Functional results after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using the bone-patella tendon-bone method

Abstract

This study evaluates the outcome of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with arthroscopy using the bone-patella tendon-bone method. We performed this procedure in 24 patients with the average age of 33.1 years (range: 17-51 years) between 2017 and 2019. Sixteen of the 24 patients were available for evaluation using the Lysholm Knee Score and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) system. Based on the Lysholm score, there was a statistically significant improvement in knee function when comparing pre-and post-surgical scores (p< 0.001). Using IKDC guidelines, a majority of the patients have regained near normal to normal knee function. We conclude that ACL reconstruction using the bone-patella tendon-bone method can provide good functional outcome based on objective and subjective assessments.

Post-Operative Radiological Outcome of Hamstring Graft in ACL Reconstruction after Augmentation of Graft with Periosteal Envelope

“…For active sportsmen, recovery from ACL injury must be as normal and in the least duration so that it doesn't affect his sports carrier. In last few years various procedures are done in ACL reconstruction so as to improve its outcome [21]. By inducing the mesenchymal cells to differentiate into chondroblasts and osteoblast, periosteum has shown to initiate bone formation there by helping in tendon to bone healing inducing mesenchymal cells to differentiate into chondroblasts and then into osteoblasts [11].…”
