A servohydraulic testing system flexed and extended specimens 100 times before and following each intervention. Pressure magnitudes and locations were measured via submeniscal sensors on the medial and lateral tibial plateaus under 4 conditions (each at 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, and 60° of knee flexion): native anatomy, first injury (InjPost1), first surgical intervention (SurgPost1), and second surgical intervention (SurgPost2). Linear mixed models compared interactions between group, side, and condition through SurgPost1 and interactions between side and condition for native and SurgPost2 for the magnitude and location of peak pressures.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Peak pressure was greater at 0°, 15°, and 30° in the medial compartment than the lateral compartment, regardless of injury condition. For the ACL group, at 0°, peak pressure in the lateral compartment was more posterior than the medial compartment, and at 15°, the meniscus group displayed more posterior peak pressure in the medial compartment than the lateral compartment. Greater anterior peak pressure was observed at 15° in SurgPost1 than native anatomy. Peak pressure was greater in SurgPost2 than native in the lateral compartment at 30°. For native and SurgPost2, peak pressure was greater in the medial compartment than the lateral compartment at 15° and greater in the lateral compartment than the medial compartment at 60°.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>ACL and meniscus injuries and surgical interventions result in similar anterior peak pressure translation. Sustaining both injuries and surgical interventions increases peak pressure magnitude.</div></div><div><h3>Clinical Relevance</h3><div>Understanding how peak tibiofemoral contact pressures change in magnitude and location following an ACL or lateral meniscus injury and treatment may help guide treatment decisions and rehabilitation strategies that best prevent knee joint degeneration.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34631,"journal":{"name":"Arthroscopy Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation","volume":"7 4","pages":"Article 101152"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144933985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Video source, content type, time since upload, video duration, number of views, likes, subscribers and comments were recorded. Video educational quality was measured using the modified DISCERN, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) score, Global Quality Score and Shoulder-Specific Score (SSS). Quality scores from different sources and content categories were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Strength of relationship between variables was assessed using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>In total, 209,005 videos were identified of which the first 50 videos were analyzed.

The most common uploader source were physicians (28%) and the most common content category was surgical management (32%). Videos uploaded by an academic source had significantly higher mDISCERN, JAMA, and SSS (<em>P</em> < .05). Other uploader sources did not show significant differences among each other. Quantitative video characteristics showed no significant correlation with quality scores, except the video duration.

It does not provide sufficient information and potentially reinforces misinformation that may downplay potential benefits of nonsurgical interventions.</div></div><div><h3>Clinical Relevance</h3><div>Given the widespread use of YouTube by patients seeking medical information, evaluating the quality of this content is essential for surgeons to better understand and address the information their patients may encounter.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34631,"journal":{"name":"Arthroscopy Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation","volume":"7 4","pages":"Article 101170"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144934048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
