Need for this kind of surgery for athletes called into question by Mercy Health doctor’s research with robot
Some athletes who tear or rupture the anterior cruciate ligament in a knee might be undergoing an aspect of reconstructive surgery that ’s unnecessary, according to recently published research by Dr. Frank Noyes, an orthopedic surgeon with Mercy Health-Cincinnati.
A robot that Noyes had built to test ACL reconstruction techniques helped demonstrate that athletes don’t always need two surgeries that involve grafting ligaments on the inside and the outside of the knee to stabilize the joint.
Noyes,… (Source: bizjournals.com Health Care News Headlines)

Researchers develop 3D-printed, bioabsorbable scaffold for ACL reconstruction
Researchers at the Mayo Clinic‘s tissue engineering and biomaterials laboratory have developed a 3D-printed, porous scaffold for the delayed delivery of recombinant-human bone morphogenetic protein 2, rhBMP-2, to facilitate bone regeneration in patients undergoing ACL reconstruction.
The team’s work developing the scaffold and comparing different delivery methods for rhBMP-2 was published this week in Tissue Engineering.

Hamstring tendon graft with anterolateral ligament reconstruction may offer reduced failure rates compared to other techniques for ACL reconstruction
Findings from a study published online in The American Journal of Sports Medicine suggest that hamstring tendon graft combined with anterolateral ligament reconstruction (HT+ALL) may offer reduced failure rates compared to bone–patellar tendon–bone (B-PT-B) graft or quadrupled hamstring tendon (4HT) graft for patients who undergo anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
