Introduction
The objective of this retrospective study is to evaluate outcomes in patients who underwent the fertilized anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction procedure. We aim to investigate the return to previous level of activity, safety, and re-rupture rates of the ACL reconstruction augmented with bone marrow concentrate, demineralized bone matrix, autograft bone, and a suture tape (the fertilized ACL).
Methods
A comprehensive review of medical records was conducted for patients treated with the fertilized ACL (FACL). Medical records of all the patients who underwent reconstruction surgery between July 2018 and January 2021 were evaluated. The inclusion criteria for the study …

Pre-participation cardiac screening including electrocardiogram (ECG) is a subject of controversy among sports medicine practitioners. Opponents of pre-participation ECG screen site concerns regarding the cost and accuracy of the testing. Recently, a single lead ECG accessory has become available for use with smartphones. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the between and within rater validity and reliability of the Kardia device in recording the ECG parameters rate, rhythm, and PR, QRS, and QT intervals. The ECG parameter made with the smartphone were also compared to same measures made using a 12 lead electrocardiograph.
This investigation used a repeated …
