofemoral instability and associated increased femoral antetorsion.

Methods

Patients who underwent DDFO as well as concomitant procedures between 2007 and 2016 were eligible for inclusion. Recurrent instability, complications, revision surgery and return to sports rates were evaluated after a minimum follow-up of 5 years. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis was performed for the risk of recurrent instability or undergoing further surgery other than hardware removal. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs; Visual Analog Scale [VAS] for pain, Tegner Activity Scale [TAS], Kujala score, Banff Patellofemoral Instability Instrument [BPII] 2.0 and Patellofemoral Instability-Return to Sport after Injury [PFI-RSI] scale) were recorded.

Results

Of 44 knees in 42 patients eligible for inclusion, 25 knees in 24 patients (64% female) with a mean age of 27.3 ± 9.0 years at the time of surgery were available for follow-up at a mean of 8.7 ± 2.7 years (follow-up: 57%). Two patients (5%) underwent early revision surgery due to loss of osteosynthesis at the distal femur. Three patients (12%) reported subjective recurrent instability at a median of 3.9 (3.5–7.0) years post-operatively. The Kaplan–Meier estimator showed a survival probability free of recurrent instability and revision (except hardware removal) of 87% (95%-confidence interval 76%–100%) at 5 years. At final follow-up, patients reported good knee function (Kujala score: 78.5 ± 16.6), knee-related quality of life (BPII: 68.3 ± 22.3), psychological readiness to return to sport (PFI-RSI: 73.3 [43.8–90.0]), and moderate activity levels (TAS: 4.0 [3.0–4.0]). The majority of patients returned to sports (84%).

Conclusion

DDFO provided effective treatment for recurrent patellofemoral instability associated with increased femoral antetorsion. Favourable clinical and functional outcomes as well as high return to sport rates were observed at a mid- to long-term follow-up.

Purpose

Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has emerged as a reliable strategy to improve surgical accuracy and enable functional alignment (FA), also referred to as functional knee positioning (FKP). However, its application in patients with major coronal plane deformities remains under-investigated. This study aimed to evaluate complication rates, implant survival, radiographic outcomes and patient-reported measures in patients with severe deformities undergoing robotic-assisted TKA with FA/FKP principles compared to matched controls.

Methods

A retrospective comparative study was conducted on patients who underwent robotic-assisted TKA between March 2021 and February 2023 at a single high-volume centre. Patients with ≥15° varus or ≥10° valgus deformity were included in the study group and matched 1:1 with controls presenting neutral alignment. All procedures used the Mako robotic-arm-assisted system with standardised FA/FKP principles. Clinical outcomes included knee society score (KSS), forgotten joint score (FJS-12), Kujala anterior knee pain scale (AKPS) and range of motion. Radiographic measurements and robotic data were assessed. Complications, reoperations and revision rates were analysed.

Results

Eighty-eight patients (44 per group) were analysed, with a mean follow-up of 2.8 ± 0.9 years. Complication and revision rates were comparable between groups (revision: 2.3% vs. 0%, p = 0.987). Patients with major deformities achieved higher FJS-12 scores (83.9 ± 20.2 vs. 74.9 ± 19.0, p = 0.040), although the difference did not exceed the minimal clinically important difference (MCID = 9.9). Postoperative mHKA was less neutral in the deformity group (176.8° ± 4.7 vs. 180.0° ± 3.0, p = 0.002), without adverse impact on implant survival.

Conclusions

Robotic-assisted TKA performed with FA/FKP principles appears to be a feasible option for patients with severe varus or valgus deformities. Despite residual alignment variability, complication and revision rates remained comparable to standard cases, and patient-reported outcomes suggested greater perceived functional improvement.

