Summary
Single-stage revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction offers advantages over two-stage procedures. A novel "stacked screws construct" technique effectively manages malpositioned bone tunnels, simplifying revision ACL surgery.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Sports Medicine
- Biomaterials Engineering
Background:
- Revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is often necessary due to graft failure or tunnel malpositioning.
- Malpositioned or widened bone tunnels present significant challenges in revision ACL surgery, potentially leading to further failure.
- Current management strategies for faulty tunnels in revision ACL reconstruction can be complex and may require multiple surgical stages.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce and describe a simplified technique for managing malpositioned bone tunnels in revision ACL reconstruction.
- To present the
