Abstract
Background: Persistent anterolateral rotational knee instability (ALRI) with positive pivot shift test of varying grades is one of the commonest causes of ACL reconstruction (ACLR) failure even after adequate anatomic reconstruction, graft fixation and postoperative rehabilitation. So a lot of studies have discussed the role of anterolateral complex (ALC) reconstruction either non-anatomic by lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LEAT) or anatomic by anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ALLR) in addition to anatomic single bundle (SB) ACLR in controlling ALRI.
Aim: To evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes of combining LEAT using modified Lemaire procedure with arthroscopic anatomic SB-ACLR in treatment of ALRI.
