Clinical and standard radiographic assessments were made of both the primary ACL-reconstructed knees and the patients who underwent ACL revision surgery using re-harvested patellar tendon autografts. Furthermore, in the revised knees, the patellar tendon underwent radiographic evaluations using MRI two and ten years after the index operation and histological and ultrastructural evaluations using a light and transmission ...
Background: When anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction fails, a revision procedure may be performed to improve knee function, correct instability, and allow return to activities. The results of revision ACL reconstruction have been reported to produce good but inferior patient-reported and objective outcomes compared with primary ACL reconstruction, but the degree to which this is the case varies widely among published studies and may be influenced by heterogeneity of patients, techniques, and endpoints assessed. For those reasons, a systematic review may provide important insights. Questions/purposes: In a systematic review, we asked: (1) What is the proportion of revision ACL reconstruction cumulative failures defined as rerupture or objective failure using prespecified clinical criteria at mean followup of at least 5 years? (2) What are the most common complications of revision ACL reconstruction? Methods: A systematic review was performed by searching PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, and ...
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common in young athletes. The management of ACL injuries has evolved considerably in the past 50 years. Historically, ACL tears were managed via isolated lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) to control anterior laxity. The use of isolated extra-articular reconstruction decreased after single-bundle intra-articular ACL reconstruction techniques were introduced. Double-bundle ACL reconstruction was developed to further control rotational laxity. Recently, single-bundle ACL reconstruction in combination with LET has emerged as a method to decrease rotatory laxity in high-risk athletes. Although LET usually is recommended during revision ACL surgery, LET also is considered an adjunct to primary ACL reconstruction in patients with certain risk factors, such as age younger than 18 years, a grade II pivot shift, underlying hyperlaxity, or intention to return to high-demand cutting/pivoting sports activity. This video discusses the case presentation of a 13-year
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is one of the most common orthopaedic procedures performed among young, active and healthy individuals.. The double-bundle ACL reconstruction technique was developed to improve both the anatomical and biomechanical properties of the knee after the reconstruction, due to the restoration of both of the bundles of the ACL: the anteromedial (AM) and the posterolateral (PL) bundle.. Their different insertion sites and tension patterns during knee motion, were supposed to resemble the native ACL more closely than the traditional single-bundle reconstruction. Although many laboratory studies support these findings, clinical studies are less convincing. Large, high-quality studies, with focus on the patient´s subjective outcome has been requested in order to decide if double-bundle reconstruction technique should continue to be an option for the ACL injured patients. This study was designed to compare the double-bundle to the single-bundle ACL ...

Inserting the first end of a strand of suture material through the tibial and femoral tunnels then through each supplemental femoral tunnel. The other end of each of each strand of suture ...
Due to it being tangential to the distal femoral axis, the anteromedial portal presents significant risk of causing iatrogenic damage, and of producing tunnels that are too short for optimal osseointegration. Flexible reamers were developed to eliminate the need for knee hyperflexion and offer better-controlled orientation of the femoral tunnel. We aimed to compare the anteversion and length of femoral tunnels drilled using flexible reamers to those drilled using rigid reamers. Between May 2012 and December 2013, all patients receiving ACL reconstruction performed by one surgeon were operated on using either a rigid or a flexible reamer from the same supplier (Versi-Tomic® system, Stryker, Kalamazoo, Michigan). The height of each patient was recorded, and the length and anteversion of the femoral tunnels were measured intra-operatively and on true lateral radiographs, respectively. Thirty-seven patients underwent operations using the rigid instrumentation, and 43 using the flexible instrumentation.

In November 2013 the Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Community was awakened by a media hype around a new ligament in the knee joint, found in Belgium by Steven Claes, which was previously unknown to surgeons performing arthroscopic ACL reconstruction . North American surgeons buffered the media, showing this new named ALL ligament was an anatomic structure that was found on anatomic sections. Old studies from a French surgeon (1879), Segond, showed that the avulsion fracture, named Segond fracture, was attached to a strong capsulair structure. This structure seems to be the same as the new named ALL ligament. New ligaments could mean new indications and new surgical techniques, which was already seen with the hype of the double bundle ACL reconstruction. Many researches used CAOS to scientifically show the advantages and limitations of DB techniques. In 2009, A Pearle (New York, USA) produced 10 papers using CAOS technology in relation to the new interest in biomechanics and reconstruction ...

