Overview

May support stability in small series; leaves open whether iliotibial band reconstruction offers durable ACL repair.

Structured PICO

Does intraarticular iliotibial band reconstruction improve knee stability and dynamic repair in patients with anterior cruciate ligament insufficiency?

P
Population
35 patients (28 men, 7 women) with anterior cruciate ligament insufficiency (27 chronic, 8 acute injuries), average age 24 years (range 18-46).
I
Intervention
Intraarticular reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament by transferring the distal aspect and insertion of the iliotibial band.
O
Outcome
Postoperative evaluation according to the Kennedy criteria (anterior drawer, rotary instability, pivot shifts).surrogate

Intraarticular iliotibial band reconstruction for ACL insufficiency provides clinical stability and demonstrates potential for dynamic repair based on electromyographic activity.
