Abstract

Purpose

Various grafts were selected for restoring knee stability and regaining pre-injury activity levels after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. This review aimed to compare the short-term knee outcomes of different tendon grafts for primary ACL reconstruction (ACLR).

Methods

Databases of PubMed, Embase, and CENTRAL were retrieved for identifying the published RCT comparing the short-term (≤ 2 years) knee outcomes of different tendon grafts for ACLR. The main outcomes include the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective and objective scores, side-to-side difference on knee laxity, Lachman test, pivot-shift test, Lysholm score, Tegner score, all recorded complications and graft re-ruptures.

Results

A total of 32 trials involving 2962 patients and 17 grafts were included. Superior IKDC subjective score was found for quadriceps tendon autograft (QTB) when compared with autografts including bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB), four-strand hamstring tendon (4S-HT), and double-bundle HT. The 4S-HT autograft was associated with poorer anteroposterior and rotational knee stability than the BPTB autograft. Artificial ligament also was found to provide lower knee stability compared with the autografts including the BPTB, patellar tendon, 4S-HT, 4S-HT with preserved tibial insertion, 6S-HT, and four-strand semitendinosus tendon. Additionally, the BPTB allograft showed a statistically higher knee laxity than 6S-HT allograft, while no difference was found between the genuine autografts and non-irradiated allografts.

Conclusions

QTB was recommended to be used even over the BPTB and 4S-HT autografts. BPTB autograft was more effective on restoring the knee stability than 4S-HT autograft. Non-irradiated allografts could be safely used as alternatives to autografts. However, artificial ligaments were not recommended for primary ACLR for significantly increased risk of knee laxity.

Proximale Humerusfraktur: Auch 100-Jährige operieren?

01.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Mit dem demographischen Wandel versorgt auch die Chirurgie immer mehr betagte Menschen. Von Entwicklungen wie Fast-Track können auch ältere Menschen profitieren und bei proximaler Humerusfraktur können selbst manche 100-Jährige noch sicher operiert werden.

Sind Frauen die fähigeren Ärzte?

Patienten, die von Ärztinnen behandelt werden, dürfen offenbar auf bessere Therapieergebnisse hoffen als Patienten von Ärzten. Besonders gilt das offenbar für weibliche Kranke, wie eine Studie zeigt.

Notfall-TEP der Hüfte ist auch bei 90-Jährigen machbar

26.04.2024 Hüft-TEP Nachrichten

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.

Arthroskopie kann Knieprothese nicht hinauszögern