目的：机器人辅助全膝关节置换术（TKA）已成为提高手术准确性和实现功能对齐（FA）的可靠策略，也称为功能性膝关节定位（FKP）。然而，其在严重冠状面畸形患者中的应用仍有待研究。本研究旨在评估与匹配对照组相比，采用FA/FKP原理进行机器人辅助TKA的严重畸形患者的并发症发生率、种植体存活率、放射学结果和患者报告的措施。方法：对2021年3月至2023年2月在单个高容量中心接受机器人辅助TKA的患者进行回顾性比较研究。≥15°内翻或≥10°外翻畸形的患者被纳入研究组，并与中性对齐的对照组1:1匹配。所有程序均使用具有标准化FA/FKP原理的Mako机械臂辅助系统。临床结果包括膝关节社会评分（KSS）、遗忘关节评分（FJS-12）、Kujala膝关节前痛量表（AKPS）和活动度。评估放射测量和机器人数据。分析并发症、再手术及翻修率。结果：共分析88例患者（每组44例），平均随访2.8±0.9年。两组间并发症和翻修率具有可比性（翻修率：2.3% vs. 0%, p = 0.987）。重度畸形患者FJS-12评分较高（83.9±20.2比74.9±19.0,p = 0.040），但差异未超过最小临床重要差异（MCID = 9.9）。畸形组术后mHKA中性度较低（176.8°±4.7比180.0°±3.0,p = 0.002），对种植体存活无不良影响。结论：采用FA/FKP原则的机器人辅助TKA似乎是严重内翻或外翻畸形患者的可行选择。尽管存在残留的对齐变异性，并发症和翻修率仍与标准病例相当，患者报告的结果显示更大的感知功能改善。证据等级：三级。

Purpose

This study introduces the posterior tibial plateau offset (PTO). It was hypothesised that (1) the PTO is reliably quantifiable and (2) correlates with the posterior tibial slope (PTS).

Methods

The study involved lateral radiographs of patients who sustained an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft failure and a control group. Exclusion criteria were skeletal immaturity, osteoarthritis (Kellgren and Lawrence grade > I), lateral radiographs with <15 cm of tibial shaft, or malrotated radiographs. The PTS was measured in both groups. The PTO was defined as the relative distance from the posterior tibial plateau to the tibial shaft axis in relation to the sagittal diameter of the tibial plateau (in%). Linear correlation assessed the PTS to PTO association.

Results

A total of 146 patients (ACL graft failure, n = 103; control group, n = 43; 45% female, 60% left knees) were included. Mean overall PTO was 82% ± 7% (1%–35%), and mean PTS was 12° ± 3 (7–20). The PTS and PTO showed a moderate positive correlation in the overall collective (r = 0.5; p < 0.001), ACL graft failure group (r = 0.49; p < 0.001), and control group (r = 0.69; p < 0.001), indicating a higher slope corresponded to a greater PTO. There was no statistical difference in PTO between the ACL failure and the control group (82% vs. 83%, p < 0.05). ICC between three raters was (0.8–0.9; p < 0.05).

Conclusion

The PTO is a simple and repeatable measurement. A higher PTS is associated with a greater PTO, and the variability of the PTO across the patients with ACL graft failure and the control group was high. When planning osteotomy levels in the highly sloped proximal tibia, the PTO may be considered to optimise individualised planning for patients with failed ACL reconstruction.

目的：本研究介绍胫骨后平台偏移（PTO）。假设：(1)PTO是可靠的可量化的，(2)与胫骨后斜率（PTS）相关。方法：研究包括前交叉韧带（ACL）移植失败患者和对照组的侧位x线片。排除标准为骨骼不成熟、骨关节炎（Kellgren和Lawrence分级> I）、侧位x线片。结果：共纳入146例患者（ACL移植物失败，n = 103；对照组，n = 43；女性45%，左膝60%）。平均总PTO为82%±7%(1%-35%)，平均PTS为12°±3（7-20）。PTS与PTO在总体上呈中度正相关（r = 0.5; p r = 0.49; p r = 0.69; p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p p）结论：PTO是一种简单、可重复的测量方法。较高的PTS与较高的PTO相关，前交叉韧带移植失败患者和对照组的PTO差异很大。当规划胫骨近端高度倾斜的截骨水平时，PTO可以考虑为ACL重建失败的患者优化个体化计划。证据等级：V级。

Purpose

Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is a widely used treatment for isolated compartmental knee osteoarthritis, especially in younger and more active patients. Return to sport (RTS) has become a key postoperative outcome. While RTS after UKA is generally favourable, the influence of factors such as implant design, surgical technique, compartment treated and patient characteristics remains unclear. An updated and granular synthesis is needed, particularly to allow direct comparison with RTS outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Methods

A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted following PRISMA guidelines and registered on PROSPERO. PubMed, Embase and Scopus were searched for studies from 2016 to April 2025 reporting RTS outcomes after UKA. Two reviewers independently screened articles, extracted data and assessed methodological quality using the modified Coleman Methodology Score. Weighted means and proportions were calculated, and correlation analyses explored associations between RTS and patient and surgical variables.

