The anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) extends from the anteroinferior border of the fibula to the talar neck. Primary restraint to ankle inversion in plantar‑exion. Injury (acute or chronic) can be diagnosed with physical exam, stress X-Rays, ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Purpose:
MRI abnormalities in asymptomatic individuals known in other areas of orthopaedics (shoulder and spine). Purpose of our study: determine the prevalence of ATFL abnormalities found on MRI in asymptomatic individuals. Asymptomatic individuals - those undergoing MRI for pathology unrelated to lateral ankle trauma, instability, or inversion injuries.

In modern orthopaedics, risk prediction scores can help discriminate between ideal and poor candidates for a specific therapeutic intervention. We consider these tools useful during the process of shared medical decision-making1. To our knowledge, such a strategy has never been explored in the field of hip preservation surgery.
The aim of our study is to generate a clinical decision support tool to predict risk of failure after hip preservation surgery among patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).

Introduction:
Synovial fluid analysis is an important tool in the work-up of suspected periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Yet, there is conflicting guidance for the analysis of synovial fluid aspiration, including a lack of uniform thresholds for white blood cell (WBC) count and neutrophil percentage (PMN%)1-3. Therefore, a multi-institutional study was undertaken to reassess these thresholds, compare preoperative versus intraoperative sample collection, and assess variation in results between institutions.

Introduction:
- Posterior-stabilized (PS) TKA that sacrifice the cruciate ligaments improves pain and function in patients with advanced osteoarthritis.
- Patellar crepitus appears to be due to a spectrum of peripatellar fibrosynovial formations and is usually encountered after PS-TKA, which uniquely has an intercondylar box to accept the tibial post.
- Symptoms of patellar crepitus occur most commonly during terminal knee extension and occur usually from 3 to 9 months after PS-TKA, and in some cases, this phenomenon is symptomatic enough to warrant an arthroscopic procedure or open arthrotomy.
- The development of patellar crepitus after PS-TKA appears related to many factors such as …
