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.
