About
Simon Lenschow is a leading figure in orthopaedic biomechanics, with his research fundamentally shaping modern understanding of cruciate ligament reconstruction. His work centers on the precise interplay between surgical technique, graft placement, and knee kinematics. Lenschow’s major contributions include demonstrating that a graft placed at the center of the femoral footprint fails to restore normal posterior laxity in single-bundle PCL reconstruction—a finding that has guided surgeons toward more anatomic approaches. He also provided critical evidence comparing single-bundle and double-bundle ACL reconstruction techniques, showing that eccentric femoral tunnels can better replicate native knee motion. His highly cited 2005 study on femoral tunnel placement in double-bundle PCL reconstruction (77 citations) remains a cornerstone reference in the field. Beyond reconstruction, Lenschow has investigated novel repair techniques like dynamic intraligamentary stabilization (DIS) for acute ACL tears, as well as tibial fixation strategies in revision surgery. With multiple papers exceeding 50 citations, his work has directly influenced clinical practice, helping surgeons optimize tunnel placement and graft fixation to improve patient outcomes and restore joint stability.
