Tunnel intersection in combined anatomic reconstruction of the ACL and posterolateral corner.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Femoral tunnel intersection in combined anterior cruciate ligament and posterolateral corner reconstruction has been reported to be high. The purpose of this study was to examine the risk of intersection between an anatomic femoral anterior cruciate ligament tunnel created with a retrograde reaming device and femoral lateral collateral ligament reconstruction tunnels of varying trajectory in a synthetic femur model.

Posterolateral Corner of the Knee:Current Concepts
Injuries to the posterolateral corner (PLC) comprise a significant portion of knee ligament injuries. A high index of suspicion is necessary when evaluating the injured knee to detect these sometimes occult injuries. Moreover, a thorough physical examination and a comprehensive review of radiographic studies are necessary to identify these injuries. In this sense, stress radiographs can ...
متن کاملIs there any Correlation Between Patient Height and Patellar Tendon Length?
Background: A potential specific problem of patellar tendon graft in ACL reconstruction is the possibility of graft-tunnel mismatch which could be more problematic with anatomic ACL reconstruction where the femoral tunnel is placed low on the lateral wall of the lateral femoral condyle. The occasional occurrence of this mismatch raises the question that whether a correlation exists between pat...

BACKGROUND Tunnel enlargement and coalition following double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with hamstring tendon autografts has not yet been sufficiently studied. HYPOTHESIS The incidence and the degree of femoral tunnel enlargement will be significantly greater than those for tibial tunnel enlargement after anatomic double-bundle ACL reconstruction using hamstring te...
متن کاملRestoring Nature Through Individualized Anatomic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Surgery
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery has significantly evolved in recent years. This has led to development of new technologies that facilitate the diagnosis of ACL injury and the application of state of the art methods for treatment. In particular, individualized anatomical ACL reconstruction aims to restore native ACL function. Treatment is tailored to each patient based on...
