Patients With Acl Injury and Varus Knee Will Undergo Acl Reconstruction Alone, or Combined With High Tibial Osteotomy in the Same Session.
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the results of single-stage anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction combined with high tibial osteotomy and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction alone in knees with varus malalignment and anterior cruciate ligament deficiency. Evaluation will be clinically, radiologically and time needed to return to pre injury activity level. Our Hypothesis: Simultaneous anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and high tibial osteotomy provides good functional scores, low rate of graft failure and early return to pre injury activity level with minimal added morbidity.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Lysholm knee score [1 month post operative]
knee score from 0 to 100 where a higher score means better outcome.
- Lysholm knee score [3 month post operative]
knee score from 0 to 100 where a higher score means better outcome.
- Lysholm knee score [6 month post operative]
knee score from 0 to 100 where a higher score means better outcome.
- Tegner activity level [1 month post operative]
activity level from 0 to 11 where 11 means highest level
- Tegner activity level [3 months post operative]
activity level from 0 to 11 where 11 means highest level
- Tegner activity level [6 months post operative]
activity level from 0 to 11 where 11 means highest level
- Return to pre injury level [through study completion, an average of 7 months]
time needed by the patient in months post operative to return to pre injury activity level
Secondary Outcome Measures
- knee range of motion [pre operative, 1 month, 3months, and 6 months post operative]
measure knee range of motion in degrees "flexion and extension"
- knee stability [pre operative, 1 month, 3months, and 6 months post operative]
Lachman knee stability test
