Combined Rip-Stop and Transtibial Pull-out Technique for Lateral Meniscus Radial Repairs

Authors:

Morgan D. Homan, D.O., Nicholas I. Kennedy, M.D., Christopher M. LaPrade, M.D., and Robert F. LaPrade, M.D., Ph.D.

Abstract:

Radial tears of the meniscus disrupt circumferential fibers that allow for the dispersion of axial tibiofemoral forces. Both nonoperative treatment and meniscectomy carry increased risk of early-onset degeneration of the joint because of decreased contact surface […]

PCL Stress Radiograph Technique

PCL Stress Radiographs

PCL stress radiographs are obtained to objectively determine the amount of increased posterior tibial translation in a patient that may have a possible PCL tear preoperatively and also to determine the postoperative surgical outcomes. PCL stress radiographs can objectively measure the amount of increased posterior tibial translation on the injured knee compared to […]

So glad I waited for the best

I struggled with my knee for 18 months - having gone from 10,000 steps a day to only walking as needed. Previous attempts to make it better provided only temporary relief. (including injections and arthroscopic surgery), I heard Dr. La Prade was going to practice in the Twin Cities - where I live, & waited for him, based on his renown reputation. I am so glad I did! Dr LaPrade performed a deep root repair to my meniscus, which saved me from a knee replacement at this time. I am 5-months post surgery, and am doing great, stationary biking and exercising every day, no pain.
You know you are seeing the best when you find out he has written over 500 medical journal articles - among many other accomplishments. Hey - if he is good enough for Olympic and professional athletes…..he's good enough for me! Thank you, Dr. LaPrade, for treating me with the care, focus, and expertise as if I was an Olympic athlete!
- From your 63 year old very appreciative patent ~

Right Knee Surgery After Auto Bicycle Accident

Dr. Robert F. LaPrade operated on my right knee in May of 2010. I was hit by a car on my bicycle near Horsetooth Reservoir in CO. I was life flighted to MCR in Loveland, CO. My orthopedic injuries were severe, but totally missesd by the orthopedic team at Poudre. I could not bear weight on my right side though I tried repeatedly, but finally I went and got an MRI and one of the orthopedic surgeons that I worked with was shocked when he saw the MRI result. My right knee was totally destroyed; ACL, MCL, PCL all severely torn; the patella was the only thing intact in my right knee. Dr. La Prade had just moved to Vail and I was his 2nd patient @ The Steadman Clinic. I was told by one of the orthopedic surgeons that I worked with that I would never run again and would be lucky if I could ever hike again. This was devastating news after being a top triathlete (3rd in the world in my age group in 1989 & 1st nationally in my age group) and a big marathon runner. All I can say is Dr. La Prade did an amazing job and I am not limited in any of my activites. I can run, bike, & climb mountains. In fact 2 years ago I finished climbing the top 100 peaks in CO.

Very helpful

I have looked many times for answers on my tibial tubercle osteotomy and never found any as detailed as i needed. This answers all my questions!
