Introduction Augmented anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) techniques have been proposed to reduce the high reported re-injury rates and low rates of return to sport (RTS). This study reports clinical outcomes, RTS and re-injury rates in patients undergoing ACLR using autologous hamstrings augmented with suture tape. Materials and met...
Article
Avulsion of the proximal hamstring tendon from the ischial tuberosity is an uncommon but significant injury. Recent literature has highlighted that functional results are superior with surgical repair over non-surgical treatment. Limited data exists regarding the optimal rehabilitation regime in post-operative patients. The aim of this study was to...
Article
Background The treatment of symptomatic partial anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears remains controversial. This study investigated the clinical and functional outcome of patients undergoing selective posterolateral (PLB) or anteromedial (AMB) bundle reconstruction. Methods 55 consecutive patients underwent partial bundle reconstruction, of whic...
Article
Objectives To investigate whether an accelerated rehabilitation pathway could enhance strength and functional symmetry after ACLR, without affecting laxity. Design Randomised Controlled Trial. Setting Private rehabilitation clinic. Participants 44 patients randomized to an ‘Accelerated’ (n = 22) or ‘Control’ (n = 22) rehabilitation intervention....
Article
PurposeTo compare the clinical and radiological outcomes in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with, or without, LARS augmentation.Methods One-hundred and thirty-six patients that underwent double-bundle ACLR with (DB Hams/LARS, n = 67), or without (DB Hams, n = 69), LARS augmentation, were assessed clinically and...

... Isberg et al. (2006) evaluated the effect of early functional exercise on knee slack after ACL reconstruction in a prospective randomized controlled study, which found that early functional exercise did not increase knee slack 2 years after ACL reconstruction. In addition, Ebert et al. (2022) confirmed in a randomized controlled trial that early functional exercise after ACL reconstruction can improve knee joint strength without increasing graft relaxation. ...
... In this study, we used LARS artificial ligaments to perform ACL reconstruction. Although there have been reports on the spontaneous rupture of the LARS artificial ligament (34,35,44), this condition did not occur in our study. As shown in Table 6, in patients over the age of 50, the second most common complication was symptomatic tibial hardware after ACL reconstruction. ...
... Conversely, several biomechanical and clinical studies have demonstrated that double-bundle reconstruction was superior to single-bundle reconstruction in restoring the knee joint's anterior and rotational stability [10][11][12][13][14]. Moreover, compared with rates reported after single-bundle ACLR,double-bundle ACLR utilizing a hamstring autograft have lower graft rupture rates in patients [15][16][17][18]. Given this, we used doublebundle anatomic ACLR for ACL injuries. ...
