The Role of Isolated Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis in Managing Residual Pivot Shift After Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and a New Medial Meniscal Tear
In patients with grade ≥2 pivot shift after an ACLR with an intact or partially torn graft and a new, symptomatic medial meniscal tear, the addition of an LET with or without rACLR led to improved PROs compared with an isolated rACLR. An isolated LET in this patient population should be considered an acceptable treatment option.
