Background/objective The Magellan Society is composed of > 150 high-volume fellowship-trained sports surgeons from four continents. These surgeons represent their regional sports organisations in travelling fellowships and are considered to be opinion leaders in their respective organisations. Prior to the 2014 Magellan Meeting in Arima, Japan, a survey was conducted to understand how Magellan ...

BACKGROUND Anatomic single bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is the current gold standard in ACL reconstructive surgery. However, placement of femoral and tibial tunnels at the anatomic center of the ACL insertion sites can be difficult intraoperatively. We developed a "virtual arthroscopy" program that allows users to identify ACL insertions on preoperative knee magnetic r...

PURPOSE To develop and evaluate an anatomic reconstruction procedure of the posterolateral and anteromedial bundles of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). TYPE OF STUDY Anatomic study and case series. METHODS The femoral attachment of the anteromedial and posterolateral bundles of the ACL was anatomically analyzed with 5 cadaveric knees. Using another 3 cadaveric knees, anatomic reconstru...

Since the rediscovery of anterolateral ligament, extra-articular augmentation (EA) has evolved from controversial to an essential consideration in contemporary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery. Anterolateral (ALL) and lateral tenodesis are 2 common methods. Indications among early adopters pioneering at surgery included revision (ACL) case, chronic ACL tear, high-grade pivot sh...

Positioning of the femoral tunnel during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is most crucial factor for successful procedure. Owing to inter-individual variability in intra-articular anatomy, it can be challenging obtain precise placement and ensure consistent results. Currently, three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) scans considered best method determining whether tunnels...

BACKGROUND Arthroscopic identification of the anteromedial (AM) and posterolateral (PL) bundle locations of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) has facilitated an improved quantitative description of ACL anatomy. Few studies have directly compared the biomechanical laxity of anatomic single-bundle (SB) versus anatomic double-bundle (DB) ACL reconstruction techniques based on precise anatomic d...

Background Traditional ACL reconstruction with non-anatomic techniques can demonstrate unsatisfactory long-term outcomes with regards instability and the degenerative knee changes observed with these results. Anatomic ACL reconstruction attempts to closely reproduce the patient's individual anatomic characteristics with the aim of restoring knee kinematics, in order to improve patient short and...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to report the results of anatomic single bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction by the two anteromedial portal method. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated the clinical results in 33 patients with ACL rupture who were treated by anatomic ACL reconstruction using the two anteromedial portal technique. The control group included 33 patients wi...

background: articular cartilage injuries are a common clinical problem at the time of acl reconstruction with an incidence rate of 16-46%. good results of acl reconstruction combined with the treatment of chondral lesions have been published in some studies. method: after statistical analysis 30 patients were selected and divided in 2 groups. theffirst group consisted of 15 patients wite isolat...
