This report is being filed after the review of the following journal article: kim, g.B., kim, k.-i., song, s.J., and lee, s.H.(2019), increased posterior tibial slope after medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy may result in degenerative changes in anterior cruciate ligament, the journal of arthroplasty, vol.34 (9), pages 1922-1928 (korea, south).The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the changes in ptsa and the acl before and after mowhto through 2-staged arthroscopic findings and verify whether the acls would be affected by the changed ptsa.Between july 2010 to march 2016, a total of 128 patients (21 male and 107 female) with 164 knees, with a mean age of 57.2 ± 5.1 years (42-67) underwent mowhto and concomitant arthroscopy.Surgery was performed using a medial locked plate system (tomofix; depuy synthes, solothurn, switzerland).Plate removal and concomitant second-look arthroscopy were usually recommended for 2 years after index operation.The mean follow-up period was 70.2 months (23-104).The following complications were reported as follows: in 5 males and 29 females (45 knees), their acl had become worse (progressed group) after the second-look arthroscopy.In a (b)(6) year old female patient, ¿stage 2¿ acl with no synovial coverage was observed at first-look arthroscopy viewed from the anterolateral standard portal.At 26 months postoperatively, the second-look arthroscopy showed ¿stage 3¿ acl with partial tear of some fibers.This report is for an unknown synthes plate/screws constructs.It captures the reported (b)(6) year old female patient who had stage 3 acl with partial tear of some fibers.This is report 3 of 3 for (b)(4).
