Abstract
Common injuries, such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, can result in both anterior and rotational instability of the knee. An arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) method has been shown to be effective in restoring anterior translational stability, but this could be followed by persistent rotational instability by means of residual pivot shifts or repeat instability episodes. Alternative techniques, such as a lateral extraarticular tenodesis (LET), has been proposed as a technique for preventing persistent rotational instability following ACLR. This article presents a case of a LET using an autologous central slip of iliotibial (IT) band with fixation to the femur using a 1.8-mm knotless all-suture anchor.
