Abstract
A modified Lemaire lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) is a procedure that is designed to address anterolateral complex (ALC) deficiency. The procedure is performed as an augmentation to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) to reduce anterolateral rotatory laxity. Studies have demonstrated improved rotational control and reduced failure rates of ACLR when LET is added. This is particularly helpful in young patients with high-grade rotatory laxity returning to contact pivoting sport, and in the revision ACLR scenario.
