Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Augmentation With Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate, Demineralized Bone Matrix, and Suture Tape Shows No Difference in Outcomes-But Faster Functional Recovery-Versus Non-augmented Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Sep 24
Abstract; Purpose: To compare outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), demineralized bone matrix (DBM), and suture tape augmentation (STA) versus ACLR without biological augmentation or STA. Read paper online
Read More“MCL Repair, Isolated Suture-tape Bracing and No Repair for Grade III MCL Tears During ACL Reconstruction Have Similar Outcome for Combined ACL With MCL Injury: A Randomized Controlled Trial.” Sep 24
Abstract: Purpose: Aim of the study was to compare various MCL management strategies(repair vs isolated suture-tape bracing vs no repair) combined with ACL reconstruction and analyse results of MCL sub-types (femoral/mid-substance/tibial-sided tears) occurring at distinct levels. Read paper online
Read MoreAnterior Cruciate Ligament Repair Results in Similar Patient Reported Outcome Measures as Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Systematic Review of Prospective Comparative Studies. Sep/24
Abstract: Purpose: To investigate the patient-reported outcomes (PROs), knee stability, and complications in prospective comparative studies of patients undergoing augmented anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair compared to ACL reconstruction (ACLR). Methods: A literature search was performed according to the 2020 PRISMA guidelines. Human clinical studies of level I-II evidence comparing PROs, knee stability and complications…
Read MoreMedial collateral ligament section during unicompartmental knee arthroplasty managed by direct repair and fascia lata augmentation autograft: a case report and surgical technique
Background: The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is crucial for ensuring implant stability after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). Intraoperative MCL lesions can cause valgus instability, affecting function and implant longevity, and thereby negatively impacting the patient’s outcome. Every surgeon who performs UKA may encounter this complication in their daily practice. In this context, this case report…
Read MoreNative Anterior Talo-Fibular Ligament Tensile Characteristics Compared to Allograft, Suture Tape, and Copolymer Augmentation Elements: A Biomechanical Study. Sep 24
Abstract: Surgical augmentation methods have been introduced to the Modified Broström (MB) technique to support native anterior talo-fibular ligament (ATFL) healing and function. This study aimed to investigate the isolated biomechanical performance of common MB augmentation elements, including allograft, suture tape, and copolymer, compared to native ATFL.Six cadaveric feet were dissected, isolating the ATFL from…

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the time-zero biomechanical properties (stiffness, displacement, and load at failure) of bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) grafts used for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with and without suture tape augmentation as a means to determine the potential clinical benefit of this technique. Methods: Eight juvenile porcine knees underwent…
Read MoreAnterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Suture Tape Augmentation (2018)
Abstract: The advent of suture tape augmentation has led to increased use in knee, elbow, and ankle ligament repairs and reconstructions. Recent biomechanical analysis of the use of suture tape augmentation have shown superior strength characteristics compared with repair or reconstruction alone. Despite its increased use in extra-articular ligament procedures, its use as an augment…
Read MorePrimary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair With Augmentation (2018)
Abstract: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are usually managed by reconstruction with autograft or allograft, but primary repair in carefully selected patients is a reasonable option. Proximal avulsions presenting early with excellent tissue quality are amenable to repair and healing. Restoration of native ACL preserves its proprioceptive and kinematic functions….. Read paper

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common among adolescent athletes and are rising with increased participation in higher level athletics at earlier ages. In these young patients, often with open physes, soft tissue grafts continue to be the primary graft choice for ACL reconstruction. Reinjury continues to be a concern in this high-risk age group,…
