The use of tissue engineering for cartilage repair has emerged as a potential therapeutic option and has led to the development of Hyalograft® C, a tissue-engineered graft composed of autologous chondrocytes grown on a scaffold entirely made of HYAFF® 11, an esterified derivative of hyaluronic acid. Here we present the results of an ongoing multicenter clinical study conducted with the primary objective to investigate the subjective symptomatic, functional and health-related quality of life outcomes of patients treated with Hyalograft® C. Clinical results on the cohort of 141 patients with followup assessments ranging from 2 to 5 years (average followup time: 38 months), are reported. At followup 91.5% of patients improved according to the International Knee Documentation Committee subjective evaluation; 76% and 88% of patients had no pain and mobility problems respectively assessed by the EuroQol-EQ5D measure. Furthermore, 95.7% of the patients had their treated knee normal or nearly normal as assessed by the surgeon; cartilage repair was graded arthroscopically as normal or nearly normal in 96.4% of the scored knees; the majority of the second-look biopsies of the grafted site histologically were assessed as hyalinelike. Importantly, a very limited complication rate was recorded in this study. The positive clinical results obtained indicate that Hyalograft® C is a safe and effective therapeutic option for the treatment of articular cartilage lesions. Level of Evidence: Therapeutic study, Level III-2 (retrospective cohort study). See the Guidelines for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

The localized form of pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a rare pathological entity characterized by a limited involvement of the synovium. The knee is most commonly affected. In the knee joint, the disorder generally presents as a nodular, pedunculated lesion protruding into the articular cavity. The lesion is usually revealed by mechanical symptoms such as locking. We report on two cases of localized PVNS that involved the patellar fat pad, an extremely rare area of involvement. Mechanical symptoms were not present. In one case, the lesion reached considerable dimensions without interfering with joint function. Arthroscopic treatment was easily performed. No recurrence was observed at 1-year follow up.

The results of 50 arthroscopic lateral releases are reported. The average follow-up period was 36 months with a range of 18-52 months. Satisfactory results were achieved in 71% of 21 patients with patellar pain alone and in 76% of those (Betz RR, Lonergan R, Patterson R. The percutaneous lateral retinacular release Orthopaedics 1982;5:57-62) with instability. Patients with patellofemoral osteoarthritis or patellar dislocation were excluded from the series. Postoperative hemarthrosis occurred in 10%. Unsatisfactory results could be related to incomplete release, severe chondromalacia, or insufficient rehabilitation. Lateral release is capable of producing high rates of success with a low incidence of complication when used to treat patellar pain with tight retinaculum, patellar instability, and subluxation.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate, through three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT), the accuracy of femoral tunnel positioning in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, comparing transtibial (TT) and anteromedial (AM) techniques. Methods We evaluated postoperative 3D-CT scans of 26 patients treated with ACL reconstruction with hamstrings autograft using a low accessory AM portal technique and 26 treated with the TT technique. The position of the femoral tunnel center was measured with the quadrant method. Results Using quadrant method on CT scans, femoral tunnels were measured at a mean of 32.2 and 28.1% from the proximal condylar surface (parallel to Blumensaat line) and at a mean of 31.2 and 15.1% from the notch roof (perpendicular to Blumensaat line) for the AM and TT techniques, respectively. Conclusion The AM portal technique provides more anatomical graft placement than TT techniques. Level of Evidence Level I, randomized clinical study.
