Video Summary

Dr. Volker Musel discusses hypermobility and the risk of re-injury in ACL reconstruction. He explains that hyperlaxity, or increased joint hypermobility, is associated with inferior post-op outcomes. The study aimed to determine the 12-month risk of a second ACL injury in patients with and without hyperlaxity. It included patients aged 16-50 who underwent ACL reconstruction after 2014. Results showed a higher rate of second ACL injury in the hyperlaxity group, with a 5.5-fold odds of injury compared to the group without hyperlaxity. The study suggests that hyperlaxity should be assessed in ACL-injured athletes to personalize surgical approaches and implement risk appraisal and counseling.
