Revision ACL Surgery
After you have an ACL reconstruction you lead a normal injury free return to all activities. It is an unfortunate fact that sometimes even after you have your ACL reconstructed, that you can do something to re-injure the ligament and require another reconstructive surgery.
Many times if you re-injure your ACL, another reconstruction is needed. If this is the case, well over 50% of the time the reconstruction requires two surgeries. The first surgery requires doctor to remove the old screws from the tunnels (figure 1), repair any damage that occurred to the other structures of the knee and to use donor bone plugs (figure 3) to graft into the tunnels (figure 2). After a sufficient period of time to allow for proper healing of the bone grafting, Doctor will then perform the second phase of the reconstruction. This surgery consists of drilling new tunnels and then reconstructing the ACL again….
Causes of Failure of ACL Reconstruction
- Incorrect Technique
- Incorrect tunnel Placement
- Graft fixed in lax position
- Synthetics…
Steps in Planning ACL Revision
- Determine the cause of Failure
- Choose the appropriate graft
- Autograft
- Quadriceps tendon
- Patellar tendon – same or opposite side
- Semi-t opposite side
- Allograft
- Patellar tendon
- Achilles tendon
- synthetic
- Plan the hardware removal
- Plan tunnel placement
- Large tunnel….
Revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is indicated for selected patients with recurrent instability after a failed primary procedure. The cause of the failure must be carefully identified to avoid pitfalls that may cause the revision to fail as well. Associated instability patterns must be recognized and corrected to achieve a successful result. The choice of graft, the problem of retained hardware, and tunnel placement are the major challenges of revision ACL reconstruction.
The patient must have reasonable expectations and understand that the primary goal of surgery is restoration of the ability to perform activities of daily living, rather than a return to competitive athletics. The results of revision ACL reconstructions are not as good as those after primary reconstructions; however, the procedure appears to be beneficial for most patients.
