A two-stage revision involves an initial bone grafting procedure to fill the tunnels, followed at least . To compare the outcomes of different bone graft materials for staged revision ACL reconstruction. Thomas et al. The bone graft is deployed, and plunger can be used to gently pack graft into tunnel. [40] reported the results of 87 patients who underwent revision ACLR with a follow-up of more than 3 years. A common belief of having 20mm of grafts within the femoral tunnel is backed mostly by hearsay rather than scientific proof. Reports suggest that a two-stage procedure is performed in only 8 to 9% of revision ACLRs [6]. For example, patients may require bone grafting of prior graft tunnels, and then have the ACL revision in a second stage. 3. Would you like email updates of new search results?

Hi you mentioned this was a staged procedure - any chance you can post the entire operative report without patient info? They found that a sCO2-sterilized bone allograft showed graft incorporation and remodeling through creeping substitution. Primary ACL reconstruction is recognized as a successful procedure, but failure has been shown to occur in approximately 10% of patients.

The patient also had an unrecognized complete disruption of her lateral meniscal root and excessively widened tunnels and sockets. Patients who have lost a meniscus or have a significant cartilage defect and have a failed ACL can, in some circumstances, require a meniscus transplant or cartilage replacement surgery. Thomas NP, Kankate R, Wandless F, Pandit H. Am J Sports Med. Revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is becoming more frequent, especially in specialized centers, because of the large numbers of primary ACL procedures performed. Would this qualify for CPT 29888 with a 52 mod? Unfortunately, both previous reconstructions were performed with allograft (cadaver) tissue, which has been shown to have significantly higher failure rates in young patients compared with autograft (the patient's own tissue). It may not display this or other websites correctly. Two-stage revision ACLR typically involves an initial bone-graft procedureto fill the widened or misplaced tunnelsand subsequent time to allow for the bone graft to heal sufficiently before the second stage is undertaken [5]. Arthrosc Tech. - figure four flexedpositionassist with providing the best femoral target; In theory, the sCO2-sterilized graft only provides osteoconductive properties to the grafted bone tunnels. Autograft bone, either from the iliac crest or anterior tibial plateau, is still considered the gold standard source for grafting because of its osteoconductive, osteoinductive, and osteogenic properties. Lateral tibial posterior slope is increased in patients with early graft failure after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. In addition, patients who receive revision ACL surgery might have other damaged ligaments. Major reasons to proceed with a two-stage strategy include tunnel-widening or other loss of bone stock, tunnel malposition, arthrofibrosis, active infection, concomitant meniscal deficiency, malalignment, and focal chondral lesions and/or other ligamentous laxity that may require a staged approach [8, 9] (Table1). California Privacy Statement, He founded Orthopaedic Specialists of North Carolina in 2001 and practices at Franklin Regional Medical Center and Duke Raleigh Hospital. Revision ACLR surgeries can be mainly divided into one-stage and two-stage procedures. Because of weak bone from bone-grafted tunnels or enlarged tunnels, the surgeons should pay careful attention to the fixation methods and consider double fixation in all revisions [37]. Yoon et al. Bone grafting is commonly reported using iliac crest autograft and allograft bone chips and dowels, while hamstring autograft and BPTB autograft were the most utilized grafts during the second-stage definitive reconstruction. Mayo Clinic has vast experience treating posterior cruciate ligament, lateral collateral ligament, posterolateral and posteromedial corner injuries, as well as medial collateral ligament injuries. Jul 22, 2009. and transmitted securely.

However, with precise indications, proper preoperative planning and operative-technique selection, two-stage revision ACLR can achieve favorable outcomes. [11] reported the results of 49 consecutive two-stage revision ACLRs in which the tibial tunnel was grafted (the bone graft was taken from the ipsilateral iliac crest) during the first stage, followed by an ACLR using various grafts and fixation methods for the second stage.

ACL reconstruction is surgery to replace a torn anterior cruciate (KROO-she-ate) ligament (ACL) a major ligament in your knee. The purpose of this article is to review the preoperative planning, surgical considerations, rehabilitation, and outcomes of two-stage revision ACL reconstructions and summarize the recent literature outlining treatment results. Tibial tunnel was found to be anterior, perhaps more inferior than would be in an anatomic ACL insertion.

The surgeon submitted CPT code 25431 alone. There are several procedures that can be performed in the ACL revision setting, such as anterolateral ligament reconstruction and iliotibial band tenodesis, to control that rotation. A revision procedure may be performed to improved knee function, correct instability, and facilitate a return to normal activities.

Sometimes we can perform a biplanar osteotomy to correct both planes of deformity at once. Background: No consensus is available regarding the optimal choice of bone graft material for bone tunnel augmentation in revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery. Numerous studies have reported that additional procedures (e.g., extra-articular tenodesis, anatomical anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction) could be a meaningful option in cases of revision ACLR to improved rotatory stability which is associated with re-injury. endobj

After 6 to 12weeks, failures tend to occur in mid-substance [11]. 19 Despite favorable outcomes after interference screw fixation, there are concerns related to graft biology, such as graft damage during screw insertion, a small tendon-to-bone contact area for graft integration, the presence of . In additional analyses, 24% (12/49) of patients were newly found to have concomitant knee injuries (e.g., chondral defects, meniscal lesions) at the time of the second-stage operative procedure.

Typically, a staged procedure requires an average delay of 4 to 6months to allow for the bone defect to heal [11, 18], likely subjecting patients to a prolonged period of knee instability and thus adding to the risk of meniscal injury, additional deterioration of muscle strength, and osteochondrosis [32]. doi: 10.1016/j.eats.2020.08.024.
