Biomechanical Analysis of an Isolated Fibular (Lateral) Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Using an Autogenous Semitendinosus Graft

AJSM 2007

The fibular collateral ligament is the primary stabilizer to varus instability of the knee. Untreated fibular collateral ligament injuries can lead to residual knee instability and can increase the risk of concurrent cruciate ligament reconstruction graft failures. Anatomic reconstructions of the fibular collateral ligament have not been biomechanically validated.

A Prospective Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study of the Incidence of Posterolateral and Multiple Ligament Injuries in Acute Knee Injuries Presenting With a Hemarthrosis

JOURNAL OF ARTHROSCOPIC AND RELATED SURGERY 2007

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the incidence of posterolateral knee injuries, as well as other concurrent knee ligament injuries, could be obtained from a prospective evaluation of magnetic resonance imaging scans in patients with an acute knee injury with a hemarthrosis.

Development of an Anatomic Medial Knee Reconstruction

KSSTA 2012

The main static stabilizers of the medial knee are the superficial medial collateral and posterior oblique ligaments. A number of reconstructive techniques have been advocated including one we describe here. However, whether these reconstructions restore function and stability is unclear.

Shoulder kinematics during the wall push-up plus exercise

JOURNAL OF SHOULDER AND ELBOW SURGERY 2010

The push-up plus exercise is a common therapeutic exercise for improving shoulder function and treating shoulder pathology. To date, the kinematics of the push-up plus exercise have not been studied. Our hypothesis was that the wall push-up plus exercise would demonstrate increased scapular internal rotation and increased humeral anterior translation during the […]

Radiographic Landmarks for Tunnel Positioning in Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstructions

AJSM 2013

Consistent radiographic guidelines for tunnel placement in single or double-bundle posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstructions are not well defined. Quantitative guidelines reporting the location of the individual PCL bundle attachments would aid in intraoperative tunnel placement and postoperative assessment of a PCL reconstruction. This study hypothesized that consistent and reproducible measurements in relation to […]

Ice Hockey Goaltender Rehabilitation, Including On-Ice Progression, After Arthroscopic Hip Surgery for Femoroacetabular Impingement

JOURNAL OF ORTHOPAEDIC AND SPORTS PHYSICAL THERAPY 2013

Hip injuries among ice hockey players are very common, especially for goaltenders. The “butterfly technique” of goal tending is becoming increasingly popular in the ice hockey community. This technique transfers a lot of pressure on the hip joint causing pain. Following surgery, goaltenders require increased attention and care when […]

Intra-articular lateral femoral condyle fracture following an ACL revision reconstruction

KSSTA 2009

Lateral femoral condyle fractures following an ACL reconstruction are rare. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a lateral femoral condyle fracture following a revision ACL reconstruction. The patient’s fracture was intra-articular, had a significant amount of soft tissue damage, and was further complicated by a large defect involving the bone […]

Anatomic Suture Anchor Versus the Brostrom Technique for Anterior Talofibular Ligament Repair

AJSM 2012

This manuscript was co-written with our foot and ankle team to define the best manner to perform a lateral ankle ligament reconstruction. In this study, we attempted to define whether a suture anchor at the fibula or talus best restores the native strength of the anterior talofibular ligament. We found that both a standard […]

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!
