One-stage ACL revision using a bone allograft plug for a semianatomic tibial tunnel that is too anterior

Knee
ACL

Learn how to perform a one-stage ACL revision combined with lateral tenodesis using the IT band, specifically for cases where the tibial tunnel is too anterior in a semi-anatomic position.

I am an orthopedic surgeon specialized in knee surgery. I practice at the University Hospital of Toulouse in the University Sports Clinic located in the Pierre Paul Riquet Hospital.
In addition to teaching at the Faculty of Medicine, I participate in courses for the professional societies to which I belong such as the SFA, ESSKA and SOFCOT.
My clinical activity (more than 800 surgeries per year) is exclusively focused on knee surgery. An important part of my surgeries is related to sports traumatology, in particular anterior cruciate ligament injuries (350+ ACL reconstructions per year).
My research activity is also focused on the knee. I have contributed to more than 110 publications in international journals. I am developing an à la carte approach in order to propose a personalized surgery to the patient. In the context of degenerative activity, the aim is to better analyze the variability of the anatomy in order to be able to propose prostheses adapted to the patient's anatomy. In the context of sports traumatology, it is a question of improving the dismemberment of all the lesions in order to propose an adequate therapy.
Since May 2022, I am a member of the board of ESSKA (European Society of Sports Traumatology Knee Surgery and Arthroscopy) as treasurer.

Professor Reina is Head of Hip and Trauma department, of the University Hospital in Toulouse, France. He holds a PhD in Anthropobiology. He completed a fellowship in Oxford, UK and worked in Mayo Clinic, Rochester for research.

His main focus is hip & pelvis surgery. His clinical practice comprises conservative surgery, primary and complex revision total hip arthroplasty as well as trauma for complex acetabular fractures.

Board member of French Hip Knee Surgery, he is also member of the European Hip Society and the International Board of the American Association of Hip Knee Surgeons. He published more than 150 peer reviewed publications and book chapters, and lectured in various international conferences. His research interests integrate big data in orthopedics, modern care in hip surgery such as minimally invasive techniques, and musculoskeletal system’s ability to adapt to its environment (biomechanics and anthropological variability).
