Modified Lemaire extra-articular stabilisation of the knee for the treatment of anterolateral instability combined with diffuse pigmented villonodular synovitis: a case report

Abstract: BackgroundDiffuse pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) of the knee is a rare proliferative joint disease associated with high recurrence rates following surgical treatment. Intra-articular joint instability in conjunction with PVNS implies complex reconstructive strategies due to the destructive nature of the disease.Case presentationHere, we present the case of a young patient with refractory PVNS and a chronic ipsilateral anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. Clinically, the patient presented with a g… Show more

“…In cases of pronounced anterolateral rotational instability of the knee joint, a growing number of publications postulate a simultaneous reconstruction of the ALL and the ACL [ 15 , 16 , 22 , 32 , 36 , 38 ]. Various operative techniques have been proposed [ 13 , 15 , 19 , 35 , 43 ]. Knees with persistent internal rotational instability may be more prone to suffer a reruptur secondary to the ACL reconstruction as ongoing pivot-shift phenomenon and rotational laxity has been shown to correlate with inferior clinical outcome [ 3 , 23 ].…”
