Knee Deep – all that’s new from the Warsaw Joint Congress 2023
Professor Mackay was delighted to be invited recently to join The Faculty at the 10th Anniversary Congress of Joint Preservation in Warsaw. Once again organised by Konrad Slynarski and Jacek Walawski it pulled together the experiences not only of International experts but also from a local Faculty as well. The anterior knee and patellofemoral joint…

Abstract: Patellar tendon ruptures may be considerably limiting, especially in younger and highly active patients. These injuries ultimately result in a complete inability to maintain extension of the knee, thereby placing strict impediment on physical activity. As a result, a durable repair construct via surgery is necessary to allow patients to return to their preinjury…

Abstract; Recent insights into the structure and function of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) of the knee has resulted in a recognition of its contribution in rotational control of the knee. Several ALL reconstruction techniques have been described in the literature. This article describes, with video illustration, a percutaneous repair technique using suture tape augmentation. A…

Abstract: The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is among the most commonly injured structures of the knee. Most cases are managed nonoperatively; however, grade III injuries and injuries associated with multiligament injuries to the knee are often managed surgically. MCL reconstruction procedures are the most widely used surgical option, but modern advancements have seen a renewed…
Read MoreA Novel Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Technique Using Internally Braced Semitendinosus Autograft (2018)
Abstract: Medial collateral ligament reconstruction is often performed in knees with multiligamentous injury, and numerous techniques have been previously described. A novel method of internally bracing and reconstructing the medial collateral ligament with a semitendinosus autograft is described. This provides several advantages, including reproducible isometric graft placement, optimized fixation strength, and internal bracing….. Read Paper