Results

Thirteen studies (n = 1675 patients) were included. The overall weighted mean RTS rate after UKA was 87.97% with a substantial proportion of patients resuming intermediate and high-impact sports. No significant differences in RTS were found between fixed-bearing and mobile-bearing implants, or between medial and lateral UKA. RTS was comparable between robotic-assisted and standard techniques. A moderate negative correlation between BMI and RTS was observed (r = −0.69, p = 0.019). Compared to TKA, UKA patients have a higher RTS rate (87.97% vs. 72%). UKA patients resumed a broader range of sports, with increased participation in intermediate- and high-impact activities.

Conclusions

UKA offers high RTS rates and supports participation in demanding physical activities. Neither implant design nor surgical technique substantially impacts RTS, whereas patient-related factors, especially BMI, are key predictors. Compared to TKA, UKA is associated with superior sport-related outcomes, underscoring its role in appropriately selected patients. These findings support shared decision-making and personalised postoperative planning.

目的：单室膝关节置换术（UKA）是一种广泛应用于孤立性室性膝骨关节炎的治疗方法，特别是在年轻和更活跃的患者中。重返运动（RTS）已成为术后的关键结果。虽然UKA后的RTS通常是有利的，但诸如植入物设计、手术技术、治疗的隔室和患者特征等因素的影响尚不清楚。需要更新和颗粒合成，特别是允许与全膝关节置换术（TKA）后的RTS结果直接比较。方法：按照PRISMA指南进行系统评价和荟萃分析，并在PROSPERO上注册。检索了PubMed、Embase和Scopus从2016年到2025年4月报告UKA后RTS结果的研究。两位审稿人独立筛选文章，提取数据并使用改进的Coleman方法学评分评估方法学质量。计算加权平均值和比例，并进行相关分析，探讨RTS与患者和手术变量之间的关系。结果：纳入13项研究（n = 1675例患者）。UKA后的总体加权平均RTS率为87.97%，有相当比例的患者恢复中、高强度运动。固定轴承和移动轴承植入物之间，或内侧和外侧UKA之间的RTS无显著差异。RTS在机器人辅助和标准技术之间具有可比性。BMI与RTS呈中度负相关（r = -0.69, p = 0.019）。与TKA相比，UKA患者的RTS率更高（87.97% vs. 72%）。UKA患者恢复了更广泛的运动，更多地参与了中等和高强度的活动。结论：UKA提供了高RTS率，并支持参与高要求的体育活动。植入物设计和手术技术都不会对RTS产生实质性影响，而患者相关因素，尤其是BMI，是关键的预测因素。与TKA相比，UKA与更好的运动相关结果相关，强调其在适当选择的患者中的作用。这些发现支持共同决策和个性化的术后计划。证据等级：三级。

目的：大量肩袖撕裂（MRCT）的手术治疗结果良好；然而，经常有高的复发率的报道。本研究采用慢性MRCT模型来评估微钻孔、骨髓刺激（BMS）技术和体外冲击波治疗（ESWT）对肩袖愈合的影响。我们假设BMS会比ESWT产生更好的愈合，这反映在更正常的肌腱-骨连接组织形态上。方法：以30只Sprague-Dawley大鼠的冈上、冈下肌腱为模型，建立慢性肩袖撕裂模型。四周后，采用经骨技术修复肌腱。这些动物被随机分为三组。在第一组，干预仅包括肌腱修复。在第二组中，在修复过程的不同时间点给予ESWT。在第三组中，在开始修复之前进行微钻孔。修复后4周和8周分别实施安乐死。修复后的肌腱，特别是肌腱-骨连接处，采用Bonar评分和免疫组织化学方法对CD34、骨形态发生蛋白-2 （BMP-2）、骨形态发生蛋白-7 （BMP-7）和转化生长因子-β1 （TGF-β1）进行组织形态学评估。结果：III组较低的Bonar评分与正常组织在小细胞形态、细胞外基质组成和血管性方面更接近，尽管在血管和细胞外基质组成方面有统计学意义。相比之下，II组的细胞形态出现明显的时间依赖性恶化。III组BMP-2和BMP-7表达水平升高，II组肌腱-骨交界处CD34表达增加；然而，这些没有达到统计学意义。TGF-β1的表达在各组间保持可比性。结论：在慢性MRCT大鼠模型中，BMS和ESWT生物增强对肌腱-骨愈合均有有益作用；然而，这些影响在统计学上并不显著。虽然在第三组中BMP-2、BMP-7和CD34的表达增加，但根据Bonar评分，血管功能明显改善，基质物质和整体组织学结构早期增强。ESWT组小细胞形态学的恶化突出了优化能量参数的必要性。证据级别：无。

Purpose

Medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs) disrupt the hoop stress mechanism, leading to increased meniscal extrusion and early osteoarthritis. This systematic review aims to evaluate current surgical techniques for MMPRT repair, including their biomechanical principles, technical aspects and clinical outcomes, with special attention to strategies addressing meniscal extrusion.

