Next Generation Approaches to Scapholunate Ligament Reconstruction in Orthopaedic Surgery
Introduction Scapholunate interosseous ligament (SLIL) injuries are among the most common wrist ligament disorders, especially in active and sports-injury populations. These injuries significantly affect joint stability, hand function, and long-term mobility, making effective reconstruction techniques critically important in clinical practice. This study explores current reconstructive approaches, their biomechanical limitations, and emerging solutions centered on tissue…

Reliability and Validity of the Sit-To-Stand Test to Assess Global Foot Mobility
Introduction: The Sit-to-Stand Test (STST) is a simple yet widely used method to assess foot mobility by observing changes in foot posture between weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing positions. Despite its popularity, concerns remain about its reliability and validity. This study evaluates the intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of the STST and compares its classifications with objective foot…

3 Dimensional vs 2 Dimensional Comparison of Knee Valgus Collapse During Vertical Jump Clinical Implications for ACL Risk of Injury Assessment
Introduction Efficient screening of lower extremity biomechanics is crucial in athletic medicine to prevent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. Traditionally, 3D motion capture systems are considered the gold standard for assessing dynamic knee valgus, but they require expensive equipment and time. This study explores the use of 2D kinematic evaluation during a standardized vertical jump…
