About

Konstantinos Michail is a researcher in orthopaedic biomechanics, with a primary focus on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and knee joint function. His work investigates how surgical techniques—such as graft rotation and tunnel placement—affect knee stability and long-term outcomes. His most-cited study, "The effect of anterior cruciate ligament graft rotation on knee biomechanics" (2016), uses a porcine model to demonstrate that rotating the distal end of a bone-patellar tendon graft 90° during anatomic single-bundle ACL reconstruction significantly alters knee kinematics. This finding has implications for improving graft integration and reducing post-surgical complications, contributing to the optimization of ACL repair procedures. With 7 citations, this paper represents a focused but impactful contribution to the field, highlighting Michail’s commitment to bridging surgical practice and biomechanical evidence. His work is valuable for orthopaedic surgeons and sports medicine researchers seeking to refine ACL reconstruction techniques for better patient outcomes.
