Lateral Extra-articular Tenodesis With Cortical Suspensory Femoral Fixation and Suture Tape Augmentation.

ABSTRACT: This article aims to provide a new surgical technique for rotational instability in the setting of anterior cruciate ligament rupture. Two main groups of surgical procedures can be identified in the treatment of anterolateral knee instability: lateral extra-articular tenodesis and anterolateral ligament reconstruction. Although the importance of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in anterolateral complex injuries is well known, the superiority of lateral extra-articular tenodesis over anterolateral ligament reconstruction or vice versa has not yet been shown. Both techniques show improved outcomes and reduced graft failure rates. The presented procedure can be considered a modification of the technique first described by Lemaire. Better tensioning can be achieved through cortical su
