In this special episode, Dr. Douoguih shares about his most recently accepted publication titled “Suture augmented ACL repair for proximal avulsion or high-grade partial tears shows similar side-to-side difference and no clinical differences at 2 years versus conventional ACL reconstruction for near-complete and mid-substance tears or poor ACL tissue quality” in The Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery.

This is the first Level II prospective study published out of the USA, comparing ACL repair with Internal Brace Augmentation (ACLR-IB) to conventional ACL Reconstruction (CACL-R). Dr. Douoguih shares that he has been performing this surgery over the last 9 years on select patients with proximal avulsion injuries. “This study is the culmination of a concerted effort to increase the level of evidence available in support of this novel technique” says Dr. Douoguih.

If you’re a clinician, it’s important to stay up to date on the procedures that exist for ACL Reconstruction and Repair and understand how it affects post op rehabilitation. Listen in to hear the evolution of this procedure from a pioneer in the orthopaedic surgery field!!!
