Revision Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Patellar Tendon Allograft Surgical Technique
نویسنده
چکیده
Despite the marked advances in treatment and highly predictable success of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, an approximate 10% to 15% failure rate is noted in the literature. The mechanism of failure is often difficult to ascertain and is often multifactorial. A strong patient-physician relationship must be established to proceed with revision ACL reconstruction. After the decision has been made to proceed with revision ACL reconstruction extensive preoperative planning is warranted. Revision ACL recontructions are a ‘‘salvage’’ procedure to allow the patient to perform activities of daily living. A return to sports is a possibility, but the patient’s expectations should be realistic and individualized. This article focuses on the surgical technique of revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with patellar tendon allograft.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: The Rush Experience
Arthroscopically assisted anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has been performed at Rush Medical Center since January 1986. Since then, over 3000 arthroscopically assisted ACL reconstructions have been performed at this institution by the 2 senior authors. The surgical procedure has evolved from a 2-incision technique to a single-incision technique. The graft of choice has been auto...
متن کاملEffect of donor age on patellar tendon allograft ACL reconstruction.
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with patellar tendon allograft tissue is a common orthopedic procedure. It is unknown what effect, if any, the donor age has on clinical outcomes. Biomechanical studies have shown the strength of cadaveric patellar tendon to be independent of age, but no clinical studies have evaluated patient outcomes related to this variable. The purpose of this study...
متن کاملQuadriceps strength and functional capacity after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Patellar tendon autograft versus allograft.
Harvesting the central third of the patellar tendon for autograft anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is thought to compromise quadriceps strength and functional capacity. We compared objective measurements of quadriceps strength and functional capacity in athletes after patellar tendon autograft or allograft anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. We looked at 33 active male patients ...
متن کاملThe modified bone-patellar tendon-bone allograft in single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
Bone-patellar tendon-bone graft has been an attractive option for single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in clinical practice. However, the graft-tunnel mismatch in the proximal part of the tibial tunnel and the ultimate strength after postoperative ligamentization process have been potential problems for the traditional 10-mm wide graft. We modified the traditional bone-patell...
متن کاملAnterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction with or without Bracing
Background: Rupture of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) would cause instability and disability and if left untreated. Reconstruction is performed by different techniques including patellar bone graft, as the strongest device. Application of brace after ACL reconstructions has revealed doubtful results. Methods: One hundred ACL ruptured patients randomized into two groups were reconstructed with...
