Article Synopsis
  • The surgical technique addresses chronic valgus laxity and rotational instability in the knee.
  • It involves a percutaneous method using a 2-bundle ligament reconstruction with the semitendinosus tendon.
  • The goal is to restore knee stability while maintaining its natural range of motion.

Article Synopsis
  • Injuries to the medial stabilizing structures of the knee are common and usually heal well with conservative treatment, although some may develop ongoing instability.
  • In certain cases, persistent valgus laxity can lead to complications, necessitating surgical intervention to restore knee stability.
  • This study proposes a new surgical technique that minimizes risks and maintains proper graft tension, focusing on the anatomical positioning of the graft between the medial collateral ligament and the posterior oblique ligament.

Introduction: During anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction procedures, anterolateral reconstruction (ALR) can also be performed to improve the knee's rotational stability. However, the effectiveness of this supplemental technique and its impact on the risk of retears and on the onset of secondary degenerative changesare controversial.

Hypothesis: ALR improves control over the pivot shift, reduces the retear risk and delays the appearance of secondary degenerative lesions.

Introduction: Lateral tenodesis (LT) is performed to limit the risk of iterative tear following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in at-risk patients. By adding an extra procedure to isolated ACL graft, LT reconstruction increases operating time and may complicate postoperative course. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the rate of early complications.

Background: A careful analysis of the reasons for ACL reconstruction failure is essential to selection of the optimal surgical revision technique designed to ensure good rotational stability and to minimise the risk of re-rupture.

Objective: To evaluate anterolateral ligament (ALL) stabilisation during revision ACL reconstruction.

Hypothesis: ALL stabilisation during revision ACL reconstruction provides good rotational stability without increasing the risk of complications.
