A Novel Posterior Arthrotomy Approach for the Treatment of a Large Osteochondral Defect of the Posterior Aspect of the Lateral Femoral Condyle of the Knee

JOURNAL OF BONE AND JOINT SURGERY 2013

Symptomatic osteochondral lesions of the knee pose a considerable treatment challenge to orthopaedic surgeons, particularly when they occur in young, active patients. This case report studies a patient with a large osteochondral lesion of the posterior aspect of the lateral femoral condyle of the knee. The study also outlines […]

Recent Advances in Posterior Meniscal Root Repair Techniques

JAAOS 2015

Posterior root avulsions of the medial and lateral menisci result in decreased areas of tibiofemoral contact and increased tibiofemoral contact pressures. These avulsions may lead to the development of osteoarthritis. Therefore, two surgical techniques, the transtibial pullout repair and the suture anchor repair, have recently been developed to restore the native structure and function […]

Systematic Technique-Dependent Differences in CT Versus MRI Measurement of the Tibial Tubercle–Trochlear Groove Distance

AJSM 2015

The tibial tubercle–trochlear groove (TTTG) distance is used to quantify the degree of lateralization of the patellar tendon insertion on the tibial tubercle relative to the deepest part of the trochlear groove. Disagreement exists as to whether the TTTG distance measured on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be considered equivalent.

The […]

Trochlear Dysplasia and the Role of Trochleoplasty

CLINICS IN SPORTS MEDICINE 2014

It is estimated that 5.8 cases per 100,000 individuals report primary patellar dislocation. Patients between 10 to 17 years of age increase the incidence of patellar dislocation to 29 cases per 100,000 individuals. Recurrent dislocations reportedly occur in 17% of all cases following a primary dislocation event. After a second dislocation, […]

Biomechanical Consequences of a Nonanatomic Posterior Medial Meniscal Root Repair

AJSM 2015

Posterior medial meniscal root tears have been reported to extrude with the meniscus becoming adhered posteromedially along the posterior capsule. While anatomic repair has been reported to restore tibiofemoral contact mechanics, it is unknown whether nonanatomic positioning of a meniscal root repair to a posteromedial location would restore the loading profile of the knee […]

Refrigerated Osteoarticular Allografts to Treat Articular Cartilage Defects of the Femoral Condyles

JOURNAL OF BONE AND JOINT SURGERY 2009

Because of concerns about infections with the use of fresh osteoarticular allografts, osteoarticular allografts are currently stored hypothermically for a minimum of fourteen days to allow for serologic and microbiologic testing prior to implantation. Refrigerated osteoarticular allograft transplants are often used to treat symptomatic chondral and osteochondral defects in […]

Avoiding Tunnel Collisions Between Fibular Collateral Ligament and ACL Posterolateral Bundle Reconstruction

KSSTA 2011

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk of tunnel collisions of the fibular collateral ligament (FCL) and posterolateral bundle anterior cruciate ligament(PLB-ACL) tunnels during a combined FCL and doubledundle (DB) ACL reconstruction.

Methods: Thirty-six 4th-generation synthetic femurs (Sawbones, Pacific Research Laboratories, Vashon, WA) were utilized, and two different femur sizes were […]

Outcomes of Treatment of Acute Grade-III Isolated and Combined Posterolateral Knee Injuries

JOURNAL OF BONE AND JOINT SURGERY 2011

Few studies have reported the outcomes of surgical treatment of an acute grade-III posterolateral knee injury. Our purpose was to report the objective stability and subjective outcomes for a prospective series of patients with an acute grade-III posterolateral knee injury treated with anatomic repair and/or reconstruction of all injured […]

Analysis of the Static Function of the Popliteus Tendon and Evaluation of an Anatomic Reconstruction

AJSM 2010

The popliteus tendon has important dynamic and static stabilizing functions at the knee. Evaluation of its static role as the ‘‘fifth ligament’’ of the knee and a subsequent analysis of a popliteus tendon reconstruction has not been performed.

The popliteus tendon has important primary stabilization roles at the knee. The authors also […]

Analysis of the Static Function of the Popliteus Tendon and Evaluation of an Anatomic Reconstruction

Outcomes of an Anatomic Posterolateral Knee Reconstruction

JOURNAL OF BONE AND JOINT SURGERY 2010

Chronic posterolateral knee injuries often result in substantial patient morbidity and functional instability. The clinical stability and functional outcomes following anatomic reconstructions in patients with a chronic posterolateral knee injury have not been determined, to our knowledge.

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!

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!
