Dynamic Ultrasound Can Accurately Quantify Severity of Medial Knee Injury: A Cadaveric Study
Rohan Bhimani, MD, MBA, Miho J. Tanaka, MD, PhD, and colleagues found in a cadaveric study that measuring the medial tibiofemoral distance with portable ultrasound can accurately distinguish between stable and unstable medial collateral ligament (MCL) knee injuries.

Conventional Radiographic Landmark Not Suitable for All Reconstructions of the Medial Patellofemoral Complex
The radiographic midpoint of the medial patellofemoral complex attachment on the femur is commonly used to guide femoral tunnel placement during reconstruction. Still, Mass General researchers found the radiographic locations of the most proximal and most distal fibers can significantly differ from that landmark.

Weight-bearing CT Detects Subtle Syndesmotic Instability in Presence of Fibular Fracture
Rohan Bhimani, MD, MBA, Daniel Guss, MD, MBA, and colleagues in the Foot and Ankle Research and Innovation Laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital found that, even in the presence of a Weber B lateral malleolar ankle fracture, weight-bearing CT is still able to distinguish a stable from an unstable syndesmosis.

Sagittal Plane Fibular Motion More Accurate Than Coronal Plane Measurements for Detecting Syndesmotic Instability
Foot and ankle surgeons at Massachusetts General Hospital determined that, during the arthroscopic evaluation of the distal tibiofibular articulation, sagittal plane fibular translation is more accurate for diagnosing syndesmotic instability than coronal plane diastasis.

New Measurement Proposed for Detecting Syndesmotic Instability in 3D
Orthopedic surgeons at Massachusetts General Hospital have developed a clinically applicable, three-dimensional method of assessing syndesmotic (high ankle) instability on weight-bearing CT (WBCT) scans that measures "percentage of change," which is easier than using a numeric scale with an absolute value.
