The “McFL‐LARS” Hybrid Technique: Fascia Lata Autograft and Synthetic Reinforcement for Combined Revision Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Lateral Extra‐articular Tenodesis

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using fascia lata autograft is a validated technique but remains limited by graft diameter or by the need to harvest a hamstring tendon. This report describes a novel hybrid approach, the “McFL‐LARS” hybrid technique, combining fascia lata autograft with a ligament advanced reinforcement system ...