Experimental and numerical analysis of screw fixation in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction - -This paper reports the results of an experimental and finite element analysis of tibial screw fixation in hamstring ACL reconstruction. The mechanical properties of the bone and tendon graft are obtained from experiments using porcine/calf bones and tendon. The results of the numerical study are compared with those from mechanical testing. Analysis shows that the model may be used to establish the optimum placement of the tunnel in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction by predicting mechanical parameters such as stress, strain and displacement at regions in the tunnel wall.

DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING AND POPULATION Patients from 6 US health plans who underwent ACL reconstruction from January 1, 2000, through December 31, 2008. METHODS We identified ACL reconstructions and potential postoperative infections using claims data. A hierarchical stratified sampling strategy was used to identify patients for medical record review to confirm ACL reconstructions and to determine allograft vs autograft tissue implanted, clinical characteristics, and infection status. We estimated infection rates overall and by graft type. We used logistic regression to assess the association between infections and patients demographic characteristics, comorbidities, and choice of graft. RESULTS On review of 1,452 medical records, we found 55 deep wound infections. With ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - Anatomic anterior cruciate ligament double-bundle reconstruction using 2 tibial and 2 femoral tunnels. AU - Ferretti, Mario. AU - Zelle, Boris A.. AU - Chhabra, Anikar. AU - Fu, Freddie H.. PY - 2005/9/1. Y1 - 2005/9/1. N2 - Over the last decade, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has been continuously improved. Although the current outcomes of the single-bundle ACL reconstruction are good, there remains significant room for improvement. A high percentage of patients do not return to their previous level of activity, and progressive cartilage degeneration continues to be a common problem after ACL injury. The evaluation of the 3-dimensional in vivo kinematics of the knee joint after single-bundle ACL reconstruction has demonstrated good restoration of the anteroposterior stability, whereas the rotational stability cannot be restored. Similarly, biomechanical studies in cadavers reveal that anatomic double-bundle ACL reconstruction restores the rotational knee ...
0005]Single tunnel single bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (STSBACLR) has long been established as a method of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. A variety of graft choices are available to surgeons during ACL reconstruction. These choices include autogenous patellar or quadriceps tendon with bone blocks, or hamstring tendons. In addition, changed here tendon allografts (from donors) may be used. The main portion of the ACL which needs to be reconstructed is the anterolateral bundles. Arthroscopic assisted or open ACL reconstructions involve removing the remaining native ACL and drilling a tunnel at the anatomic attachment site of the anterolateral or posterior medial bundle at the anterolateral wall of the intercondylar notch. This tunnel is drilled in line with the roof of the notch and about 1-3 mm from the posterior articular surface of the lateral femoral condyle.

