Popis: | Revision anterior cruciate ligament surgery has become a more commonly performed operation. Reasons for this are an increased number of first-time operations, some with technical faults. Patients can also sustain a new injury severe enough to rupture their reconstructed ligament. Results of the revision operations are not as good as those of well executed primary reconstructions. Re-reconstruction is usually technically feasible but the surgeon has to be prepared to encounter many demanding technical problems. |
