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. Samuelsen BT, Webster KE, Johnson NR, Hewett TE, Krych AJ. [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.

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. I forgot to mention he did an allograft bone graft. 2005 Nov;33(11):1701-9. doi: 10.1177/0363546505276759. Few studies report the outcomes of two-stage revision ACLR alone.

Ramp tears can lead to rotational instability and put excessive strain on the ACL graft, causing it to fail. However, the results of the postoperative side-to-side differences of the Lachman test as well as the pivot-shift test were significantly superior in group A (<12mm). Pre-op imaging shows excessive tunnel and socket widening and no malalignment with normal slope. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction rates have increased over the past 20years to roughly 200,000 per year [1]. My surgeon disagrees with me and is firm that the harvest of the bone graft is not separately reportable. Only 44 patients underwent a staged revision ACLR after bone grafting and 10 patients refused to undergo a revision ACLR. ACL reconstruction is surgery to replace a torn anterior cruciate (KROO-she-ate) ligament (ACL) a major ligament in your knee. 2017 Oct;475(10):2459-2468. doi: 10.1007/s11999-017-5278-9. Two years after the surgery, she resumed all activities and plays collegiate volleyball. With the rising number of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions, revision ACL reconstructions are becoming increasingly common. %PDF-1.5 Data Trace Publishing Company Orthopaedic Specialists of North Carolina.

Additionally, Brown and Carson [20] regarded patients with a bone tunnel of <15mm diameter as good candidates for grafting.

I added CPT code 20902 after reviewing the operative note, because the surgeon obtained the bone graft from a distant site via a separate incision. They observed that the the failure rate was 10.3% in the one-stage revision group and 6.1% in the two-stage group. $.' I would look at billing 29877 for the debridement of the soft tissue. performed a CT scan at 4months to assess healing of the bone graft in the tibial tunnel. We routinely obtain hip-to-ankle AP X-rays to assess for any coronal plane malalignment. Economic Reliable Technique for Tunnel Grafting Using Iliac Crest Bone Graft in Two-Staged Revision Anterior Cruciate Ligament Surgery. doi: 10.1016/j.eats.2021.11.019. The goal of revision ACLR is to improve knee stability and activity levels, but the outcomes are reported to be inferior to those of primary ACLR [3]. The second stage of the revision ACLR was performed a minimum of 3 months later, after obtaining a CT demonstrating adequate filling of the tunnels using a hamstring autograft though a transtibial drilling technique. 2021 Nov 16;10(12):e2699-e2708. A tamp is used to further compress the graft. Drilling a tibial tunnel at 40 degrees yields an average tunnel length of 45.442.18 mm. 6 0 obj Not applicable, this is a review article. Bookshelf 2015;43:2510. Reports suggest that a two-stage procedure is performed in only 8 to 9% of revision ACLRs [6]. eCollection 2022 Mar. A Comparison of 2 Drilling Techniques on the Femoral Tunnel for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg. One of the main factors associated with tunnel enlargement is malposition of the tibial tunnel, which likely leads to graft micromotion. Native Anterior Cruciate Ligament Obliquity Versus Anterior Cruciate Ligament Graft Obliquity. The bone graft is deployed, and plunger can be used to gently pack graft into tunnel. Am J Sports Med 47:324333, Chmielewski TL, Hurd WJ, Rudolph KS, Axe MJ, Snyder-Mackler L (2005) Perturbation training improves knee kinematics and reduces muscle co-contraction after complete unilateral anterior cruciate ligament rupture. In 4 studies, the authors reported the time interval between first and second surgeries, with an average of 6.1 months for ICBG compared with 8.7 months for allogenic and synthetic grafts. Results: At Mayo Clinic, we sometimes correct the alignment before performing revision ACL surgery, to prevent graft failure. 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. proprioceptive reflex leading to a functional extension loss while the patient is awake. Epub 2005 Aug 10. Punch-biopsy specimens of the augmented tunnels were taken at the two-stage procedure, and histologic examination included quantitative analysis of the area of immature bone formation, lamellar bone, and bone marrow. The prior skin incision is typically used to expose the distal portion of the tibial tunnel. In the immediate postoperative period, the weakest part of any ACLR is the fixation. At a mean follow-up of 7.9years, clinical scores following revision ACLR did not differ significantly according to the tunnel size. Louis et al.
