The anterolateral ligament is recently recognized as an important structure in restoring rotational stability of the anterior cruciate ligament-deficient knee. Biomechanical and clinical studies confirmed the benefits of concurrent anterior cruciate ligament and anterolateral ligament reconstruction. However, present techniques mostly use hamstring tendons autografts and therefore additionally disrupt the knee biomechanics. The plantaris tendon is a well known and accessible graft and has excellent biomechanical properties for anterolateral ligament reconstruction. The present paper describes a new combined anterior cruciate ligament and anterolateral ligament reconstruction technique using plantaris tendon and semitendinosus tendon.Level of evidence V (Case report).

Outcomes of All-Inside Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction with Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis (ACLR + LET).

Background: Anatomic single-bundle ACL reconstruction (ACLR) produces good results when the graft and tunnel are positioned in the anatomic footprint on the femoral and tibial insertion sites in a more oblique orientation. The of the knee and its biomechanical role in controlling rotational laxity, internal rotation, and pivot shift has led to adding adjunctive procedures like extra-articular augmentation and lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) to decrease rotational laxity. We prospectively analyzed young adults with rotational instability and generalized laxity undergoing an arthroscopic single bundle ACLR with an additional LET procedure.

Purpose: To compare graft remodeling, as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and clinical outcomes between patients who underwent isolated anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) versus combined anterior cruciate ligament and anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ACLR + ALLR).
Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on patients who underwent primary ACLR with quadruple hamstring grafts between January 2019 and March 2022, with a minimum follow-up period of 2 years. Patients were categorized into two groups based on the addition of ALLR with tibialis anterior allografts: an isolated ACLR group and an ACLR + ALLR group.
Repair of Acute Grade-3 Combined Posterolateral Corner Avulsion Injuries Using a Transosseous Krackow Suture Pull-Through Technique.

Background: For complete disruption of the posterolateral corner (PLC) structures, operative treatment is most commonly advocated, as nonoperative treatment has higher rates of persistent lateral laxity and posttraumatic arthritis. Some studies have shown that acute direct repair results in revision rates upwards of 37% to 40% compared with 6% to 9% for initial reconstruction. In a recent study assessing the outcomes of acute repair of PLC avulsion injuries with 2 to 7 years of follow-up, patients with adequate tissue were shown to have a much lower failure rate than previously documented.

Recently, arthroscopic anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) repair has become popular, and favorable outcomes have been reported. In general, ATFL injuries are often caused by fibular attachment, and there are no reports of arthroscopic ligament repair of talar attachment injuries. We present a surgical technique for arthroscopic ligament repair via the anterolateral portal, accessory anterolateral portal, and far accessory anterolateral portal for ATFL injuries on the talar side.

The evidence to date still favors anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction over anterior cruciate ligament repair because ACL repair has a higher failure rate. However, there has recently been a resurgence of interest in primary ACL repair that has the potential to preserve its native tissue and improve its function. This Technical Note describes a double-bundle arthroscopic ACL repair combined with a modified Lemaire procedure.
