        A 30-year-old man presented with a locked knee 4 weeks after a twisting injury. He had a 10° extension loss and a 1B Lachman’s. An MRI confirmed an ACL tear and concomitant locked medial and lateral bucket handle meniscal tears. Because of the chronic motion loss, a staged meniscal repair and ACL reconstruction was performed. The inside-out meniscal repairs were initially completed, and the ACL reconstruction with PT autograft was performed 3 months later (complete meniscal healing was documented). He was released to full activities at 7 months after his reconstruction, with symmetric ROM, strength, and Lachman’s testing bilaterally. Courtesy of Robin West, M.D.
