None of the auto grafts could reproduce the size of the tibial ACL footprint. For clinical relevance, ST-G graft is recommended in order to reproduce the native size of the ACL in anatomical ACL reconstruction with auto graft. 展开
This study examined the change in femoral stress caused by graft tunnels drilled for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Using a computational model, the number, geometry and position of the graft tunnels exits were varied to determine the effect on bone stress.A finite element model ...
These data summarize the results of five panels on anatomic ACL reconstruction. The most popular graft choice among surgeons for primary ACL reconstructions is hamstring tendon autograft, with allograft being used most frequently employed in revision cases. Nearly half of the surgeons surveyed performed...
So here I am again faced with learning how to walk for the 5th time in my life. This will be my second ACL reconstruction on the same knee. I feel more … ACL, PCL and MCL surgery I had surgery to reconstruct my ACL and PCL with a cadaver graft and also repaired my MCL on July...
The influence of femoral technique for graft placement on anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using a skeletally immature canine model with a rapidly... Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate 3 different femoral techniques of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using a sk...
In this experimental study, the authors evaluated the biomechanical properties of the femoral press-fit graft fixation technique in ACL reconstruction. 20 fresh frozen distal femurs, patellae and patellar ligaments were used from 10 cadaver specimens. Three bone-patellar tendon grafts of 10mm width we...
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...
What Is the Prognosis for an ACL Tear? The success rate for surgical reconstruction of an ACL injury is between 75% and 95%. Operations fail because the graft fails to heal or reinjury occurs.Symptom of ACL Tear Knee Pain If you tear your ACL, you may hear a pop. You will also noti...
“For more than 40 years published studies have shown that the Quadriceps tendon approach to ACL reconstruction can provide significant advantages when compared to Hamstring Patellar or Allograft (cadaver) ACL transplants, however the surgical complexity associated with harvesting and securing the Quadricep...
Better 4-year outcomes for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with double-layer versus single-layer bone-patellar tendon-bone allografts To evaluate the results of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using a double-layer bone-patellar tendon-bone (DBPTB) graft. Between 2010 and 2011, 9.....
