Video Summary
The speaker discusses a study on combined ACL and anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction, highlighting its benefits in reducing secondary meniscectomy rates and improving knee stability. Evidence shows over 90% of acute ACL injuries also involve ALL damage. The study involved 70 professional athletes from various sports with an average four-year follow-up, demonstrating a low ACL revision rate of 5.7% and an 85% return-to-professional rate. Outcomes measured by IKDC and Lysholm scores were excellent. The findings support combined reconstruction, especially for elite athletes, to enhance knee function and reduce re-injury risk, addressing a gap in current literature.
