Management of Bone Loss and Tunnel Widening in Revision ACL Reconstruction

➤ Both mechanical and biological factors can contribute to bone loss and tunnel widening following primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. ➤ Revision ACL surgery success is dependent on graft position, fixation, and biological incorporation. ➤ Both 1-stage and 2-stage revision ACL reconstructions can be successful in correctly indicated patients. ➤ Potential future solutions may involve the incorporation of biological agents to enhance revision ACL surgery, including the use of bone marrow aspirate concentrate, platelet-rich plasma, and bone morphogenetic protein-2.
