Abstract:[Objective] To investigate the surgical technique for treatment of re-ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) after primary reconstruction. [Methods] A total of 5 patients underwent revised ACL reconstruction combined with modified Lemaire surgery for reruptured ACL after primary reconstruction. The patient was placed in supine position, underwent arthroscopic examination to confirm the re-rupture of the reconstructed ACL. After the location and diameter of the inner apertures of the tunnels were investigated, the femoral and tibial bone tunnels were debrided. The hamstring tendon harvested contralaterally or peroneal longus tendon ipsilaterally was folded, and inserted into the hollow LARS ligament to prepare the graft with diameter at least 1~2 mm larger than the previous graft. The graft was introduced into the tunnels and the joint cavity and fixed with metal interference screws respectively in proper tension. Subsequently, the modified Lemaire surgery is performed. A 6-8cm skin incision was made along the line between Gerdy's tubercle and the lateral epicondyle of the femur, and the iliotibial band (ITB) was cut to form a bundle 8-10cm in length and 1cm in width with intact attachment on Gerdy tubercle at the distal end, while the free proximal end stitched. The free end of ITB bundle was passed under the lateral collateral ligament, introduced into the bone tunnel on femoral insertion of anterolateral ligament (ALL) and fastened with interference screw in proper tension. [Results] All the 5 patients were operated on successfully with operation time of (90.2±30.1) min, intraoperative bleeding of (50.2±30.1) mL, and got incision healed well, without serious complications, such as infection, vascular and nerve injury. Twelve months after revision surgery, 3 patients returned to sports activity, and 2 patients did not regain the sports capacity, and 1 patient had a slight knee snap. According to the modified HSS score, the clinical results were marked as excellent in 4 and good in 1 patient 12 months after surgery. After operation, Kneelax 3 measured the bilateral difference of anteriorposterior displacement ≤2 mm. [Conclusion] ACL revision reconstruction combined with modified Lemaire surgery does effectively restore knee anteroposterior stability, improve rotational stability, reduce graft re-failure chance, and achieve satisfactory function for failed ACL reconstruction with high risk.
