THE EFFECT OF LATERAL EXTRA-ARTICULAR TENODESIS IN AN ACL RECONSTRUCTE

Description

Performing a partial MMPH meniscectomy increased ATT and IR in response to AT and IR loads compared to the isolated ACL-R state in a cadaver model. However, when the LET procedure was performed after partial MMPH meniscectomy, a significant decrease was seen at all knee flexion angles except 90° in response to IR torque, and a significant decrease was seen at 15° knee flexion in response to AT load. LET may be a useful adjunct procedure following ACL-R with partial MMPH meniscectomy to reduce knee laxity.