N2 - Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures are some of the most common knee injuries seen by sports medicine physicians. However, given the complex anatomy and function of the ACL, reconstruction of this ligament is anything but straightforward. The last decade has seen much advancement in ACL reconstruction, with an improved knowledge of the biology and biomechanics of graft incorporation, new choices for graft material and graft fixation devices, and more accelerated rehabilitation protocols. Although there are numerous studies in the literature on ACL reconstruction, there is yet to be a consensus among surgeons on the best graft choice and ...
Knee strength deficits after hamstring tendon and patellar tendon anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Knee bracing after ACL reconstruction: effects on postural control and proprioception
The hyperflexion required for femoral tunnel drilling in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction can be challenging in patients with increased body habitus or musculature. Whilst allowing femoral tunnel creation without hyperflexion, additional benefits of flexible reamers have been proposed in terms of tunnel dimensions. The purpose of this study was to examine whether these theoretical benefits are seen in a clinical study ...
An anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is an operation to replace a damaged anterior cruciate ligament with a ligament graft or a synthetic ligament.
Background. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a band of tough tissue inside the knee that helps stabilise the knee during movement. Rupture of the ACL is a common injury during some sporting activities, such as football and skiing. Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are often treated surgically. This usually involves keyhole (arthroscopic) ACL reconstruction, where the torn ACL is replaced by a piece of tendon (graft). The graft is usually extracted from another place near the patients affected knee. In ACL reconstruction, bone tunnels are drilled at the knee into the tibia (shin bone) and the femur (thigh bone) to place the ACL graft in almost the same position as the torn ACL.. This review compared two ACL reconstruction techniques: one-incision versus two-incision. The more common two-incision technique involves drilling the femoral (from the thigh bone) tunnel from outside to inside the knee joint with an incision made in the outward aspect of the thigh to reach the bone. In the ...
Introduction : Several studies have suggested that anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) without wound drainage has no impact on long-term follow-up. Aim: To investigate a prospective patient series as measured by the patient-administered disease-specific questionnaire Knee...
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions (ACLRs) are frequently performed on young, active patients and can result in persistent knee symptoms and activity limitations that may affect health-related quality of life (HRQoL). To date, there has been no systematic review of HRQoL outcomes after ACLR. Purpose: The objectives of this study were to report HRQoL ≥5 years after ACLR, compare HRQoL outcomes with available population norms, and describe factors that may affect HRQoL in this population. Study Design: Systematic review. Methods: All studies reporting HRQoL ≥5 years after ACLR with hamstring or patellar tendon autografts were eligible for review. Common HRQoL outcomes were pooled using a random-effects meta-analysis and compared with published population norms. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient (r) was used to identify variables associated with HRQoL outcomes. Where insufficient data were available, outcomes were reported descriptively. Results: Fourteen studies ...
Successful anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with a tendon graft necessitates solid healing of the tendon graft in the bone tunnel. Improvement of graft healing to bone is crucial for facilitating an early and aggressive rehabilitation and ensuring rapid return to pre-injury levels activity. Tendon graft healing in a bone tunnel requires bone ingrowth into the tendon. Indirect Sharpey fiber formation and direct fibrocartilage fixation confer different anchorage strength and interface properties at the tendon-bone interface. For enhancing tendon graft-to-bone healing, we introduce a strategy that includes the use of periosteum, hydrogel supplemented with periosteal progenitor cells and bone morphogenetic protein-2, and a periosteal progenitor cell sheet. Future studies include the use of cytokines, gene therapy, stem cells, platelet-rich plasma, and mechanical stress for tendon-to-bone healing. These strategies are currently under investigation, and will be applied in the clinical setting in the
A prospective study was performed on 30 patients who underwent an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with fresh-frozen patellar tendon allograft. An arthroscopic technique alone was used in 10 patients, and in the other 20 patients this was combined with a miniarthrotomy.. After a mean follow up of 35 months, the overall functional results were satisfactory in 85%. There were no cases of infection, disease transmission or tissue rejection. Fresh-frozen patellar tendon allografts are a good method of anterior cruciate reconstruction.. CITATION Int Orthop. 1994;18(4):210-4. ...
Background:The main goal of physiotherapy for patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) is to improve postural control and retain knee function. Therefore, clinicians need to use evaluative tools that assess postural changes during physiotherapy. To maximize the clinical utility of the results of these tools, the extracted measures should have appropriate psychometric properties of reliability, validity and responsiveness. No study has yet addressed responsiveness of postural measures in these patients. This study was designed to investigate the responsiveness and determine the minimal clinically important changes (MCIC) of static and dynamic postural measures in patients with (ACL-R) following physiotherapy. Methods: Static and dynamic postural measures were evaluated at first occasion and again after four weeks physiotherapy. The static measures consisted of center of pressure (COP) parameters while dynamic measures included the stability indices. Correlation analysis and ROC

We aimed to evaluate clinical and radiological results after simultaneous open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in patients with ACL deficiency combined with medial uni-compartmental osteoarthritis (OA) and varus deformity. This retrospective study was performed using data collected from 2005 to 2011 on a total of 24 patients who were diagnosed with ACL injury and medial unicompartmental OA with varus deformity, and who subsequently underwent simultaneous open-wedge HTO and arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. The mean follow-up duration was 5.2 years. For clinical outcomes, we evaluated Lysholm score, Tegner activity score, range of motion, Lachmann test, and pivot-shift test, and for radiological outcomes, we evaluated the degree of varus deformity, progression of medial OA, tibial posterior slope, anterior instability, and postoperative complication. There were no limitations in range of motion found in any cases. Three patients showed progressive

Ideal conditions for healing are mostly non-existent in one of the most common sports-related injury, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear.[1] Furthermore, there are still controversies in regards to the optimal management of a torn ACL and the optimal time for return to sports following ACL reconstruction.. At a mean of six months after ACL reconstruction, objective functional recovery of the knee was generally unsatisfactory and this seemed to be a risk factor for recurrent tears.[2] A systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrates that younger age and return to high level of activity are evident factors leading to recurrent ACL tears.[3] These combined data indicate that nearly one in four young athletic patients who sustain an ACL injury and return to high-risk sports will develop another ACL injury.[3]. The ACL reconstruction does not necessarily enable return to preinjury sports participation. By returning to pivoting sports after ACL reconstruction, athletes are also facing high ...
Radiographic enlargement of bone tunnels following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has been recently introduced in the literature; however, the etiology and clinical relevance of this
During 2000-2015, the incidence of ACL reconstruction surgery increased in Australia in all age groups; the overall incidence was greatest among 15-24-year-olds. Consistent with other recent reports,1,3,17 the rate of growth in incidence was greatest among 5-14-year-old children.. Our calculated primary ACL reconstruction incidence of 77.4 per 100 000 population is the highest population-adjusted rate in the world; lower rates in comparable Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) nations include those for the United States (52), New Zealand (37), Denmark (38), Norway (34), and Sweden (32 per 100 000 population).7. We identified age and sex differences in the incidence of ACL reconstruction surgery, with the peak incidence in males being for a slightly older age group and 73% higher than the peak incidence in females. This is consistent with studies that have reported higher rates of ACL reconstruction in males,2,18,19 despite females being two to ten times more likely to ...

