Q

What timeframe of returning to sport do ACL’s habe the highest graft re-rupture rate?

Returning to sport during the first 12 months following ACL-R have the highest re-rupture rate

  • very high > 30% early re-injury or contralateral injuries with allografts

Q

What is the rational of using a contra-lateral PT graft in ALC-R?

A

Shelbourne popularized this approach.

This process may allow greater equality R to L during rehabilitation

The use of contra-lateral PT for graft allows a dual rehabilitation program. You work a donor site program on the graft limb and then ACL protocol on the reconstructed limb, along with additional attention to ROM in this case.

19
Q

A
  1. Less than 2 cm defect size
  2. Preoperative duration of sx less than 18 months
  3. No prior surgical treatment
  4. Younger patient age
  5. Higher levels of activity (pre and post surgery)
