Coronal-plane deformities of the knee are prevalent skeletal abnormalities in the adolescent population. Although valgus alignment is observed less frequently than varus alignment, it predisposes patients to several pathologic sequelae, including cartilage lesions, as well as degenerative changes within the lateral compartment leading to osteoarthritis, lateral patellofemoral joint instability, and attenuation of the medial collateral ligament. The current literature describes multiple modalities for distal femoral osteotomy such as lateral opening-wedge, medial closing-wedge, dome, wedge-less spike, and wedge-less V osteotomy techniques.

A variety of surgical techniques have been described for managing bursal-sided partial-thickness rotator cuff tears (PTRCTs). A key consideration when treating these lesions is whether to complete the tear or to preserve the remaining intact fibers. Accordingly, current surgical strategies for bursal-sided PTRCTs include in situ and tear completion repair; each approach has its own limitations. We describe a nondisruptive full-thickness double-row repair technique, which captures the full thickness of the rotator cuff tendon while minimizing disruption to the preserved articular surface fibers. After full-thickness passage of the anchor sutures through the intact tendon assisted with a spinal needle, lateral-row fixation is achieved with a down-pressing anchor. This technique aims to enhance tendon healing and maximize restoration of the native tendon to its anatomic footprint in patients with bursal-sided PTRCTs.

Proximal hamstring avulsions, often seen in active adults, result from high-energy eccentric loading during hip flexion with knee extension. Open repair remains the gold standard, allowing direct visualization and sciatic nerve protection. Low-profile all-suture anchors have emerged as an alternative to traditional metal or PEEK (polyether ether ketone) devices. This technical note describes a reproducible technique using 3 Q-Fix all-suture anchors (Smith & Nephew, London, England) in a triangular tension-slide configuration. This construct offers strong anatomic fixation with minimal implant burden and reduced bone loss. It is particularly advantageous in cases of tendon retraction or poor tissue quality and is broadly adaptable, including for high-demand populations.

Osteochondritis dissecans of the adult knee may result in unstable lesions that cause pain and mechanical symptoms. These often require surgery due to the failure of conservative management. Surgical techniques aim to retain the fragment where possible. Mosaicplasty for in situ fixation provides mechanical stability and a biological stimulus without the need for additional hardware. This all-arthroscopic technique uses osteochondral autograft plugs harvested from a nonweightbearing part of the knee to bridge through the lesion into the subchondral bone. Graft diameter and length can be tailored to the lesion and patient. Postoperatively, patients commence early range-of-motion exercises and follow a graduated weightbearing protocol.

Chronic and recurrent patellar instability frequently is associated with trochlear dysplasia, lateral retinacular tightness, and medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) insufficiency. Combined surgical correction addressing all pathologic factors is critical to restoring patellar stability. This Technical Note presents a detailed and reproducible surgical technique combining deepening trochleaplasty, lateral retinacular lengthening, and MPFL reconstruction using a quadriceps tendon autograft. Trochleaplasty is performed using a thin-flap technique to create a new, stable trochlear groove. Lateral retinacular lengthening is carried out via a stepwise Z-plasty, and an anatomic MPFL reconstruction is accomplished with a partial-thickness quadriceps tendon graft without patellar bone tunnels. This comprehensive approach aims to restore patellar tracking, reduce pain, and prevent recurrent dislocations. The described technique offers a systematic strategy for treating complex patellar instability while preserving joint congruency and minimizing complications.

We describe an arthroscopic technique utilizing the long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) for U-fold reconstruction of the upper articular capsule in treating irreparable massive rotator cuff tears. For patients with irreparable massive rotator cuff tears but intact LHBT, the U-fold LHBT is further sutured to the retracted rotator cuff tissues to achieve bridging. This technique aims to reinforce the superior capsular constraint and facilitate integration with the remaining rotator cuff tissue. It emphasizes graft preparation and fixation without the need for additional biomaterials, offering a potential alternative in the surgical treatment of irreparable massive rotator cuff defects.

The arthroscopic reconstruction of the rotator cuff is currently regarded as the gold standard when a complete tendon rupture occurs. However, many studies have shown different failure rates after repair. We present a technique for a full-thickness acellular dermal matrix augmentation for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Augmentation with allografts has been shown to improve the initial strength of the reconstruction and support the healing and remodeling, which in turn reduces the risk of failure. This technique could potentially benefit patients functionally.

Medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries are among the most common ligamentous injuries of the knee. Although most MCL injuries have favorable outcomes with conservative treatment, surgical intervention may be considered in cases of chronic instability or in conjunction with injuries to other knee structures, such as the anterior cruciate ligament or meniscus. In this Technical Note, we describe a minimally invasive arthroscopic-assisted technique for femoral-sided MCL repair using an inside-out suture method with suture anchor fixation and internal bracing using FiberTape. This technique offers biomechanical support, proprioceptive preservation, and reduced soft-tissue trauma. Although early results are promising, further long-term studies are warranted to assess durability, clinical outcomes, and potential complications.

The all-inside anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction technique has gained popularity because of its ability to preserve bone stock, accommodate shorter graft lengths, and reduce postoperative pain. Traditionally, this technique uses metallic cortical suspensory buttons for graft fixation, which are reliable but may cause soft-tissue irritation and hardware prominence. A recent modification to traditional all-inside suspensory fixation uses all-suture cortical buttons, eliminating the need for metallic or screw-based implants while maintaining secure fixation. This Technical Note describes an all-inside anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction technique that uses an all–soft tissue quadriceps tendon autograft, secured with only suture-based buttons (no metal, no plastic) on both the femoral and tibial sides.

Current suturing techniques used in meniscal allograft transplantation pose risks of damaging blood vessels and nerves, and they conflict with patients’ esthetic needs, impacting the prognosis of the graft and patient satisfaction. This article introduces an all-inside all-suture technique for suturing and securing grafts during meniscal allograft transplantation procedures. This technique offers a more physiological alignment and fixation for the graft and joint capsule, ensuring graft stability while significantly reducing the risk of vascular and neural injuries in the knee joint and postoperative complications. Additionally, it eliminates the need for extra safety incisions, improving postoperative esthetics and patient satisfaction.