PURPOSE:External loading of osteoarthritic and healthy knees correlates with current and future osteochondral tissue state. These relationships have not been examined following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. We hypothesised greater magnitude tibiofemoral contact forces were related to increased prevalence of osteochondral pathologies, and these relationships were exacerbated by concomitant meniscal injury. METHODS:This was a cross-sectional study of 100 individuals (29.7 ± 6.5 years, 78.1 ± 14.4 kg) examined 2-3 years following hamstring tendon anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Thirty-eight participants had concurrent meniscal pathology (30.6 ± 6.6 years, 83.3 ± 14.3 kg), which included treated and untreated meniscal injury, and 62 participants (29.8 ± 6.4 years, 74.9 ± 13.3 kg) were free of meniscal pathology. Magnetic resonance imaging of reconstructed knees was used to assess prevalence of tibiofemoral osteochondral pathologies (i.e., cartilage defects and bone ...
Objective: To compare 5-year change in femorotibial cartilage thickness in 121 young, active adults with an acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear randomized to a strategy of structured rehabilitation plus early ACL reconstruction (ACLR) or structured rehabilitation plus optional delayed ACLR. Design: 62 patients were randomized to early ACLR, 59 to optional delayed ACLR. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was acquired within 4 weeks of injury, at two- and 5-years follow-up. Main outcome was 5-year change in overall femorotibial cartilage thickness. Secondary outcomes included the location-independent cartilage ChangeScore, summarizing thinning and thickening in 16 femorotibial subregions. An exploratory as-treated comparison was performed additionally. Results: Baseline and at least one follow-up MRI were available for 117 patients. Over 5 years, a comparable increase in overall femorotibial cartilage thickness was observed for patients randomized to early ACLR (n = 59) and patients ...
The position of the femoral tunnel in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has been assessed on three dimensional CT (3D-CT) scan or in cadaveric study. However, these methods have some issues; 3D-CT scan has a concern on radiation exposure and cadaveric study is not easily available nor an in vivo test. The purpose of this study is to compare the position of the femoral tunnel aperture on conventional MRI and the outcomes after single bundle ACL reconstruction using free tendon Achilles allograft between transportal technique and transtibial technique in active young men ...
BACKGROUND:In many centres patients are routinely referred for physiotherapy after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. However, to date the role and amount of supervised physiotherapy required has not been clearly established. OBJECTIVE:To establish whether there was any difference in outcome between a group of patients who attended physiotherapy regularly after ACL reconstruction and a group who attended only infrequently. METHODS:Ten patients who had attended physiotherapy infrequently (mean 1.9 visits) during the first six months after ACL reconstructive surgery were matched for age, sex, graft type, and activity level and occupation before injury with 10 patients who had attended physiotherapy regularly (mean 26.5 visits). Outcome was assessed at 12 months using the Cincinnati knee rating system and the IKDC form. RESULTS:Compared with the regular physiotherapy group, patients in the minimal physiotherapy group had fewer symptoms (mean Cincinnati symptom score 46.2 v 43.4, p = ...
Background: The goal of this study is to provide outcomes data for ACL reconstruction surgeries to a single physician/surgeon and the patient. Outcomes data collected and analyzed for a single physician will provide the surgeon with information that can be given to patients seeking ACL reconstruction surgery. This information will help the patient know what to expect in terms of recovery, infection rate, and failure rate. It will also aid the surgeon in identifying areas of strength and weakness in his practice. To accomplish this goal a database was created using Filemaker Pro 7 software that allows for data entry at the point of care and basic data analysis. The analyzed data will be given to ACL reconstruction surgery candidates likely in the form of a handout or pamphlet during the informed consent process. Hypothesis: Collection of subjective and objective data should allow for a better understanding of the post-operative outcomes of a single surgeon for ACL reconstruction surgery and improve the
Discussion. Revision ACLR can pose a variety of surgical challenges. Evaluation of patient risk factors, prior surgical technique, prior tunnel placement, tunnel osteolysis, prior grafts utilized and implanted hardware must be considered prior to performing a revision ACLR case. In addition, the knowledge and ability to perform multiple ACLR surgical techniques is necessary to achieve desired outcomes. The modified MacIntosh over-the-top technique is one procedure that can be used in difficult revision ACLRs. What other techniques would you use? References:. Melby 3rd A. 2001.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a common surgical procedure done to replace a torn ACL in the knee. The torn ligament is removed and replaced with a tissue graft using arthroscopy. Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure where a camera is inserted into the joint and surgeons view the joint area on a video monitor. For an inexperienced orthopaedic intern, it is difficult to understand the procedure happening inside the knee from the view on the video monitor. The visual goal of this sequential illustration was to show clearly and concisely how the tissue graft is placed into the knee. This image is an excerpt from the sequential illustration. It shows how the various sutures should be threading into the knee for tissue graft placement. The work was created for print in a surgical textbook and we were limited to using pen and ink.. ...
Injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament are common. Surgical reconstruction is more prevalent than ever. This review article discusses treatment of the patient following surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament. Various phases of rehabilitation are discussed with emphasis on early return of passive motion, early weight bearing, bracing, kinetic chain exercises, neuromuscular electrical stimulation and accelerated rehabilitation. Although evidence exists for the treatment of the surgically reconstructed cruciate ligament, more is needed to better define specific timeframes for advancement. Evidence exists that many of these young individuals are not fully returning to unlimited high level activities. This review article presents some of the latest evidence regarding anterior cruciate ligament rehabilitation in an attempt to help the busy clinician understand and relate basic and clinical research to rehabilitation of a patient following reconstruction ...

