University Hospital of Florence Researchers Have Published New Study Findings on Autografts (Anterior Cruciate Ligament Revision Using Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone Autograft and Lateral Extra-articular Tenodesis).

Researchers at the University Hospital of Florence have published a new study on autografts for anterior cruciate ligament revision surgery. The study highlights the challenges of ACL reconstruction revision and proposes a technique using a bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft combined with lateral extra-articular tenodesis. This approach aims to address issues such as tunnel widening and rotational knee instability, offering advantages in complex revision cases. The research emphasizes the importance of enhancing rotational knee stability to improve graft survival. [Extracted from the article]
