  AJSM July 2026 Podcast: Association Between Preoperative Joint Line Convergence Angle and Clinical Outcomes After Isolated Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Tear Repair

  Jul 20, 202630 min

  While coronal malalignment influences outcomes after medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) repair, alignment parameters such as the hip-knee-ankle angle (HKAA) may not fully capture the biomechanical setting of the medial compartment. The joint line convergence angle (JLCA) reflects the intra-articular environment but has not been well studied as a prognostic factor after MMPRT repair. In conclusion, the preoperative JLCA was an independent predictor of clinical outcomes after isolated MMPRT repair. Incorporation of the JLCA into a preoperative assessment may improve patient counseling and risk stratification and help identify patients who could benefit from adjunctive strategies aimed at optimizing the medial compartment's biomechanical environment.

  AJSM June 2026 Podcast: Association Between Posterior Tibial Slope and Graft Survival in High-Risk Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Lateral Extra-articular Tenodesis

  Jun 12, 202627 min

  Posterior tibial slope (PTS) is a well-established anatomic risk factor for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft failure. Lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) is increasingly used as an adjunctive procedure in high-risk patients to reduce rerupture rates; however, how its protective effect varies across the continuum of slope values remains insufficiently characterized. In conclusion, PTS was independently associated with graft failure in both groups. Although LET was associated with lower failure probabilities within a moderate slope range, increasing PTS values were linked to a progressively higher risk of reruptures in both groups. The association between a steeper slope and failure observed in the ACLR with LET group suggests that an elevated PTS may attenuate the relative protective effect of LET.
