Description: The revision ACL requires a complex surgical algorithm. In the revision setting, we need to consider what surgery was done previously, along with the potential reasons as to why the ACL may have "failed", including concomitant injuries and underlying soft tissue or bony anatomy problems that may affect a successful outcome.

Please join us for a thoughtful discussion on ACL re-injury and surgical concepts to consider in the revision setting. This webinar will focus on opinions and technical considerations from four of the leading experts in the field.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the technical challenges related to the previous ACL surgery and how this affects a revision ACL. How to evaluate bone loss from previous ACL surgery and when to consider one vs two stage revision.
2. Identify when to consider a lateral extra-articular procedure into a revision ACL.
3. Understand when an osteotomy is indicated in a revision ACL. How much malalignment is too much?
4. Understand the effects of concomitant injuries on ACL retears. What is the role of the meniscus, MCL and posterolateral corner?
