Borderline ACL on MRI: How Functional Instability Testing Can Clarify

“Borderline” ACL findings on MRI can leave the team uncertain: the report suggests a sprain or partial disruption, yet the patient describes giving way and loss of trust in pivoting. In this gap, borderline ACL MRI instability testing aims to align structure with function by prioritizing clinical correlation and reproducible instability assessment. This is especially […]

Acute Knee Ligament Injury triage in Urgent Care: A Triage Algorithm for Suspected Ligament Injury

Arthrometer Insights, Health and Safety Tips / Yves Crystal

Acute knee trauma is common in urgent and emergency settings, but soft tissue injuries are frequently missed when pain, swelling, or limited exam conditions obscure key signs. This workflow is an acute knee injury algorithm designed for rapid risk stratification, safe early management, and consistent documentation, with special attention to suspected ACL and multi-ligament patterns.

ACL return to sport criteria: Practical safer clearance

Arthrometer Insights, Health and Safety Tips / Yves Crystal

Return-to-sport decisions after ACL injury or reconstruction are rarely limited by one variable. Even when an athlete “passes” strength and hop testing, persistent functional instability can remain clinically relevant, particularly for cutting and pivoting sports. Modern ACL return to sport criteria increasingly aim to triangulate performance capacity (strength, hops, movement quality) with symptoms, psychology, and

After India, Let’s Meet in Munich – Visit Genourob at Booth 19 at ISAKOS 2025

Arthrometer Insights / Yves Crystal

After an inspiring showing at the Pune Knee Course (PKC) in India—where surgeons from across the subcontinent gathered to explore innovations in knee surgery—we now set our sights on Munich, Germany, for one of the most prestigious international gatherings in orthopaedics: ISAKOS 2025. From June 8 to 12, Genourob will proudly exhibit at Booth 19,
