Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is one of the most common procedures in sports medicine. Several areas of controversy exist in ACL tear management which have engaged surgeons and researchers in debates towards identifying an ideal approach for these patients.This instructional review discusses the principles of ACL reconstruction in an attempt to provide guidelines and initiate ...

Despite the marked advances in treatment and highly predictable success of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, an approximate 10% to 15% failure rate is noted in the literature. The mechanism of failure is often difficult to ascertain and is often multifactorial. A strong patient-physician relationship must be established to proceed with revision ACL reconstruction. After the decis...

The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) lesions with Tanner stage ?4 has been increasing in children. To stabilize the knee, different surgical techniques have developed for ACL reconstruction pediatric population. use a hybrid anatomic technique, intra-epiphyseal femur and transphysis tibia, recommended as technique choice to reconstruct these patients. Despite favorable results, thi...

Congenital absence of anterior cruciate ligament is highly uncommon occurrence. It has since been documented as a standalone anatomical entity or, more frequently, in conjunction with other congenital anomalies. Surgical treatment for this patient population only reported very few cases. In article, we share our experience managing case unilateral deficiency (ACL) 13 years old female by physeal...

BACKGROUND Neuromuscular and proprioceptive training programs can decrease noncontact anterior cruciate ligament injuries; however, they may be difficult to implement within an entire team or the community at large. HYPOTHESIS A simple on-field alternative warm-up program can reduce noncontact ACL injuries. STUDY DESIGN Randomized controlled trial (clustered); Level of evidence, 1. METHOD...

An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury may be diagnosed by clinical examination and radiological investigation using magnetic resonance imaging or by arthroscopy. 1,2 Based on our experience, the ACL tear in concomitant chronic ACL and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) deficient knees may produce knee laxity, which is more difficult to assess on clinical examination, which in turn may affec...

Background: Jumping and landing are common activities in soccer, i.e., associated with Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries in the players, especially when experiencing fatigue. The current study aimed to compare the kinematics of the lower limb joints in jump-landing maneuver among soccer players with and without a history of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Methods: Among acti...
