摘要:

As arthroscopic cruciate techniques have developed, procedures that result in significantly decreased morbidity have become more attractive. From a biomechanic perspective, taking both the semitendinosus and gracilis and using both in a double-looped technique has appeared to significantly increase the strength of the reconstruction. At the present time the Southern California Orthopedic and Sports Medical Group is not augmenting these reconstructions with extraarticular reconstruction. The author's technique is presented in this article.

摘要:

Braided polypropylene may be used to augment either soft-tissue autografts or allografts. The composite graft (ligament augmentation device [IAD] plus a biologic graft) is a strong graft from the outset that allows early stress. Once the biologic component strengthens the polypropylene is protected from fatigue failure.Following graft harvest, the IAD is sutured to it in a tubular fashion. The procedure may be performed by either open or arthroscopically assisted techniques. Standard ligament-surgery principles to prevent graft impingement and excessive graft excursion are adhered to. In the United States, the LAD is approved only to augment the central one third of the quadriceps-patellar tendon, although it is used worldwide to augment many autografts and allografts.
