Quantification of scapular dyskinesis using the PIVOT app

How do you evaluate scapular dyskinesis? This study from Greece applied the PIVOT app to the shoulder and could successfully track scapular dyskinesis. Read the full study here: https://doi.org/10.1007/s00167-020-05916-7

Quadriceps tendon autograft ACL reconstruction has less pivot shift laxity and lower failure rates than hamstring tendon autografts

Authors conclude that QT autografts had less pivot shift laxity and lower failure rates based on final subject number than HT autografts. The systematic literature review and meta-analysis by Nyland et al. can be found at the link below: https://doi.org/10.1007/s00167-019-05720-y

In vivo kinematics and ligamentous function of the knee during weight-bearing flexion: an investigation on mid-range flexion of the knee

Li et. al. investigated the role of ACL and PCL during mid-range knee flexion. Interesting results might play a role in total knee arthroplasty in managing the mid-range “instability” and enhancing high flexion capability. Reach the study by Li et. al. at: https://doi.org/10.1007/s00167-019-05499-y