Using a portable microcurrent device (Alpha-Stim 100 by Electromedical Products International, Inc, Mineral Wells, Texas), the Microcurrent Group received 100 microamperes of ...
Alarming underutilisation of rehabilitation after ACL reconstruction (ACLR) was highlighted in a recent study.1 These Australian trends are not unique, but support the emerging realisation that athletes may be overtreated with ACLR surgery, but undertreated when it comes to rehabilitation. We use the term undertreated to describe insufficient rehabilitation-either because athletes are discharged too soon or because the rehabilitation content is inadequate.. Among non-elite athletes with ACLR, only 5% received rehabilitation1 that followed evidence-based guidelines2: ≥6 months rehabilitation, including agility and landing exercises, and a structured return to sport (RTS). Most athletes were undertreated: 45% (50 of 111) never saw a clinician after the third postoperative month and 70% (78 of 111) never did agility or landing exercises.1 When clinical practice does not follow evidence-based guidelines, we are not offering the best to our athletes. ...
21 cases operated via arthroscopic method were eligible for the study. Mean age was 28.3±10.44. There were 14 (66.7%) male 7 (33.3%) female. A total of eight cases of laxity (36.36%) were identified - six males (75%) and two females (25%). Hamstring grafts accounted for three cases of laxity (37.5%) while BPTB accounted for five cases (62.5%). The mean follow-up was one and half years. Hamstring and bone patellar tendon bone graft were used in 6 (28.6%) and 15 (71.4%) cases respectively.. Conclusion ...

Female patients and patients who had undergone previous ACLR were more likely to change their expectations and cea …
ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) injuries are very common during sports activities. Anterior cruciate ligament surgeon and acl reconstruction surgeon Dr. Biggs performs ACL surgery in Westmead, Sydney.
Rehabilitation after cruciate ligament reconstruction has some special challenges, and it is helpful that patients understand why.
A method of replacing an ACL with a graft. The method provides for the drilling bone tunnels in a femur and a tibia. A replacement graft is provided having first and second ends. A biodegradable composite screw is provided. The screw is made from a biodegradable polymer and a bioceramic or a bioglass. At least one end of the graft is secured in a bone tunnel using the biodegradable composite screw.
|p|The purpose of this study was to investigate the responses elicited during aquatic and land rehabilitation to establish the comparison among parameters such as, range of motion (ROM), muscle strength, circumference of muscle mass and swelling. Thirteen individuals with an anterior reconstruction ligament with a concomitant meniscal injury participated in the study who established 2 groups: the land rehabilitation (LR), patients who were followed by a land program and the water rehabilitation (WR) whose patients had an aquatic program. Clinical evaluations were applied in the 0, 3, 6 and 9 weeks measuring the parameters. The patients from the WR reached the best results for all parameters which were evaluated. We concluded the aquatic rehabilitation allowed earlier function recuperation than the land program.|/p|
