Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The investigators aimed to compare the clinical results of primary repairs and Lateral Extraarticular Tenodesis applied with primary repairs in the treatment of proximal ACL tears.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Procedure: Primary anterior cruciate ligament repair
  • Procedure: Primary anterior cruciate ligament repair and lateral extraarticular tenodesis (LET) with iliotibial band
N/A

Detailed Description

The investigators aimed to compare the clinical results of primary repairs and Lateral Extraarticular Tenodesis applied with primary repairs in the treatment of proximal ACL tears.The aim of this study was to determine the potential for improvement with the primary repair of acute ACL tears with the proximal tear, which may be an important advance for improvements in proprioception and preservation of natural kinematics.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Primary anterior cruciate ligament repair

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

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

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

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 repair and lateral extraarticular tenodesis (LET) with iliotibial band
In addition to primary anterior cruciate ligament repair, lateral extraarticular tenodesis was performed using the iliotibial band.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. 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). [24 months]

    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)

  2. 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. [24 months]

    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.
