The number of revision total knee arthroplasty procedures performed annually is increasing and, subsequently, so is the number of patients presenting following a failed revision. Rerevising a total knee arthroplasty after one or more failed revision procedures presents many challenges, including diminished bone stock for prosthetic fixation. "Off the shelf" implants may not offer the best alter...

Revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction can be performed in a 1- or 2-stage procedure. Restoration of bone stock using bone grafting is often required for good results. The authors performed 1-stage revision surgery with a more lateral and oblique femoral tunnel and an impacted bone graft to avoid the bone defect caused by the previous screw removal from a malpositioned tunnel. No ev...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effectiveness of a revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with nonirradiated patellar tendon allograft used to salvage a failed index patellar tendon autograft procedure. TYPE OF STUDY Retrospective case series with minimum 2-year follow-up. METHODS Between 1993 and 1999, 39 patients underwent a revision reconstruction. Clinical, radiographic, arthrometri...

The debate around extra-articular augmentation (EA) of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction continues to provide a rich source research articles that we ultimately hope will improve patient outcomes. When combined with ACL reconstruction, anterolateral or lateral tenodesis procedures reduce graft failure and persistent rotatory laxity. An important metric outcome is return play (RTP)...
