It was reported that the patient underwent a primary acl reconstruction with a semi allograft on (b)(6) 2019.The patient returned for post op follow up in the surgeon's office and x-rays found that the cortical rt button appeared to be within the femoral canal.Clinically the patient was felt to have a positive lachman, although they were not symptomatic.On (b)(6) 2019, the patient was brought back to the operating room; the tails of the tightrope were found through a lateral incision and fixed proximally with a 4.75 swivelock to re-tension the graft.A 3.5 swivelock was placed in the 4mm cortical exit hole and the tightrope and button were left in place.The surgeon was happy with graft tension and felt the lachman was now negative.Additional information provided 10/31/2019: there were no devices removed from the patient.