Methods

A systematic search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane Library using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies describing surgical techniques for MMPRT repair published in the last 20 years. Techniques were categorized into pull-out transtibial repair, suture anchor repair and all-inside repair. Augmentation procedures were also evaluated. Quality assessment was performed using the Risk of Bias In Non-randomised Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tool for comparative studies.

Results

Forty-two studies were included. Thirty studies reported on pull-out transtibial techniques, eight on suture anchor repairs and four on all-inside repair. Various fixation strategies, suture configurations and devices were described. Biomechanical evidence supports the use of suture anchors for improved cyclic loading performance. Augmentation techniques such as gracilis autografts or centralization sutures were described in select cases to reduce extrusion. Comparative studies suggest that while no single technique guarantees superior healing, suture anchor repair may offer biomechanical advantages over pull-out repairs.

Conclusion

Multiple surgical options exist for MMPRT repair, each with specific advantages and limitations. The choice of technique should consider biomechanical integrity, tissue quality and the presence of extrusion. Augmentation strategies may enhance outcomes in selected cases. Further high-quality comparative studies are needed to define the optimal surgical approach.

Level of Evidence

Level III, systematic review and meta-analysis.

目的：内侧半月板后根撕裂（MMPRTs）破坏环应力机制，导致半月板挤压增加和早期骨关节炎。本系统综述旨在评估当前MMPRT修复的手术技术，包括其生物力学原理、技术方面和临床结果，并特别关注半月板挤压的策略。方法：使用PRISMA 2020指南对PubMed、Scopus和Cochrane图书馆进行系统检索。纳入标准包括在过去20年中发表的描述MMPRT修复手术技术的研究。方法分为拔除式经胫骨修复、缝合锚定修复和全内修复。还对隆胸手术进行了评估。采用比较研究的非随机干预研究的偏倚风险（ROBINS-I）工具进行质量评估。结果：纳入42项研究。30篇关于拔除胫骨技术的研究报道，8篇关于缝合锚修复，4篇关于全内修复。描述了各种固定策略，缝线配置和设备。生物力学证据支持使用缝合锚钉改善循环加载性能。增强技术，如薄股肌自体移植物或集中缝合线被描述在选择的情况下，以减少挤压。比较研究表明，虽然没有一种技术可以保证更好的愈合，但缝合锚定修复可能比拔出修复具有生物力学优势。结论：MMPRT修复有多种手术选择，每种都有其独特的优点和局限性。技术的选择应考虑生物力学完整性、组织质量和挤压的存在。增强策略可在选定病例中增强结果。需要进一步高质量的比较研究来确定最佳的手术入路。证据等级：III级，系统评价和荟萃分析。

Purpose

No consensus exists on the optimal sterilization method for contaminated grafts during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. This study evaluated the efficacy of single and multiple sequential disinfectants in sterilizing the contaminated graft.

Methods

Thirty ACLs were harvested from 30 knees during total knee arthroplasty and sectioned into 10 semi-identical pieces (n = 300). All grafts were dropped simultaneously on the operating room floor and left for 60 s. Then, the grafts were assigned to the 10 study groups. (1) The control group used no sterilizing method, and in the other nine groups were used different sterilizing solutions: (2) 1% povidone-iodine (PI), (3) 4% chlorhexidine (CH), (4) antibiotics including vancomycin and colistin (AB), (5) thrice washings with PI, CH and AB, (6) twice washing with PI and CH, (7) twice washing with PI and AB, (8) twice washing with CH and AB, (9) once washing with normal saline, and (10) thrice washings with normal saline. A wet swab was also rubbed on the operating room floor. The researchers responsible for cultivation and culture analysis were blinded to the graft tags in the various groups.

