Presentation Transcript

  1. Ligament Reconstructions

  2. ACL Reconstruction - Kneecares The anterior cruciate ligament, abbreviated as ACL, is one of the vital ligaments that constitute the knee joint. These ligaments serve a crucial role in maintaining stability within the knee by connecting the femur (thigh bone) and the tibia (shin bone).The ACL plays a pivotal role in ensuring knee stability during various physical activities. ACL injuries are widespread, affecting athletes of all ages and competitive levels. Sports such as football, hockey, judo, wrestling, and basketball, which involve rapid movements and pivoting, are particularly prone to ACL injuries. It's worth noting that the incidence of ACL tears is higher in female athletes compared to their male counterparts.

  4. ACL Revision Surgery - Kneecares Why might an ACL reconstruction surgery fail? While it's true that only about 10% of grafts fail, understanding the reasons is crucial. The most frequent cause is technical issues during the initial surgery. The precision required in ACL reconstruction is well-known, and surgeons with more experience tend to achieve better outcomes. Misplaced graft reconstruction tunnels, whether too posterior on the tibia or too anterior on the femur, are still common culprits for failure.
