Background: There is renewed interest in ACL repair following rupture with the development of new repair techniques. The aim of the audit was to assess outcomes and complications of ACL repair with Internal Brace Ligament Augmentation (IBLA) at minimum one year follow-up. Materials and methods: 68 consecutive patients who underwent Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) repair with IBLA were followed...

Objectives: Meniscal root tears have been shown to accelerate cartilage breakdown and increase the risk of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) if left unaddressed. Unfortunately, many patients with meniscal already associated chondromalacia which can impact surgical outcomes. The presence advanced in medial or lateral compartmentsof is a known contraindication performing repair; however, effect patel...

Objectives: The iliotibial band (ITB) autograft has been historically used for physeal-sparing ACL reconstructions (ACLR) in skeletally immature children (Modified-Macintosh/Micheli-Kocher technique), with an extra-articular component that replicates anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ALLR). procedure demonstrated excellent return to sports (RTS), patient-reported outcomes (PROs), and relat...

Objectives: Patella alta is a common anatomic risk factor in patients with patellofemoral instability and/or cartilage lesions, occurring nearly 25% of these patients. Distalization tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) effective patella association and lesions. Prior studies have suggested that increased patellar tendon length itself for recurrent instability, proposed the addition tenodesis via pla...

Objectives: ACL reconstruction using hamstring autograft (HA) has been found to have a high re-tear rate in risk patients including those with Pivot shift of 2 or higher and generalized ligamentous laxity (GLL). Because this, the use lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) gained traction sports community. Several studies shown lower graft re-tears addition LET is felt by many be necessary when...

We performed an in vitro study on twelve specimens of the foot and ankle from cadavera to determine whether varus malalignment of the talar neck alters the position of the foot and subtalar motion. An osteotomy of the talar neck was performed, and the specimens were studied with and without removal of a medially based wedge of bone. Removal of the wedge produced an average varus malalignment of...
