Does Dr. Schneider perform revision (re-do) ACL reconstructions?

Yes. Nationwide, the average re-tear rate of ACLs following reconstruction is between 2-5%. Dr. Schneider is happy to consult with patients whose ACL grafts have failed following primary surgery. Because the placement of the tibial and femoral tunnels must be very precise, often times placement of the tunnels in a new location will solve instability problems. Issues such as implant selection, graft selection, and rehabilitation protocols are also key items of discussion.
