Abstract: The hypotheses were that medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLr) would improve the long-term symptoms of patellofemoral Instability (PFI) and control patellar tilt, based on computed tomography (CT), and that the addition of a TT transfer, when it is necessary, would not deteriorate the outcome. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of a large series of MPFLr, either isolated or associated with a TT transfer. From 133 MPFLr with a minimum of 4 years postoperatively, three groups were defined: isolated MPFLr, MPFLr with tibial tubercle (TT) medialisation or MPFLr with TT medialisation and distalisation. IKDC and Kujala scores were evaluated. Patellar tilt was evaluated on the patient's preoperative and the last available radiograph, and on CT scan measurements performed preoperatively and at 6-month postoperatively. The mean follow-up was 6.3 ± 1.7 years [4.1-10.3] and four patients reported recurrent patellar dislocation. Between pre and postoperative at last follow-up a significant improvement in IKDC and Kujala functional scores was observed (P < 0.01), with no difference between the three groups. Regarding patellar tilt, there were significant decreases in Laurin and Merchant angles and an improvement of the Maldague stage (P < 0.01). The CT analysis of patellar tilt also demonstrates a significant improvement of the patella tilt (P < 0.01). The control of the patella tilt was correlated with a good functional result (P < 0.01). The MPFLr, whether isolated or associated with a TT transfer, provides good long-term clinical and radiological outcomes with a low rate of recurrence. The addition of a TT transfer, when necessary, results in the same good outcomes. This article provides a guide for surgeons evaluating PFI to choose the most appropriate procedure. IV.

Abstract: The dual mobility cup (DMC) concept was proposed by Professor Gilles Bousquet in 1974. Its' aims were to prevent postoperative dislocation, restore the physiological range of motion of the hip, and reduce the stresses at the interface. Since it was created, this design has been modified multiple times to reduce the complication rate, improve implant survival, and expand the indications. The objective of this review is to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this implant based on its 40-year history and also to propose a range of indications based on published results. This will provide surgeons with a complete overview of DMC. Published studies on DMC confirm the low dislocation rate. Improvements made to DMC overtime have greatly reduced the complications related to wear, such as aseptic loosening and intraprosthetic dislocation (IPD). According to the literature, the indications have expanded and are no longer limited to revision surgery only. Long-term studies are needed before we can draw formal conclusions and consolidate these promising results.

Abstract: The optimal orientation of the anterolateral extra-articular reconstruction (ALLR) femoral tunnel to avoid collision with the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) femoral tunnel is not clearly defined in the literature. To define the optimal combination of orientations of the ALLR femoral tunnel and the ACLR femoral tunnel using an inside-out technique to minimize risk of collision between these tunnels. Descriptive laboratory study. Three-dimensional reconstruction of magnetic resonance imaging scans of 40 knees after an isolated ACLR with an inside-out femoral technique was used to assess the collision risk between ACLR and virtual ALLR tunnels. The optimal ACLR tunnel orientation was defined as having the safest distance from the ALLR tunnel. A second collision analysis was performed on all patients presenting with an optimal orientation of the ACLR tunnel to then define the optimal ALLR tunnel orientation. The potential for trochlear damage was also studied. A collision risk of 0% to 5% was considered acceptable and referred to as “low risk.” The only ALLR tunnel orientation presenting a low risk of collision with the ACLR tunnel was with an axial angle of 40° anteriorly and a coronal angle of 0°. This orientation presented a 48% risk of trochlear damage with the guide wire of the ALLR tunnel. The more posterior the orientation of the ACLR, the larger the distance from the ALLR tunnel. Among the 22 patients presenting with an optimal ACLR tunnel (alpha angle superior to 40°), the ALLR tunnels aimed with 1 of these 3 orientations presented a low risk of tunnel collision and trochlear damage: 40° axial and 10° coronal, 35° axial and 5° coronal, or 30° axial and 0° coronal. To minimize risk of tunnel collision or trochlear damage when combining an inside-out ACLR with an ALLR, the ACLR tunnel should be performed with a posterior orientation (alpha angle °), and the ALLR tunnel should be aimed with 1 of 3 orientations: 40° axial and 10° coronal, 35° axial and 5° coronal, or 30° axial and 0° coronal.

Abstract: Solvent extraction has been ubiquitously used to recover valuable metals from wastes such as spent batteries and electrical boards. With increasing demands for energy transition, there is a critical need to improve the recycling rate of critical metals, including copper. Therefore, the sustainability of reagents is critical for the overall sustainability of the process. Yet, the recycling process relies on functional organic compounds based on the hydroxyoxime group. To date, hydroxyoxime extractants have been produced from petrol-based chemical feedstocks. Recently, natural-based cardanol has been used to produce an alternative hydroxyoxime. The natural-based oxime has been employed to recover valuable metals (Ga, Ni, Co) via a liquid/liquid extraction process. The natural compound has a distinctive structure with 15 carbons in the alkyl tail. In contrast, petrol-based hydroxyoximes have only 12 or fewer carbons. However, the molecular advantages of this natural-based compound over the current petrol-based ones remain unclear. In this study, molecular dynamics simulation was employed to investigate the effect of extractant hydrocarbon chains on the extraction of copper ions. Two hydroxyoxime extractants with 12 and 15 carbons in the alkyl chain were found to have similar interactions with Cu2+ ions. Yet, a slight molecular binding increase was observed when the carbon chain was increased. In addition, lengthening the carbon chain made the extracting stage easier and the stripping stage harder. The binding would result in a lower pH in the extraction step and a lower pH in the stripping step. The insights from this molecular study would help design the extraction circuit using natural-based hydroxyoxime extractants. A successful application of cashew-based cardanol will improve the environmental benefits of the recycling process. With cashew-producing regions in developing countries, the application also improves these regions’ social and economic sustainability.
