Knee Lateral Extra-articular Tenodesis Decreases In-situ Force in the ACL-Dr. Justin W. Arner, M.D.

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the effects of lateral extra-articular tenodesis on ACL reconstruction and rotatory knee instability. The study aimed to measure in-situ forces in the ACL, anterolateral capsule, and the lateral extra-articular tenodesis graft. The researchers used nine cadaveric knees and performed two loading conditions with robotic testing. The results show that lateral extra-articular tenodesis decreases the in-situ force in the ACL and may have a protective effect if there is an injury to the area. Additionally, the force in the graft is significantly higher with internal rotation compared to the intact capsule. The speaker concludes by emphasizing the need for further clinical studies on long-term outcomes. (Word count: 106)
