Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction failure and revision surgery: current concepts
Santiago Pache, Juan Del Castillo, Gilbert Moatshe, Robert F. LaPrade
Abstract
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is one of the most commonly performed procedures in orthopaedic sports medicine. Despite developments in understanding the anatomy and biomechanics of the knee joint, a fairly large subset of patients has ACLR failure. Outcomes after revision ACLR are historically inferior to primary ACLR. Thus, a systematic approach is necessary to identify all potential causes of failure and addressing them in conjunction with a revision ACLR to mitigate the risk of revision failure and to maximise improved patient outcomes.
