Outcomes After Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Suture Tape Augmentation and an Accelerated Rehabilitation Protocol: A Retrospective Cohort Study (02/25)
Abstract/Background: Although posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction is often performed for grade 3 PCL injuries, the effectiveness of different surgical techniques and rehabilitation protocols is a topic of debate. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare functional outcomes and residual instability in patients who underwent PCL reconstruction with versus without suture…

Abstract/Purpose: To assess the current literature surrounding suture tape augmentation (STA) of posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (PCLR) with additional evaluation of PCLR+STA in clinical practice. Methods A systematic search of 3 databases (PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science Core Collection) was performed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines and was…

Abstract; The posterolateral corner (PLC) of the knee is the main restraint to varus forces of the knee as well as posterolateral rotation of the tibia relative to the femur. Primary PLC repairs have been associated with a high failure rate in past literature. However, with modern improved arthroscopic instrumentation and devices, there has been…

Abstract: Objective Stepwise reconstruction of knee stability and physiological kinematics in acute knee dislocation. IndicationsThe operative technique is demonstrated in a case of multiligamentous injury of the knee with involvement of both cruciate ligaments and additional medial and lateral peripheral injuries (type IV according to Schenck classification).ContraindicationsCritical soft tissue conditions, infections, old age, obesity, lack…
Read MorePosterior cruciate ligament repair with suture tape augmentation: a case series with minimum 2-year follow-up (2021)
Abstract: Purpose: The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is an important stabilizer of the knee and can be damaged in up to 20% of ligamentous injuries. Numerous techniques for surgical treatment have been described in the literature with none shown to be clearly superior. The aim of this study was to assess the 2-year outcomes of…
Read MorePercutaneous Medial Collateral Ligament Repair and Posteromedial Corner Repair With Suture Tape Augmentation (2020)
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…
