  • Aug 2016
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the outcomes of a cohort of patients who have undergone a new surgical technique for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tunnel targeting using the footprint of the torn ACL as soft tissue markers. This is in the setting of anatomical ACLR with remnant preservation. Methods: This retrospective single ce...

THE LARS AUGMENTED 4-TUNNEL HAMSTRING "hYBRID" ACLR GRAFT CONSTRUCTION ALLOWS ACCELERATED REHABILITATION WITHOUT KNEE LAXITY - CASE SERIES of 111 PATIENTS after 2 YEARS
Article
Full-text available
  • May 2016
Purpose: This prospective case series is designed to determine the 2-year clinical and radiological outcomes of patients undergoing an ACL reconstruction using the ligament augmentation reconstruction system (LARS) 133 prosthesis as an augmentation device for a 4-tunnel autologous hamstrings graft, in the context of accelerated rehabilitation. Meth...

... Arthroscopic-assisted, double-tunnel ACLR was performed as previously described by Falconer et al [22,23]. The patients in the CONTROL group had the knee cycled 15 times with the graft under maximal manual tension. ...

... In order to improve patient's outcome and decrease the risk of reinjury, especially for patients with high activity levels, extra-articular procedure, such as anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction, as well as ACL reconstruction with autograft or allograft augmented with a synthetic device method have been proposed [17][18][19][20][21][22]. Early generations of synthetic intra-articular devices raised concerns about non-infectious knee joint synovitis with effusion, but a new generation, such as the ligament augmentation and reconstruction system (LARS; surgical implants and devices), have shown low rates of 0.2% [23]. ...
