Editorial Comment
Editorial Commentary: Three-Dimensional Printing and Stem Cells May Be a Game Changer for Recovery After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.
Placing stem cells at the tendon-bone interface of a soft tissue anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in an animal model accelerates graft incorporation at 12 weeks. A 3D-printed scaffold used to deliver the stem cells completely degraded at 12 weeks. Future clinical application of similar technology may improve outcomes after ACL reconstruction.

To compare failure rates and clinical outcomes of osteochondral allograft transplantation (OCA) in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-intact versus ACL-reconstructed knees at midterm follow-up. ⋯ Level III, retrospective comparative study.

Comparative Study
The Effect of Intra-articular Cocktail Versus Femoral Nerve Block for Patients Undergoing Hip Arthroscopy.
To compare clinical efficacy and complication rate as measured by postoperative falls and development of peripheral neuritis between intra-articular blockade and femoral nerve block in patients undergoing arthroscopic hip surgery. ⋯ Level III, retrospective comparative study.
