This practical guide to surgical repair of failed or compromised anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions reviews the basics of diagnosing a failed ACL reconstruction, imaging and preoperative planning and common causes of ACL reconstruction failures.
Although anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has a high success rate, a substantial number of patients are left with unsatisfactory results. Revision ACL Reconstruction: Indications and Technique provides detailed strategies for planning and executing revision ACL reconstructions. Concise chapters by a leading group of international orthopedic surgeons cover the diagnosis of failed ACL reconstruction, patient evaluation, preoperative planning for revision ACL surgery and complex technical considerations.
