A torn anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) is the most common serious ligamentous injury to the knee joint. The incidence of ACL tears seems to be increasing, at least partly as a result of the increasing participation of individuals of all ages in high-risk sports. The most commonly used graft source for ACL reconstruction is the autogenous bone-patellar tendon-bone graft unit. Despite a good success record. postoperative complications, such as infection, patellar contracture/patellar baja, patellar fracture, rupture of the patellar tendon, graft failure without reinjury, can occur following ACL surgery. The purpose of this paper is to provide guidelines regarding the key points of the reconstructive procedure in a sequence and how to prevent or minimize the complications that can follow ACL reconstructive surgery. We want this knowledge can help orthopaedic surgeons to understand the reasons for previous and current successes and failures of reconstruction of the ACL, and it can help them to plan the care of patients who have an injury of the ligament.

The mechanical study on the anterior and posterior cruciate ligament(ACL, PCL) is of importance because the recent increase of outdoor and indoor activities is directly related to causing sport injuries on the knee joints. Constitutive models for many biological tissues have been known as hyperelasticitic models. The elastic behavior of ACL and PCL may be described by the free energy function which accounts for the matrix and the collagen fibers. This paper addresses a comparison of different types of the free energy function to the existing results.

The giant cell tumor of tendon sheath is very rarely present inside the knee joint. The authors report a case of intraarticular giant cell tumor of tendon sheath arising from posterior cruciate ligament which was successfully excised arthroscopically using posterior trans-septal portal at the time of arthroscopic reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to report the effect of Korean medical therapy on pain and dysfunction after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Methods : A 25-year-old man experienced severe pain after right ACL reconstruction surgery. He received Korean medical treatments such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, and physiotherapy from July 10, 2014 to August 2, 2014. Results : After the treatments, his visual analogue scale scores generally decreased and the range of motion of the right knee improved from $0^{\circ}$ to $90^{\circ}$. Furthermore, the Knee Infury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score increased from 99 to 142. Conclusion : The findings suggest that Korean medical treatments might be effectively used to treat pain and dysfunction after soft-tissue surgeries such as ACL reconstruction. Nevertheless, further research is warranted because of the limited sample size of this study.

Objective : The objective of this study is to report the effect of Korean Rehabilitation Treatment with CHUNA Manual Therapy and Exercise Therapy on Postoperative Anterior Cruciate Ligament rupture of knee. Methods : Two patients were treated by Korean Rehabilitation with CHUNA Manual Therapy and Exercise Therapy at knee. We evaluated the effectiveness by Visual Analog Scale(VAS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index(WOMAC) and Range of motion(ROM) Results : Both patients had significant improvement on Knee ROM, VAS score and WOMAC index. Also physical examination of Knee was improved. Conclusions : This study showed that Korean Rehabilitation Treatment with CHUNA Manual Therapy and Exercise Therapy has meaningful effect on Postoperative of anterior cruciate ligament rupture of knee. But there is a limit on this study due to sufficient number of cases. Further studies will be needed.

Discoid lateral menisci were common morphological anomaly and several classifications were proposed. Watanabe et al classified all discoid menisci, as seen arthroscopically, into three types 1) complete 2) incomplete and 3) Wrisberg ligament type. The purpose of this study is to report a rare case of both painful snapping knee joints in 6 year-old female. On arthroscopic examination, complete lateral discoid meniscus which consisted of taut Wrisberg ligament and intact tibial insertion of posterior horn was found, and abnormal anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) which has expanded femoral origin over the posterior articular surface of lateral femoral condyle was also found. At the time of arthroscopic surgery, hypertrophied high-riding Wrisberg ligament was resected, and expanded femoral origin of the anterior cruciate ligament was partially resected nearly to normal margin, and discoid lateral meniscus was saucerized. After these procedures, abnormal snapping sound was disappeared in full range of motion. On the follow-up examination after 1 year, pain and snapping sound were disappeared and any instability and limping were not found.
