The purpose of this update is to review the research on several topics in adult knee reconstruction published during the year 2011. The keywords “knee” and “arthroplasty” and “prospective” and “randomized” were used to perform a search in the National Library of Medicine’s PubMed database, limited to manuscripts published in The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (American and British volumes) and The Journal of Arthroplasty in 2011. The resulting twenty-five studies are all discussed in this review of adult reconstruction of the knee and are included in the complete bibliography at the end of the manuscript.
