Treatment after anterior cruciate ligament injury: Panther Symposium ACL Treatment Consensus Group

Treatment strategies for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries continue to evolve. Evidence supporting best practice guidelines for the management of ACL injury is to a large extent based on studies with low-level evidence. An international consensus group of experts was convened to collaboratively advance towards consensus opinions regarding the best available evidence on operative versus non-operative treatment for ACL injury.The purpose of this study was to report the consensus statements on operative versus non-operative treatment of ACL injuries developed at the ACL Consensus Meeting Panther Symposium 2019. Sixty-six international experts on the management of ACL injuries, representing 18 countries, convened and participated in a process based on the Delphi method of achieving consensus. Proposed consensus statements were drafted by the Scientific Organising Committee and Session Chairs for the three working groups. Panel participants reviewed preliminary statements prior to the meeting and provided initial agreement and comments on the statement via online survey. During the meeting, discussion and debate occurred for each statement, after which a final vote was then held. Eighty per cent agreement was defined a priori as consensus. A total of 11 of 13 statements on operative veresus non-operative treatment of ACL injury reached consensus during the symposium. Nine statements achieved unanimous support; two reached strong consensus; one did not achieve consensus; and one was removed due to redundancy in the information provided.In highly active patients engaged in jumping, cutting and pivoting sports, early anatomical anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is recommended due to the high risk of secondary meniscus and cartilage injuries with delayed surgery, although a period of progressive rehabilitation to resolve impairments and improve neuromuscular function is recommended. For patients who seek to return to straight plane activities, non-operative treatment with structured, progressive rehabilitation is an acceptable treatment option. However, with persistent functional instability or when episodes of giving way occur, anatomical ACLR is indicated. The consensus statements derived from international leaders in the field will assist clinicians in deciding between operative and non-operative treatment with patients after an ACL injury.Level of evidence: V

16th Potsdam Thinkshop: The rotation periods of cool stars: Measurements, uses, connections and prospects

This topical issue of Astronomische Nachrichten/Astronomical Notes contains a cross section of the articles that were presented at the 16th Potsdam Thinkshop, which was organized by the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) and held on its campus in Babelsberg in September 2019. The title of the Thinkshop was “The rotation periods of cool stars: Measurements, uses, connections and prospects.” The motivations for organizing this Thinkshop were manifold. Rotation periods are rapidly becoming available for large numbers of cool stars, both from ground-based efforts and from space missions such as Kepler, Gaia, TESS, and—before long—PLATO. These rotation periods offer independent and complementary information about stars in comparison to prior techniques. For instance, they are often used to derive ages for cool stars via a procedure known as gyrochronology. Rotation also helps to interpret and illuminate various magnetic and activity behaviors of stars, and rotation in turn is likely itself affected by various internal and external factors. Related topics include open clusters, membership verification, metallicity dependence, binary stars, effects of close companions, and various others, which might be relevant to the aims of well-reasoned measurement, usage, and interpretation of rotation periods and to the future prospects of gyrochronology. The workshop enabled researchers to present their results in a more intimate setting than often possible, and significant time was reserved for discussions and interaction. The Scientific Organizing Committee consisted of Sydney Barnes (AIP, chair), Constantine Deliyannis (Indiana University, United States), Elisa Distefano (INAF, Catania, Italy), Jose D. do Nascimento (DFTE-UFRN, Brazil & CfA-SAO, United States), Thomas Granzer (AIP), Silva Järvinen (AIP), Elisabeth Newton (Dartmouth College, United States), Steven Saar (CfA, United States), and Klaus Strassmeier (AIP). A total of 54 participants from a number of different continents attended the Thinkshop. Further information is available on the Internet at: https://thinkshop.aip.de/16/cms/. All of the relevant topics listed above were mentioned in some form or the other during the Thinkshop, and many were discussed extensively. We are pleased to include a selection of the presented articles in this Special Issue. All contributions to this issue were reviewed by expert referees. We would like to express our gratitude to the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam for hosting this conference and to the AIP administrative staff for their competent administrative support.
