Revision ACL Reconstruction in Our Study Population

INTRODUCTION The authors present the long-term clinical outcomes of revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. aim was to compare surgical technique with respect within 3 years postoperatively. MATERIAL AND METHODS evaluation reconstructions performed at our department in 2002-2017 carried out. A total 82 patients were included study, male as well female patients. Apart from outcomes, associated procedures a consequence other injuries or damage intraarticular structures, such, potential complications reconstruction and causes failure studied. same criteria followed up all - range motion (ROM) operated knee, knee stability pivot shift test, instrumental Lachman test using Rolimeter, IKDC subjective form, Tegner Lysholm scores. RESULTS In group patients, involved use harmstring tendon autograft new graft for 43 BTB 25 cadaverous 14 24 cases, two-stage surgery performed. interval between first- second-stage procedure ranged 6 weeks months, median 62.4 days. During evaluation, no difference observed whether one-stage performed, therefore this is not reflected overall evaluation. resulted following mean values when comparing preoperative final postoperative findings: value form score 42 (30-62) preoperatively increased 77 (66-89) months. obtained 1 year 84 (73-93), 88 (79-100) 89 (78-100), respectively. followedup study population 63 preoperatively, which indicates clearly poor result. rose 71 (62-88) 79 (67-92) (67-94) year, again (66-95).
