-
The purpose of this systematic review is to ascertain the reported clinical outcomes and complication profiles of medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction performed using a superficial "swing-down" quadriceps tendon autograft. ⋯ Systematic review of Level III and IV studies.

Comparative Study
Body Mass Index as a Risk Factor for 30-Day Postoperative Complications in Knee, Hip, and Shoulder Arthroscopy.
To use the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database to determine whether body mass index (BMI) is associated with 30-day postoperative complications following arthroscopic surgery. ⋯ Level III, retrospective comparative study.
-
To retrospectively assess the clinical outcomes of the patients with large to massive reparable RCTs treated by arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) combined with modified superior capsule reconstruction (mSCR) using the long head of biceps tendon (LHBT) as reinforcement with a minimum of 2 years of follow-up. ⋯ Level III, retrospective therapeutic comparative trial.

Review Meta Analysis
Recurrent Patellar Dislocations Without Untreated Predisposing Factors: Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Versus Other Medial Soft-Tissue Surgical Techniques-A Meta-analysis.
To provide a direct comparison between medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction and the other medial patellofemoral soft-tissue surgeries in the restoration of the medial patellar restraint after lateral patellar dislocations in the absence of untreated predisposing factors such as high grade trochlear dysplasia, knee malalignment, patella alta or high tibial tubercle-trochlear groove distance. ⋯ Level III (meta-analysis of randomized and nonrandomized comparative trials).
-
To establish the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) and patient-acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) after arthroscopic meniscal repair and identify the factors associated with achieving these outcomes. ⋯ IV, retrospective case series.
