This often requires a second surgery to repair the broken patella. Taking tissue from the center of the patellar tendon can also cause problems. The body attempts to heal the area but sometimes produces too much scar tissue. The extra scar tissue that forms around the donor site may prevent ...

One advantage of this type of surgery is that the patellar tendon is quite similar to the ACL, so there is less adjustment that the body needs to do. However, when the section of patellar tendon is removed, a portion of the bone attachment must be removed along with it, which risks cau...
The original a priori protocol included the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK), Knee-Self Efficacy Scale (KSES), Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ), ACL-RSI and ACL quality of life questionnaire outcome measures. Due to the large number of eligible studies reporting these outcomes (149 ...
Surgical closure with stitches as usual, and we usually use 2 drainages for 24 h, one for graft donor zone and another intra-articular. Rehabilitation and postoperative protocol Patients who underwent isolated meniscal repair and those who underwent meniscal repair with ACL reconstruction completed ...

For those patients who do require surgical repair of the ACL, a graft will be used to replace the damaged section of ligament. This graft will use a section of tendon that can either be taken from the patient (autograft) or a cadaver (allograft). The most commonly used grafts include: ...
Conclusion: The presence of a repairable meniscal lesion or a multiple ligament injury is an indication for an early anatomic ACL reconstruction with concomitant treatment of the other injured structures (meniscus repair and ligament repair/augmentation). ...
The removal of the central third of the patellar tendon and its subsequent repair might cause a lowering of the patella and lead to increased sensitivity and pain during kneeling or s quatting127. In this regard, in our study, the 4SHT graft demonstrated the quickest return to sport, ...
(ACLR) using allograft material as the primary graft leads to worse functional outcomes and substantially higher rates of graft failure.8,9,16,17,19-21 Therefore, autograft techniques using bone–patellar tendon–bone and quadruple semitendinosus-gracilis tendon constructs have been...
