Episode 100: Knee Edition — Vol. 1, Issue 15 (2026-04-14)

Today's knee edition examines four diverse topics in knee surgery research. We explore decision-making for lateral extra-articular tenodesis in ACL reconstruction, evaluate the reliability of CPAK classification systems in total knee arthroplasty, review a predictive model for early TKA outcomes, and investigate the mechanisms behind revision component failures through advanced materials analysis.
