Reconstruction
Revision ACL Reconstruction
Revision of failed primary ACL reconstruction surgery. Although primary ACL reconstruction is a successful operation, some people may require a re-surgery due to the failure of 1st surgery.
Why does primary ACL surgery fail?
Graft failure occurs when the reconstructed ligament does not restore stability to the knee.
Causes
-
Recurrent or acute trauma
-
Biological failure of graft incorporation
-
Unrecognised additional ligamentous injuries (PLC, Medial collateral ligament)
-
Lower extremity malalignment
-
