Study | Style of reconstruction | Grafts used in EAR | Graft fixation | Tibial Insertion | Femoral Insertion/Procedures |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Lee, 2019 [21] | ALLR | A gracilis tendon allograft (fresh frozen) | 7-mm biointerference screw (Matryx) | The center between the Gerdy tubercle and fibular head | Proximal and posterior to the lateral epicondyle |
Helito, 2018 [17] | ALLR | Semitendinosus and gracilis tendons | Metal anchors/the iliotibial band is sutured | The center between the Gerdy tubercle and fibular head | The posterior aspect, the lateral epicondyle |
Imbert, 2017 [22] | EAR | Semitendinosus and gracilis tendons | Interference screws | A tibial margin position against the posterior aspect of the Gerdy tubercle. | A femoral position 1 cm proximal and posterior to the lateral epicondyle |
Ibrahim, 2017 [25] | ALLR | Semitendinosus and gracilis tendons | BioIntrafix interference screw | The center between the Gerdy tubercle and fibular head | The lateral femoral epicondyle; proximal and anterior to the lateral collateral ligament |
Sonnery-Cottet, 2017 [18] | ALLR | Autogenous hamstring tendons | Bio-Interference screw | 1 cm distal to the joint line: one just posterior to the Gerdy tubercle and the second one just anterior to the fibula head | Back proximally to the femur |
Zhang, 2016 [10] | ALLR | Semitendinosus and gracilis tendons | The interference screw | At the position beyond the joint line 0.8–1.0 cm with equal distance to the Gerdy tubercle and fibular head. | At the prominence of the lateral femoral epicondyle, slightlyanterior to the origin of the lateral collateral ligament |
Ferretti, 2016 [11] | MacIntosh modified Coker-Arnold procedure | Iliotibial band | Sutured under tension with periosteal absorbable stitches | The Gerdy tubercle | A portion of the iliotibial band is detached proximally, reflected and passed under the lateral collateral ligament, and sutured under tension with periosteal stitches to Gerdy tubercle, while the tibia is kept in maximum external rotation |
Trichine, 2014 [29] | Extra-articular ilio-tibial band tenodesis | Iliotibial band | Interference screw/ n° 0 absorbable suture | The Gerdy tubercle | Isometric point of the lateral femoral condyle |
Vadalà, 2013 [30] | MacIntosh modified Coker-Arnold procedure | Iliotibial band | #0 Vycril suture | The Gerdy tubercle | A portion of the iliotibial band is detached proximally, reflected and passed under the lateral collateral ligament, and sutured under tension with periosteal stitches to Gerdy tubercle, while the tibia is kept in maximum external rotation |
Monaco, 2007 [28] | MacIntosh modified Coker-Arnold procedure | Iliotibial band | Periosteal stitches | The Gerdy tubercle | A portion of the iliotibial band is detached proximally, reflected and passed under the lateral collateral ligament, and sutured under tension with periosteal stitches to Gerdy tubercle, while the tibia is kept in maximum external rotation |
Zaffagnini, 2006 [31] | EAR | Semitendinosus and gracilis tendons | A single staple | The Gerdy tubercle | In the cortical bone of the femur at the end of the lateral condyle |
Anderson, 2001 [23] | A Losee extra-articular iliotibial band tenodesis | Iliotibial band | A whipstitch of 1–0 nonabsorbable material | The Gerdy tubercle | The lateral femoral condyle |