Results

Statistical comparisons of contamination rates between groups were performed using chi-square tests for categorical data, with Fisher's exact tests for pairwise comparisons. A p value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant for individual comparisons. Twenty-nine of the 30 control grafts were positive for bacterial culture, primarily for Staphylococcus epidermidis (n = 28) and Micrococcus luteus (n = 13). Eight samples in the PI group were positive for bacteria. No bacterium was isolated in the CH group. Grafts washed once and thrice with normal saline were positive for bacteria in 13 and 8 samples, respectively.

Conclusion

This study found the 4% CH solution to be the most effective method for sterilizing autografts accidentally dropped on the operating room floor.

Level of Evidence

NA (cadaveric, animal and basic science studies).

目的：对前交叉韧带重建手术中污染移植物的最佳消毒方法尚无共识。本研究评价了单次和多次顺序消毒对受污染移植物的消毒效果。方法：在全膝关节置换术中从30个膝关节中取出30个acl，切成10个半相同的acl片（n = 300）。所有移植物同时丢弃在手术室地板上，放置60 s。然后，将移植物分配到10个研究组。(1)对照组不采用消毒方法，其余9组采用不同的消毒溶液：(2)1%聚维酮碘（PI）、(3)4%氯己定（CH）、(4)万古霉素、粘菌素（AB）抗生素、(5)PI、CH、AB清洗3次、(6)PI、CH清洗2次、(7)PI、AB清洗2次、(8)CH、AB清洗2次、(9)生理盐水清洗1次、（10）生理盐水清洗3次。一根湿棉签也在手术室地板上擦了擦。负责培养和培养分析的研究人员对不同群体的移植物标签是盲目的。结果：组间污染率的统计比较对分类数据采用卡方检验，两两比较采用Fisher精确检验。表皮葡萄球菌（n = 28）和黄体微球菌（n = 13）的p值。PI组8份样品细菌阳性。CH组未分离出细菌。用生理盐水洗涤一次和三次的移植物分别有13个和8个样本呈细菌阳性。结论：本研究发现4% CH溶液是对意外掉在手术室地板上的自体移植物进行消毒的最有效方法。证据等级：NA（尸体、动物和基础科学研究）。

Purpose

To develop a machine learning model capable of predicting the bony risk of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament injury, thereby enabling the identification of factors that contribute to such injuries.

Methods

Data were collected from 400 cases of non-contact ACL-injured and 200 ACL-intact control subjects using Computed Tomography between March 2022 and June 2025. Thirteen features, encompassing demographic, clinical, and radiomic data, as well as six different algorithms, were utilised to develop predictive machine learning models. Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) analysis was subsequently performed on the optimal model.

Results

The Maximum 2D Diameter Column values for the non-contact ACL injury group and the intact ACL group were 31.12 ± 2.92 mm (95% confidence interval [CI]: 30.83–31.40, p < 0.05) and 32.37 ± 3.07 mm (95% CI: 31.94–32.80, p < 0.05). The Extreme Gradient Boosting classifier was identified as the optimal predictive model, achieving an area under the precision–recall curve of 0.94, the highest among all models evaluated. SHAP analysis revealed that the most predictive feature was the Maximum 2D Diameter Column of the notch, defined as the largest pairwise Euclidean distance between tumour surface mesh vertices in the row-slice plane, followed by the lateral and medial posterior tibial slope.

Conclusion

The machine learning model developed in this study demonstrated excellent predictive performance for non-contact ACL injuries. The Maximum 2D Diameter Column was the most important predictor, followed by the lateral and medial posterior tibial slope.

Level of Evidence

Level III.

目的：开发一种能够预测非接触性前交叉韧带损伤骨风险的机器学习模型，从而能够识别导致此类损伤的因素。方法：收集2022年3月至2025年6月期间400例非接触性acl损伤患者和200例acl完整对照者的计算机断层扫描数据。包括人口统计、临床和放射学数据在内的13个特征，以及6种不同的算法，被用于开发预测机器学习模型。随后对最优模型进行Shapley加性解释（SHAP）分析。结果：非接触性前交叉韧带损伤组和完整前交叉韧带组的最大2D Diameter Column值为31.12±2.92 mm（95%置信区间[CI]: 30.83-31.40, p）。结论：本研究建立的机器学习模型对非接触性前交叉韧带损伤具有良好的预测性能。最大2D直径柱是最重要的预测指标，其次是胫骨后外侧和内侧斜率。证据等级：三级。
