Titanium screws remain the gold standard for patellar tendon autografts and many bone plug #ACLreconstructions. They don't interfere with future MRI scans and are clearly visible on X-rays, helping evaluate graft placement. https://t.co/GnQ0Mon3BO #orthotwitter #kneesurgery

ACL tears are prevalent due to various factors. Unlike the #MCL, which can often heal on its own, #ACLtears typically require surgery as they don't heal well naturally. With 350K+ #ACLreconstructions performed annually in the U.S., it's a common procedure. https://t.co/qmLmYgy6iw

#ACL tears are one of the most common #kneeligament injuries. The most common knee ligament injury is the #MCL which often tears & can heal on its own when it's isolated. It is estimated that 350K+ #ACLreconstructions were performed in the U.S. last year. https://t.co/n3rYfEQgVu

In this study of revision #ACLReconstructions in elite #athletes, 87.9% were able to RTP, of whom 75.5% returned to the same competitive level. 44.4% were still playing at five years post-surgery. https://t.co/4O7FgrndtA @FortiusClinicUK

Single vs double bundle is a never ending tussle for ACL reconstructions!! I’m tired of arguing over this with almost every second orthopedic surgeon I meet! #orthotwitter #aclreconstructions #singlevsdoublebundles

#ACLreconstructions are among the most common orthopaedic procedures performed in the U.S. Individuals who undergo an ACL reconstruction have a 3-5x greater risk of developing post-traumatic #arthritis of the #knee. Here is why: https://t.co/QjV0GarnEB #orthotwitter
