ACL Repair is a valid alternative to ACL Reconstruction in appropriately chosen patients

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine | 2026 | Ross Radic

Objective: In appropriately selected patients, primary repair of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) has demonstrated an alternative to ACL reconstruction, potentially permitting an accelerated early functional recovery and avoiding the graft site morbidity associated with an autograft harvest. This study sought to investigate clinical outcomes, RTS and re-injury rates in pati...

Poster 14. A Prospective, Randomized Study Comparing the Modified Ellison and Modified Lemaire Techniques for Extraarticular Tenodesis in Primary ACL Reconstruction

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine | 2026 | Kostas Economopoulos

Objectives: Current research confirms the addition of a lateral extraarticular tenodesis (LET) in high-risk patients undergoing primary ACL reconstruction decreases the rate of graft failure. However, the optimal LET technique remains unknown. The modified Lemaire LET is currently considered the gold standard when used with ACL reconstruction. The modified Ellison technique is...

Over the Top ACL Reconstruction Technique Combined with Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction for An Unstable Chronic ACL Rupture: A Case Report

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine | 2025 | Ludwig Andribert Powantia Pontoh, Ichsan Dana Patih

Introduction: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a common injury, particularly among athletes involved in high-impact sports. It often results from sudden changes in direction, causing instability, pain, and functional limitations. Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction is now the gold standard for treatment of ACL injury, many techniques has been introduced with excellent re...

Comparison of Contralateral ACL Rupture Versus ACL Graft Rupture in Australian Netballers After ACL Reconstruction

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine | 2024 | Conor Honeywill, Lucy Salmon, Leo Pinczewski, Keran Sundaraj

Background: Netball is a popular sport worldwide, particularly for women. However, its nature puts players at high risk for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Purpose: To determine (1) the prevalence of ACL graft rupture and contralateral ACL (CACL) rupture in Australian female netballers after ACL reconstruction (ACLR) and (2) the rate of return to sports (RTS) and psych...

A comparative study of functional outcome of transtibial and transportal femoral tunneling techniques for arthroscopic ACL reconstruction

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine | 2020 | Sudeep Date

Introduction: Acl reconstruction has revolutionarised the sports medicine world lately. Various methods of reconstruction have been advocated in the literature recently. ACL injury results in severe morbidity to an athletes career. The aim for anatomical reconstruction is to harvest the ACL graft at a more anatomical location on both the tibia and the femur. The purpose of this...
