Knee Injury: ACL Reconstruction, Gender Issues in ACL Injury, and Meniscus Repair

In the past, orthopaedic surgeons have relied on the classic article by Daniel and colleagues[1] in counseling patients on what to expect after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery. Daniel and colleagues reported that patients...
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) originates from the tibial plateau just medial and anterior to the tibial eminence. The ACL tracts from the tibia superiorly, laterally, and posteriorly to its insertion on the posterior aspect of the medial wall of the lateral femoral condyle. The ACL is composed of 2...
Technique Video (23 mins) Anatomic Approach to Revision ACL Reconstruction
By: Freddie Fu
The anatomic approach is gaining popularity in ACL reconstruction. It is predominantly applied during primary ACL reconstruction. However, following the same principles as during primary surgery, the anatomic approach can also be applied during revision surgery. This video demonstrates...
Along with ganglion cysts arising from the alar folds that cover the infrapatellar fat pad, ACL ganglion cysts (also commonly referred to simply as ACL cysts) make up the vast majority of intra-articular ganglion cysts of the knee. These are uncommon findings, with the prevalence of ACL ganglion cysts has...
Knee stability assessment on anterior cruciate ligament injury: clinical and biomechanical approaches
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is common in knee joint accounting for 40% of sports injury. ACL injury leads to knee instability, therefore, understanding knee stability assessments would be useful for diagnosis of ACL injury, comparison between operation treatments...

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%...
My thoughts about my recent ACL surgery (pre and post op). Some of it is funny and everybody will enjoy. Some will only really be helpful for those who are about to experience the same procedures that I have.
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 ACL reconstruction, and septic arthritis is a rare complication of such procedures. This report describes four patients who acquired postsurgical septic arthritis probably associated...

- pivot shift assesses degree of incapacitating dysfunction in knee with ACL deficiency and secondary restraint deficiency;
- pivot-shift test reproduces event that occurs when knee gives way becuase of loss of ACL;
- there is a forward...
We made a prospective arthroscopic study of 106 skeletally mature male sportsmen with an average age of 28.35 years (16.8 to 44) who presented with an acute haemarthrosis of the knee due to sporting activities. We excluded those with patellar dislocations, radiographic bone injuries, extra-articular ligamentous lesions or a previous...
Question/purpose
We therefore determined if allograft ACL reconstruction would still be less costly if all procedures were performed in a completely outpatient setting.
Conclusions
Allograft ACL reconstruction was more costly than autograft ACL reconstruction in the outpatient setting. The cost of the allograft outweighs the increased surgical time needed for harvesting an autograft.
Cost...
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most commonly injured ligaments of the knee. Injuries occur predominately in a young and sports-active population. Many patients are left with significant disability following injury to the ACL. Understanding and preventing associated meniscal pathology is the key to management of this...
An anterior tibial spine (ATS) fracture, with or without displacement, was created in the right knee of 8-week and 22-23-week-old rabbits. After 4 weeks of cast immobilization and 8 weeks of free cage activities, the animals were killed. A method to measure anterior knee laxity in rabbits was developed using...
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 ACL reconstruction, but nonelite athletes might do well without reconstruction....
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.
