ACL reconstruction with reinforced bioinductive implant may yield favorable outcomes
Published results showed the inclusion of a reinforced bioinductive implant during ACL reconstruction may lead to favorable range of motion, pain and functional outcome scores, as well as low rates of clinical retear at 1-year follow-up.
“The study was encouraging in the fact that we were able to show that by adding the augment it did not worsen our patients’ outcomes and there may be some short-term and long-term clinical benefit to the patient, both with their ACL reconstruction as well as back filling their harvest sites,” Sean McMillan, DO, chief of orthopedics at Virtua Willingboro and Camden campuses in New Jersey, told Healio.
