Specialized Toolkit Series: ACL Reconstruction-All-Inside Quad Graft ACLR

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video demonstrates an all-arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using a 9mm carcerous tendon autograft in the left knee. Steps include drilling the femoral socket with the knee at 115 degrees of flexion, creating the tibial socket at 80 degrees, and ensuring optimal graft placement and tension. Suspension fixation buttons are used for both the femur and tibia. The procedure concludes with vigorous knee cycling and re-tensioning to ensure stability. Stability tests (Lachman, pivot shift, and anterior drawer) are negative post-surgery, confirming a successful graft placement without impingement.
