Abstract Tibial avulsion fractures comprise a subset of anterior cruciate ligament injuries. Primary fixation methods have traditionally used either screw or suture fixation. New anchor and suture technologies have led to the development of tensionable and retensionable techniques. These newer techniques allow for not only anatomic reduction but also further compression after reduction.

Abstract The medial patellofemoral ligament is an important patellar stabilizer and, when damaged, can lead to recurrent instability, cartilage injury, and debilitating pain among other conditions. In patients with continued patellar instability after failed nonoperative management, medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction often is recommended. A key step of the procedure is appropriate graft tensioning.
