ARTHROSCOPIC REVISION ACL RECONSTRUCTION WITH IPSILATERAL AUTOLOGOUS HAMSTRING GRAFT

Nirav Soni, Jaimeen Jesalpura, Chirag Patel

Abstract :

The number of revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery has risen over the past few years. Revision ACL surgery is recommended for patients who have symptomatic objective pathological laxity after a failed primary ACL reconstruction. The choice of graft in revision surgery remains a debatable issue. Autografts constitute a popular choice as many authors recommend autografts both for primary and revision ACL reconstruction. We present a case of 34 year old man with operated case of acl reconstruction using BPTB graft 10 years ago with complaint of instability and difficulty in walking post trauma since 5 months with mri s/o complete acl tear for which he underwent revision acl reconstruction arthroscopically with ipsilateral hamstring graft( semi t and gracilis). The number of patients with recurrent instability after a failure of an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction has risen since last 10-15 years.
