The Principles of Knee Joint Preservation: Operative Treatment Strategies.
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. American Volume 2023 October 19
➤ Joint alignment, meniscal status, and ligament stability are codependent factors involved in knee joint preservation, and any injury or imbalance can impact the knee articular cartilage status and can result in adverse clinical outcomes.➤ Cartilage preservation procedures in the knee will not result in optimal outcomes if there is joint malalignment, meniscal deficiency, or ligamentous instability.➤ Lower-extremity varus or valgus malalignment is a risk factor for the failure of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. It represents an indication for a high tibial osteotomy or distal femoral osteotomy in the setting of failed ACL reconstruction, and may even be considered in patients who have an initial ACL injury and severe malalignment.➤ An elevated posterior tibial slope increases the risk of failure of ACL reconstruction, whereas a decreased posterior tibial slope increases the risk of failure of posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
