If you're being given ACL revision surgery, you have to watch this video. Orthopaedic surgeon [insert your name/title if given] explains why a two-stage operation is key to ultimate success. You'll find out why merely removing the failed graft and re-drilling in one procedure usually results in a bad outcome, and how right tunnel preparation with cortical (not synthetic) bone graft dramatically enhances graft fixation and healing. This clip outlines the entire procedure—from taking out the old ACL and bone grafting the tunnels, to waiting the required 5–6 months prior to undertaking the second, final reconstruction. If you're a patient, physician, or medical professional, this clear explanation will provide important perspective on why getting it right is getting it two-staged.
