They recommended that two-stage reconstruction could be safely performed at 24weeks after bone grafting by the iliac-bone block-grafting technique. They noted that although additional lateral tenodesis did not influence the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score in a multicenter study of 163 revision ACLRs, the proportion of negative pivot shifts was 80% with lateral tenodesis plus revision ACLR versus 63% without tenodesis. [40] reported the results of 87 patients who underwent revision ACLR with a follow-up of more than 3 years.

The two-stage group contained significantly more patients with meniscal and chondral pathology compared with the primary ACLR group. A tamp is used to further compress the graft. The new ligament was fixed to the tibia by a metallic screw and to the femur by a bioabsorbable screw. 8 Therefore, one should avoid angles <40 to 45 . 2005 Nov;33(11):1701-9. doi: 10.1177/0363546505276759.

Sometimes we can perform a biplanar osteotomy to correct both planes of deformity at once. Some authors suggest that an accelerated rehabilitation program for revision ACLR is not appropriate because of weaker initial graft fixation [20]. There are numerous challenges to revision ACL surgery with regard to graft selection, timing of surgery, and whether or not the surgery can be performed in a single operation or multiple-staged surgeries. Arthroscopic Revision of Attenuated Anterior Cruciate Ligament Graft With Enlarged Bone Tunnels Using Injectable Bone Graft Substitute. Autograft was used in 4 studies: iliac crest bone autograft (ICBG, n = 3) and tibial bone autograft (TBA, n = 1). %PDF-1.5 Two-stage revision ACLR typically involves an initial bone-graft procedureto fill the widened or misplaced tunnelsand subsequent time to allow for the bone graft to heal sufficiently before the second stage is undertaken [ 5 ].

For an allograft, a single bone dowel approximately 1mm larger than the diameter of the tunnel is used and placed using a bone tamp for a press-fit technique, ensuring that the entire tunnel is filled [4]. Modified Transtibial Versus Anteromedial Portal Technique in Anatomic Single-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.
