Improving ACL Reconstruction Outcomes
Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 2017Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a common and predominantly successful surgical intervention. But are there specific preoperative patient characteristics or intraoperative surgeon decisions that lead to better or worse outcomes? And can understanding brain function changes of patients after ACL reconstruction reveal insights into the

Allograft Tissue in ACL Reconstruction
Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review, 2009Musculoskeletal allografts are an essential component for the surgical management of orthopedic injuries. Allografts are most frequently used in the knee for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency and less frequently for other ligament lesions, meniscal transplant, and osteochondral repair.

The Physician and Sportsmedicine, 1992
Patients who have anterior cruciate ligament injuries are likely to question their primary care physicians about their treatment options, which include surgical reconstruction. Although surgery cannot restore knees to their original condition, a successful reconstruction will provide stability to the knee and allow patients to lead fairly active lives.

Clinical Orthopaedics & Related Research, 2007
From individual randomized studies, it is unclear whether patellar tendon grafts or hamstring tendon grafts yield the best functional results after ACL reconstruction. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to provide quantitative data to compare patellar with hamstring grafts after ACL reconstruction with regard to knee function.

Inferior results after revision ACL reconstructions: a comparison with primary ACL reconstructions
Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, 2012AbstractPurposeAnterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures are common, especially among young athletes, and such injuries may have considerable impact on both sport careers and everyday life. ACL reconstructions are successful for most patients, but some suffer from persistent giving‐way symptoms and/or re‐ruptures requiring revision surgery.

Technical Complications of ACL Reconstruction
JBJS Case Connector, 2013The main goal of ACL reconstruction is to reproduce native knee kinematics in order to allow the patient to return to high-level activities. Orthopaedic surgeons achieve this objective in the overwhelming majority of cases, but complications can ensue. A rare technical complication is highlighted in the July 24 edition of Case Connector . A twenty-one-

Early ACL Reconstruction in Combined ACL—MCL Injuries
The Journal of Knee Surgery, 2010This study reports 18 patients with 19 combined ligament injuries with complete anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear and a minimum grade II medial collateral ligament (MCL) tear who underwent early reconstruction of the ACL and nonoperative treatment of the MCL. Inclusion criteria included ACL reconstruction performed within 3 weeks of initial injury,

The Influence of Posterolateral Rotatory Instability on ACL Reconstruction
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery-American Volume, 2012The purpose of the present retrospective study was to evaluate the influence of posterolateral corner reconstruction on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in terms of anterior laxity and clinical outcomes. We hypothesized that the effects of combined ACL and posterolateral corner reconstruction would be less satisfactory than those of ...

Osteoarthritis of the knee after ACL reconstruction
International Orthopaedics, 1991One hundred and fourteen knees with deficiency of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) which had undergone reconstruction of the ligament using semitendinosus and gracilis were reviewed at a mean of 61 months after operation. Radiological and clinical evaluation was undertaken.

ACL Reconstruction and Extra-articular Tenodesis
Clinics in Sports Medicine, 2013The purpose of this article is to update the orthopedic community on the role of lateral extra-articular tenodesis in the management of anterior cruciate ligament-deficient knees. Information includes historical perspective, current applications and techniques, and a review of published outcomes.
