December 2024
Introduction: Recent advancements in surgical techniques have led to renewed interest in ACL repair, particularly for acute, proximal tears. Suture tape augmentation (STA) has emerged as a promising technique to support ACL healing while preserving native tissue and potentially improving outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of ACL repair with STA in patients with acute, proximal ACL tears.

- Ultrasound imaging plays a crucial role in musculoskeletal medicine, especially for sports and surgical procedures, but it has limitations like reliance on the operator and unclear images.
- The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning (DL) can improve ultrasound imaging by enhancing diagnosis and providing better prognostic tools for conditions like hip dysplasia and knee osteoarthritis.
- Recent advancements in AI/DL techniques, such as tissue segmentation and localization, could significantly increase the accuracy and efficiency of ultrasound-guided surgeries in treating musculoskeletal diseases.
We describe a case of a failed anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction that underwent revision surgery. Lachman, anterior drawer and valgus stress tests were all grade 3, indicating ACL and medial collateral ligament (MCL) insufficiency. Posterior tibial slope (PTS) was 18° and coronal alignment was 5° valgus.
