Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are a common knee injury, particularly among cutting and pivoting athletes. Despite advancements, retear rates and outcomes remain unsatisfactory in certain populations. Lateral extra-articular iliotibial band tenodesis (LET) has gained traction as an adjunct to ACL reconstruction to decrease retear rates and enhance knee stability by reducing the pivot shift. We present a technique for LET fixation using the OSSIOfiber Compression Staple, a biointegrative implant that promotes osseointegration. The technique involves standard ACL reconstruction followed by LET fixation with the OSSIOfiber staple, offering potential advantages such as reduced radiographic artifacts and enhanced integration.

Mechanical and Chemical Digestion in the Small Intestine
Mechanical digestion in the small intestine involves movements such as segmentations and migrating motility complexes (MMCs), primarily controlled by the myenteric plexus. Segmentations are localized contractions occurring in areas of the intestine distended by chyme—a mixture of partially digested food. These contractions mix chyme with digestive juices, facilitating absorption...
