Infected neoligament augmenting ACL reconstruction
Unsure of intrarticular ‘ use of neoligament. Knowing the past disasters of ACL substitutes, I refrain from using any Intra-articulate ligament substitutes including fibre tape augmentation. Intrarticular adhesion between the fat pad and acl and arthrofibrosis due to reaction to foreign body is the reason. This could be rare occurance although I have seen 2 in my Orthopedic career. I have no regrets using Augments extraarticularly as I have seen less reaction ie; PLRI or patellar ligament
