“…Doba návratu do plné sportovní záteže od okamžiku operace je však u každého pacienta individuál ní (6). Mezi faktory ovlivňující dobrý výsledek ACLR patří zejména správné načasování výkonu, optimální výběr operační techniky a její precizní technické provede ní včetně způsobu přípravy štěpu, spolupráce pacienta, adekvátní rehabilitace a v neposlední řadě i biologické faktory ovlivňující vhojování a ligamentizaci štěpu (7,9,19). Právě interpersonálně odlišné hojivé schopnosti pacientů významně ovliňují rychlost i kvalitu ligamentizace a maturace štěpu LCA (18).…”

PURPOSE OF THE STUDYThe purpose of the prospective randomised study was to assess the benefits of the platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) application during the anatomic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) for tendon graft healing. MATERIAL AND METHODSThe study included 40 patients with an isolated rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee. The MRI findings on the tendon graft were evaluated at 6 months and 12 months after the surgery in a total of 33 patients, namely in 10 women/23 men (21 right knee/12 left knee), with the mean age of 29.1 years and at the mean follow-up of 15.9 weeks after the injury. The randomisation using envelopes was carried out at the beginning of arthroscopy either in the group with the PRF application (Group 1) (17 patients) or in the group without the PRF application (Group 2) (16 patients). The followed-up patients underwent the ACLR with targeting the femoral tunnel through anteromedial portal using the autografts of m. semitendinosus and m. gracilis with Tightrope femoral fixation and Inion implant in tibia. In Group 1, during the surgery PRF was applied both in the drilled tunnels (intraosseously) and directly to the surface of the tendon graft itself (intraarticular part). The Group 2 was a control group in which the same intervention was performed, however without the PRF application. In the 6 th and 12 th month after the surgery, the signal intensity of the knee and occurrence of the ACL graft failure, bone (marrow) oedema rate near the tunnels were assessed by an independent radiologist using a 3 Tesla MRI. RESULTSIn the 6 th and also in the 12 th postoperative month, neither a complete, nor a partial graft failure was found in the group with PRF, whereas in Group 2 a complete or a partial graft failure was observed in 12.5% (p = 0.23). In the 6 th month, a bone marrow oedema near the intraosseous parts of the graft was reported in 94.1% of patients in Group 1 and in 81.3% of patients in Group 2, while in the 12 th month it was 23.5% of evaluated patients in Group 1 and 37.5% patients in Group 2. The differences between the two groups were not statistically significant in the 6 th (p = 0.096) or in the 12 th month (p = 0.43). In the 6 th month, a fully ligamentised graft was found in 52.9% of patients in Group 1 and in 37.5% of patients in Group 2 (p = 0.061), a partially ligamentised graft was present in 47.1% of patients in Group 1 and in 50% of patients in Group 2. In the 12 th month, a fully ligamentised graft was seen in 94.1% of patients in Group 1 and in 75% of patients in Group 2 (p = 0.26) and a partially ligamentised graft was present in 5.9% of patients in Group 1 and in 12.5% of patients in Group 2. In the remaining 12.5% of patients in Group 2, the finding was assessed as a graft with no signs of ligamentisation. DISCUSSIONWe have not encountered a paper in the Czech or world literature which would present results of a similar study, i.e. which would evaluate the potential benefits of the platelet-rich fibrin application in the course of the anatom...

Purpose Quadriceps tendon (QT) autograft ACL reconstruction was hypothesized to possess less anterior knee laxity, pivot shift laxity, and lower failure rates than hamstring tendon (HT) autografts. Methods Terms "hamstring tendon autograft" and "ACL reconstruction" or "quadriceps tendon autograft" and "ACL reconstruction" were searched in Embase and PubMed. Inclusion criteria required that studies included patients treated for primary ACL injury with reconstruction using either a QT autograft (Group 1) or a HT autograft (Group 2) and instrumented anterior knee laxity assessment. Extracted information included surgical fixation method, graft type, graft thickness or diameter, single vs. double bundle surgical method, publication year, time between the index knee injury and surgery, % women, initial and final subject number, subject age, follow-up length, side-to-side anterior knee laxity difference, Lysholm Score, Subjective IKDC score, anterior knee laxity side-to-side difference grade, ipsilateral pivot shift laxity grade, and failure rate. The Methodological Index for Nonrandomized Studies was used to evaluate study methodological quality. ResultsThe QT group (Group 1) had 17 studies and the HT group (Group 2) had 61 studies. Overall, Group 2 had greater pivot shift laxity (OR 1.29, 95% CI 1.05-1.59, p = 0.005). Group 2 suspensory femoral fixation had greater pivot shift laxity (OR 1.26, 95% CI 1.01-1.58, p = 0.02) than Group 1 compression femoral fixation. Group 2 compression femoral fixation also had more anterior knee laxity (OR 1.25, 95% CI 1.03-1.52, p = 0.01) than Group 1 compression femoral fixation and higher failure rates based on initial (OR 1.69, 95% CI 1.18-2.4, p = 0.002) and final (OR 1.89, 95% CI 1.32-2.71, p = 0.0003) subject number. Failure rate for HT compression femoral fixation was greater than suspensory femoral fixation based on initial (OR 2.08, 95% CI 1.52-2.84, p < 0.0001) and final (OR 2.26, 95% CI 1.63-3.16, p < 0.0001) subject number. Conclusions Overall, QT autografts had less pivot shift laxity and lower failure rates based on final subject number than HT autografts. Compression QT autograft femoral fixation had lower pivot shift laxity than suspensory HT autograft femoral fixation. Compression QT autograft femoral fixation had less anterior knee laxity and lower failure rates than compression HT autograft femoral fixation. Suspensory HT autograft femoral fixation had lower failure rates than compression HT autograft femoral fixation. Greater knee laxity and failure rates may be related to a combination of HT autograft diameter and configuration (tissue quality and dimensions, strands, bundles, and suturing method) variability and fixation mode. Level of evidence Level IV.
