2. 1. Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction : Anatomic and biomechanical considerations of graft placement and fixation

   Author : Lars Good; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : This study, comprising 7 separate papers, is concerned with the mechanical causes of graft failure after intraarticular reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The study is predominantly experimental in design, but a clinical follow-up is also included to test a causal hypothesis of secondary graft elongation. READ MORE

   Abstract : An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is one of the most common injuries to the knee joint. It is also one of the most researched areas within sports medicine, orthopedics and physical therapy. READ MORE

5. 3. Revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction - current evidence, predictors and outcome

   Author : Eleonor Svantesson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; anterior cruciate ligament; ACL; reconstruction; revision; medial collateral ligament; MCL; knee;

   Abstract : Despite extensive research in the field of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, primary ACL reconstruction failure and a high re-rupture rate remain a problem. Far too many patients experience a second devastating hit – the need to undergo a revision ACL reconstruction. READ MORE

   Abstract : Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common orthopedic diagnoses. It is also one of the most researched areas in orthopedic surgery, with well over eleven thousand publications. READ MORE

7. 5. Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction - Early predictors of outcome

   Author : Thorkell Snaebjörnsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Knee; ACL; registry; hamstring tendon; anterior cruciate ligament; patellar tendon; graft failure; graft fixation; graft diameter; autograft; revision; outcome;

   Abstract : The rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a serious injury, often resulting in functional instability and increased laxity of the knee joint. Patients suffering an ACL injury run the risk of further complications, such as meniscal or cartilage injury in the short term and degeneration of the knee joint in the long term. READ MORE
