Outcomes After Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Suture Tape Augmentation and an Accelerated Rehabilitation Protocol: A Retrospective Cohort Study (02/25)
Abstract/Background: Although posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction is often performed for grade 3 PCL injuries, the effectiveness of different surgical techniques and rehabilitation protocols is a topic of debate. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare functional outcomes and residual instability in patients who underwent PCL reconstruction with versus without suture…
Read MoreThe Modified Broström Procedure with Suture-Tape Augmentation for Chronic Lateral Ankle Instability (03/25)
Background/Objectives: As a representative anatomic ankle ligament repair technique, the Broström procedure continues to be modified to reach better clinical outcomes, superior mechanical stability, early rehabilitation, and minimal risk of recurrent instability. This study aimed to evaluate the intermediate-term clinical outcomes after the modified Broström procedure (MBP) with suture-tape augmentation for chronic lateral ankle instability.…
Read MoreApplication of internal brace ligament augmentation technique in knee ligament injury: a systematic review (09/25)
Abstract/Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common and can lead to significant knee instability and an increased risk of long-term cartilage damage. Given the emerging role of internal brace ligament augmentation (IBLA) in treating these injuries, this systematic review aimed to evaluate the collective evidence on the safety and effectiveness of IBLA in patients…
Read MoreArthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair With Double-Bundle Suture Tape Augmentation for Large and Massive Tears (07/25)
Abstract: Advancements in arthroscopic techniques have improved the management of large and massive rotator cuff tears, but the failure rate remains high. Nonabsorbable high-strength suture tape is widely used in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and lateral ankle ligament repair to enhance the biomechanical strength of graft and ligament, thereby helping to reduce the risk of…
Read MoreSynthetic augmentation in ACL reconstruction may reduce re-rupture rates and increase return-to-sport rates: A systematic review and meta-analysis (04/25)
Abstract/Purpose: Synthetic augmentation (SA) in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) aims to enhance graft durability, but its benefits remain unclear. To evaluate whether SA in ACLR improves return-to-sport (RTS) rates, reduces graft failure, enhances patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and varies in effectiveness across materials and techniques.

Read MoreInjury chronicity does not affect outcomes following ligament repair with suture tape augmentation for post-traumatic elbow instability (12/25)
Abstract/Hypothesis – Repair and augmentation techniques have been successfully applied in the treatment of acute ligament injuries causing elbow instability. This study evaluates whether the chronicity of elbow instability affects postoperative outcomes following ligament repair with augmentation using suture tape internal bracing. Read Paper Online
Read MoreReturn to Sport Following ACL Repair: A Systematic Review (01/26)
Abstract: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are among the most common sports-related knee injuries, affecting athletes across varying levels of competition. ACL repair procedures have become a popular treatment option to repair these lesions. There is a need for a comprehensive analysis of recent studies among a growing body of literature to better understand return…
Read MoreSuture Tape Augmentation of Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Shows Improved Biomechanical Stability With Equivalent Outcome and Complication Rates: A Scoping Review (03/25)
Abstract/Purpose: To assess the current literature surrounding suture tape augmentation (STA) of posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (PCLR) with additional evaluation of PCLR+STA in clinical practice. Methods A systematic search of 3 databases (PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science Core Collection) was performed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and was…
Read MoreSuture tape augmentation in the management of anterior cruciate ligament ruptures: a systematic review and meta-analysis (05/25)
Abstract/Background: The employment of suture tape augmentation (SA) in surgical interventions for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures is a subject of ongoing debate. This meta-analysis synthesizes prior research to assess the effectiveness of additional SA in treating ACL tears. Read Paper Online
Read MoreFunctional Outcomes Following Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR) With and Without Internal Bracing: A Prospective Study (12/25)
Abstract/Background and objective – Internal bracing (IB) is a relatively new technique in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), proposed to improve graft protection during early healing. This study aimed to compare functional outcomes of ACLR with and without IB. Read Paper Online
