Lateral Extra‐articular Tenodesis Has No Effect in Knees With Isolated Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury

ACL reconstruction in combination with a LET was able to reduce anterior tibial translation and internal tibial rotation in response to different physical examinations. However, combined ACL reconstruction and LET led to overconstraint of internal tibial rotation when the anterolateral capsule was intact. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: On the basis of our results, LET with ACL reconstruction restores stability in a combined ACL-injured and anterolateral capsule-injured knee. However, LET with ACL reconstruction overconstrains the knee in an isolated ACL injury.
