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
Technical error
