No. 032: November-December 2024

This month, we are honored to feature an interview with Dr. Bertrand Sonnery-Cottet, President of the French Arthroscopy Society. Having overcome a challenging early background, Dr. Sonnery-Cottet established himself as a leading authority in knee ligament reconstruction, notably through his foundational contributions to anterolateral ligament procedures. His work integrates data-driven methodology with mixed reality applications in the operative setting, with the sustained aim of reducing surgical failure in sports surgery.

The clinical articles in this issue span infection prevention, surgical access, and ligament pathology. The prophylactic role of local antibiotics in PMMA bone cement is critically examined, followed by an evaluation of the lateral subvastus approach for Total Knee Arthroplasty and its impact on postoperative recovery. Two further contributions address ACL pathology: the management of ACL intra-substance tears in growing children and teenagers, and the incidence and risk factors for arthrogenic muscle inhibition after ACL reconstruction.
