Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is common among soccer players. Although there are no strict recommendations for the return to sport, more and more practitioners are having their patients perform isokinetic and even composite tests. However, these tests have not yet been shown to be predictive of re-injury, and are not specific to professional footballers. Objectives: The “11 to Perf” is a test designed to help professional footballers return to sport after ACL reconstruction. Its originality lies in its integration of soccer practice with specific tests. The aim of this article is to present the “11 to Perf” evaluation method. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted at the Centre National du Football (FIFA center) in Clairefontaine, including professional footballers who have undergone anterior cruciate ligament surgery and rehabilitation. Tests include clinical assessments, jumping, agility, psychological and isokinetic tests and match simulation. Conclusions: The “11 to Perf” is a composite test designed to assess the return to sport of professional footballers after ACL reconstruction. Its predictive capacity for recurrence should be assessed in the future.

Rotator cuff injuries are common and can lead to pain and functional limitation of the shoulder, sometimes requiring surgical procedure. We describe a surgical approach combining the modified Mason‐Allen and lasso‐loop techniques for the repair of rotator cuff injuries. This hybrid approach brings the 2 advantages of each suture: the compression provided by the loop and the large quantity of tendons caught by the Mason‐Allen in a single repair row.

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a frequent injury among athletes, particularly women. Various techniques have shown effectiveness, but their impact on laxity and clinical outcomes varies. This study aims to compare the rupture rates of patellar tendon (PT) reconstruction versus hamstring reconstruction (HR) combined with anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ALLR) in young women. The secondary objectives include comparing functional ACL-RSI and subjective IKDC scores, as well as the Tegner scale, between these two groups. The hypothesis is that adding ALLR to HR will result in rupture rates and functional scores similar to those of PT reconstruction. Methods: Between 2015 and 2019, 96 patients were treated at two facilities, with 70 having an average follow-up of 44 ± 14.5 months: 35 underwent PT reconstruction, and 35 had HR combined with ALLR. Patients were re-evaluated remotely after at least 2 years using a standardised questionnaire and assessing subjective IKDC, ACL-RSI, and Tegner scores. Results: Rupture rates were 5.7% in both groups. The mean subjective IKDC score was 81% for the HR + ALLR group versus 80.8% for the PT group (p = 0.09). The mean ACL-RSI score was 66% for HR + ALLR versus 68% for PT (p = 0.78). The HR + ALLR group lost an average of 0.4 points on the Tegner scale postoperatively, while the PT group lost an average of 0.77 points (p = 0.09). Conclusions: Hamstring surgery combined with anterolateral surgery provides subjective results, as assessed by patients using subjective scales and questionnaires, that are as good as those obtained with PT surgery in young women. Notwithstanding, the results are not corroborated by clinical or radiological examination.
