Variable grafts for ACL reconstruction are available, including autograft, allograft, and synthetic graft options. Various augmentation techniques are also available and typically consist of synthetic material such as an Artelon graft. This type of synthetic material has been used and shown to produce safe and reliable augmentation in ligament injuries. The purpose of this study was to describe our unique revision ACL reconstruction technique utilising an Artelon graft augmentation and report our short-term results.\n\nMaterials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients undergoing revision ACL reconstruction with an Artelon graft augmentation, a Flexband polyurethane-urea and polycaprolactone scaffold, to a tibialis anterior tendon allograft. We performed ACL reconstruction with an Artelon graft augmentation utilising the novel \u201cice cream sandwich\u201d technique in both patients. Range of motion, return to activity, subjective pre- versus post-injury strength and stability, and Lysholm knee scores were evaluated with a 2-year follow-up.\n\nResults: Two patients met the inclusion criteria with an average age of 25.5 years (22\u201329 years). A 24-month follow-up was obtained for both patients through a telephone encounter. Lysholm knee scores were recorded for each patient, with an average score of 86, demonstrating a good outcome 2 years postoperatively. No reoperations or complications, including infection, failed reconstruction, or neurovascular injury, were recorded for either patient.\n\nConclusion: We described a novel technique for revision ACL reconstruction that is safe and provides good post-operative functional outcomes at short-term follow-up. With revision ACL reconstruction procedures on the rise, this is a safe technique that may assist with additional stability around the graft and can be considered in young active adults.\n\nKeywords: Artelon, anterior cruciate ligament, anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, revision, allograft, autograft, graft failure, hypersensitivity reaction, biologic, scaffold.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i06.7396","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,9]],"date-time":"2026-06-09T15:16:19Z","timestamp":1781018179000},"page":"109-114","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Artelon Graft Augmentation in Revision Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Surgical Technique Guide"],"prefix":"10.13107","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Taylor","family":"Manes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, OhioHealth Grant Medical Center, Columbus, Ohio, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Morgan","family":"Turnow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Ohio University, Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, Athens, Ohio, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Trent","family":"Davis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, OhioHealth Grant Medical Center, Columbus, Ohio, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anthony","family":"Perugini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, OhioHealth Grant Medical Center, Columbus, Ohio, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Anderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, OhioHealth Grant Medical Center, Columbus, Ohio, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Benjamin","family":"Taylor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, OhioHealth Grant Medical Center, Columbus, Ohio, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"5271","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"container-title":["Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,9]],"date-time":"2026-06-09T15:16:20Z","timestamp":1781018180000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/jocr.co.in\/wp\/2026\/06\/artelon-graft-augmentation-in-revision-anterior-cruciate-ligament-reconstruction-surgical-technique-guide\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.13107\/jocr.2026.v16.i06.7396","relation":{},"ISSN":["2321-3817"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2321-3817","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026]]}}}
