Adequate Failure Loads for Modified Lemaire Lateral Extra-articular Tenodesis Are Achieved With an Interference Screw, Staple, and Suture Anchor: A Biomechanical Study of Structural Properties

A lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) is increasingly being utilized to augment an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction because it has been shown to reduce the risk of postreconstruction graft failure or recurrent rotatory instability. Various femoral fixation techniques are available, including the use of an interference screw, staple, or suture anchor.
