Untreated Type 4 Ramp Injuries at Index Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Surgery Result in Higher Rates of Revision ACL-R within the First 2 Years

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses a study that investigates whether patients with type four ramp lesions at the time of initial ACL reconstruction have higher rates of re-operation compared to those without a ramp lesion. The study is a retrospective cohort study conducted from 2015 to 2019 at an academic center. MRI evaluation and treatment methods are explained, and the results show that untreated ramp lesions are associated with an increased risk of revision ACL surgery. However, if the ramp lesion is treated along with the ACL, the revision ACL rate is similar to those without a ramp lesion. The study concludes that standard portals are not sufficient in diagnosing and assessing stability of ramp lesions.
