Combined Meniscus Repair and ACL Reconstruction

Authors:

Ariel N. Rodriguez, M.S., Robert F. LaPrade, M.D., Ph.D., and Andrew G. Geeslin, M.D

Abstract:

Meniscal tear patterns associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, such as root tears and ramp lesions are common but less easily recognized on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared with a complete radial tear or a locked bucket-handle tear. Timely […]

Revision Proximal Tibiofibular Joint Reconstruction – Treatment for Instability

Title:

Revision Proximal Tibiofibular Joint Reconstruction for the Treatment of Chronic Instability Secondary to Suture Button Construct Failure

Authors:

Ariel N. Rodriguez, M.S., Foley Schreier, B.S., Gregory B. Carlson, M.D., and Robert F. LaPrade, M.D., Ph.D.

Abstract:

Recurrent proximal tibiofibular joint (PTFJ) instability can result from nonanatomic repair using a suture button construct. During initial reconstruction, proper identification […]

Title:

Posterior Approach for the Treatment of an Osteochondral Defect on the Posterior Lateral Femoral Condyle

Authors:

Ariel N. Rodriguez, M.S., Lindsay C. Roethke, B.S., Daniel J. Liechti, M.D., and Robert F. LaPrade, M.D., Ph.D.

Abstract:

Osteochondral defects of the knee often occur as a result of traumatic injury, repetitive microtrauma, or genetic predisposition. Smaller lesions can be […]

Proximal Tibial Opening Wedge Osteotomy…Knee Instability

Authors:

Ariel N. Rodriguez, M.S., Foley Schreier, B.S., Gregory B. Carlson, M.D., and Robert F. LaPrade, M.D., Ph.D.

Abstract:

Decreased posterior tibial slope has been associated with increased risk of graft failure and knee instability after posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction. Premature physeal arrest at the tibial tubercle is a common cause of osseous genu recurvatum. […]

Authors:

Robert F. LaPrade, Edward R. Floyd, Ariel N. Rodriguez, Kari L. Falaas, Gregory B. Carlson, Jorge Chahla, and Andrew G. Geeslin

Abstract:

Posterior medial meniscus root tears (PMMRTs) make up a relatively notable proportion of all meniscus pathology […]

Tibial Tubercle Preserving Wedge for Increased Posterior Tibial Slope

Authors:

Edward R. Floyd, M.D., Gregory B. Carlson, M.D., Jill Monson, P.T., O.C.S., and Robert F. LaPrade, M.D., Ph.D.

Abstract:

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) failure is multifactorial, but it is known that increased posterior tibial slope (PTS) leads to a greater likelihood of ACLR failure. This technical note describes the senior author’s technique for performing […]

Arthroscopic Excision of Bipartite Patella

Authors:

Edward R. Floyd, M.S., Kari L. Falaas, B.S., Gregory B. Carlson, M.D., Jill Monson, P.T., O.C.S., and Robert F. LaPrade, M.D., Ph.D.

Abstract:

A bipartite patella usually presents as an incidentalfinding on radiographs because most cases are asymp-tomatic. However, some patients may present with pain and functional limitations. Conservative treatment is sufficient toresolve symptoms in most […]

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!
