Technique Video (23 mins) Anatomic Approach to Revision ACLReconstruction
By: Freddie Fu
The anatomic approach is gaining popularity in ACLreconstruction. It is predominantly applied during primary ACLreconstruction. However, following the same principles as during primary surgery, the anatomic approach can also be applied during revision surgery. This video demonstrates...
Question/purpose
We therefore determined if allograft ACLreconstruction would still be less costly if all procedures were performed in a completely outpatient setting.
Conclusions
Allograft ACLreconstruction was more costly than autograft ACLreconstruction in the outpatient setting. The cost of the allograft outweighs the increased surgical time needed for harvesting an autograft.
Cost...
Multiple techniques are available for reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Controversy certainly exists as to which autograft is best and which methods of placement and fixation should be used.
Instances exist in which autograft is not available due to multiple reconstructions or in combined ligament injuries. In addition, after...
On Thursday, Sept. 27 at 5:30 p.m. CDT, during a live global Webcast from the Roger Clemens Institute for Sports Medicine and Human Performance at Memorial Hermann in Houston, Texas, orthopedic surgeon Mark Adickes, M.D. will perform an innovative ACLreconstruction surgery designed to hasten rehabilitation and recovery time.

Timing of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair: Now, Later, or Never?
Thomas L. Schwenk, MD (Journal Watch)
Functional outcomes were similar for immediate reconstruction and optional later reconstruction.
Elite athletes with ACL tears who perform intense cutting and pivoting maneuvers usually will need early ACLreconstruction, but nonelite athletes might do well without reconstruction....
In the United States, approximately 50,000 knee surgeries are performed each year for repairing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries (1). Tissue allografts frequently are used for ACLreconstruction, and septic arthritis is a rare complication of such procedures. This report describes four patients who acquired postsurgical septic arthritis probably associated...
Pain Management After ACLReconstruction

Abstract
The effectiveness of electrothermal shrinkage for the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficient knee was evaluated. There were fourteen patients in the study, with nine native ligaments, one patellar tendon graft and four quadrupled hamstring tendon grafts. All patients with a native ligament were found intraoperatively to have greater than 50%...
The ACL is probably the most commonly ruptured ligament in the knee. A full rupture is usually treated with surgical reconstruction followed by extensive rehabilitation. Here, respected orthopaedic surgeon Mr Richard Villar, discusses the procedure.
Glen D. Shapiro, MD FAAOS is a fellowship trained orthopedic surgeon with special interest in shoulder and knee reconstruction and winter sports medicine. Dr. Shapiro treats the entire musculoskeletal system, and has completed extensive training in advanced fracture care, reconstructive sports medicine, and reconstruction of the knee and shoulder.

Quad Tendon Graft for ACLReconstruction
Walter Shelton
Orthopedic Specialists of New Jersey features three fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons, offering the highest patient care through personalized treatment. Surgery specialties include: Shoulder
Conclusions
The described ACLreconstruction technique represents a promising alternative to previously described procedures in the treatment of children and adolescents with open growth plates. Using quadriceps tendon future graft availability is not compromised, as the most frequently used autograft-source, ipsilateral hamstring tendons, remains untouched.
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using quadriceps tendon...
