Core Tip

Core Tip: Residual rotatory instability is present in a significant percentage of patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Regardless of the injured structure of the anterolateral complex involved, whether the anterolateral ligament itself or different iliotibial band layers, the combination of a lateral extra-articular tenodesis technique has proven to be a safe, easily reproducible, and effective practice in reducing tibial internal rotation, improving ACL graft survival, reducing the overall reintervention rate, and improving the rate of return to previous athletic activity.
