Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Comparison of functional outcomes between two groups of patients who underwent ACL repair surgery with or without lateral extraarticular tenodesis (LET) with International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC).

    The outcomes were evaluated using various measures, including the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC). The IKDC is a patient-completed tool, which contains sections on knee symptoms (7 items), function (2 items), and sports activities (2 items). Scores range from 0 points (lowest level of function or highest level of symptoms) to 100 points (highest level of function and lowest level of symptoms)

    24 months

  • Comparison of functional outcomes between two groups of patients who underwent ACL repair surgery with or without lateral extraarticular tenodesis (LET) with Tegner-Lysholm scoring system.

    The outcomes were evaluated using various measures, including theTegner-Lysholm scoring system. The Tegner Lysholm scale consists of eight items with each question response being assigned an arbitrary score on an increasing scale. The total score is the sum of each response to the eight questions and may range from 0-100 where higher scores indicate a better outcome with fewer symptoms or disability.

Study Arms (2)

Primary anterior cruciate ligament repair

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Investigators performed arthroscopic primary repair in 18 patients with proximal ACL tears.

Procedure: Primary anterior cruciate ligament repairProcedure: Primary anterior cruciate ligament repair and lateral extraarticular tenodesis (LET) with iliotibial band

Primary anterior cruciate ligament repair and lateral extraarticular tenodesis (LET)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Investigators performed arthroscopic primary repair and lateral extraarticular tenodesis (LET) with iliotibial band in 20 patients with proximal ACL tears.

Procedure: Primary anterior cruciate ligament repairProcedure: Primary anterior cruciate ligament repair and lateral extraarticular tenodesis (LET) with iliotibial band

Interventions

Only arthroscopic primary anterior cruciate ligament repair was performed in patients with proximal anterior cruciate ligament tear.

In addition to primary anterior cruciate ligament repair, lateral extraarticular tenodesis was performed using the iliotibial band.

Eligibility Criteria

Age21 Years - 40 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • patients who underwent surgery within the first 3 weeks after injury
  • between the ages of 21-40 years,
  • attended regular follow-up visits,
  • Sherman type 1 proximal ACL tear with relatively preserved synovial sheath
