The purpose was to assess for clinical long-term outcomes, including incidence of graft failure, as well as signs and symptoms of knee osteoarthritis (OA) in this revision cohort at 10 years postoperatively. Methods: Patients were brought back to 6 sites for physical examination...
ACL reconstruction surgery uses a graft to replace the ligament. The most common grafts are autografts, using part of your own body, such as the tendon of the kneecap (patellar tendon) or one of the hamstring tendons. Another choice is allograft tissue, which is taken from a deceased donor...

We used a transphyseal technique with a hamstring tendon graft to treat 14 knees in 13 patients with a mean age of 13 years and 7 months. Mean injury-to-surgery interval was 6 months. Strict compliance with technical rules is required when using this technique. Bone tunnel diameter must ...

For ACL reconstruction the surgical technique (type of graft used, numbers of bundles, fixation technique, and tensioning protocol), and rehabilitation protocol were collected as well as approach and surgical technique for meniscal RAMP repair. ...
Signs of osteoarthritis were found in 26% of patients (16% were Ahlback stage 1 and 10% were stage 2). There was only one graft failure. These good outcomes are consistent with other published studies on combined ACL-LET. There was neither significant stiffness, nor a higher rate of ...
and mechanical properties more similar to the native ACL [74]. These properties of the graft depend on the phase of ligamentization, with the minimum graft strength occurring between 4 and 12 weeks postoperatively [65,74]. Comprehensive rehabilitation after operative ACL reconstruction is also param...
