Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using four-strand hamstring graft with round-headed, cannulated, interference (RCI) screw fixation requires osteointegration of the tendon graft. This report describes the histology at the bone-tendon junction of two specimens retrieved from patients undergoing revision surgery after traumatic mid-substance ACL graft rupture at 6 and 10 weeks afte...

We present the case of an extra-articular lateral tenodesis for an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficient knee. A 46-year-old male patient sustained an ACL graft rupture after a motorcycle accident. He complained of rotational instability and giving-way episodes. His previous graft was fixed by an intra-articular femoral staple that was not possible to remove at the time of the ACL revision...

j t nterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery is one of the most frequently performed perative procedures in orthopaedic surgery. There re estimates that 100,000 new ACL injuries occur nnually. Marked improvements have occurred in the ast 15 years with regard to graft selection, tunnel lacement, graft fixation, and rehabilitation that have esulted in predictable outcomes for ACL su...

Revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery has become increasingly common over the past decade and its popularity is likely to rise further as the number of primary ACL reconstructions increases each year. More than 75% of all cases of failed ACL reconstruction are the result of technical error and, of these, more than 70% are attributed specifically to malpositioned tunne...

BACKGROUND The number of children and adolescents with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions is increasing, and disturbing reports on high rerupture rates in this group have been noted. PURPOSE To describe the outcome of ACL reconstruction in children and adolescents based on data from the Danish Knee Ligament Reconstruction Registry (DKRR). STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Level of ev...

High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a valid treatment option for young active patients with medial tibiofemoral osteoarthrosis (OA) and varus deformity. Sometimes medial OA is combined with symptomatic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency. Although isolated HTO (with possible delayed ACL reconstruction) might be indicated in the older population, young active patients may require combined HTO...

INTRODUCTION The authors present the long-term clinical outcomes of revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. aim was to compare surgical technique with respect within 3 years postoperatively. MATERIAL AND METHODS evaluation reconstructions performed at our department in 2002-2017 carried out. A total 82 patients were included study, male as well female patients. Apart from outc...

Background/objective Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions often fail without graft rupture. The purpose of this study was to compare the characteristics of patients with elongated and ruptured bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) grafts that required revision surgery. Methods Twenty one patients who required revisions of a BTB-reconstructed ACL between 2010 and 2015 were enrolled in th...

Purpose Long-term outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction are good or excellent; however, 0.7%-20% of patients suffer from recurrent instability due to graft failure. The purpose of this paper was to analyse failure aetiology and the possibilities of revision surgical strategies, with a description of our experience. We obtained optimal and good results in most of our patien...
