Advantages and Disadvantages

Advantages Disadvantages
  • One-stage Rev-ACLR with bone loss

  • Not suitable technique in cases of extensive bone loss on both the tibia and the femur

  • Bone-to-bone healing just on one side

  • An outside-in technique on the femur decreases risk of tunnel convergence

  • Manage tibial bony defect with proper shaping of patellar bone block

  • Adjustable loop fixation allows optimal tensioning of the graft

  • Adequate autograft dimension

  • Decreased donor-site morbidity compared with BPTB

  • LEAP gives more stability to the knee with no differences for postoperative rehabilitation protocol

BPTB, bone–patellar tendon–bone; LEAP, lateral extra-articular procedure; Rev-ACLR, revision of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
