Comparing 2-Year Outcomes of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Either Patella-Tendon or Semitendinosus-Tendon Autografts: A Non-Randomised Prospective Study

Abstract: ACL reconstruction is associated with a significantly better IKDC knee score and laxity measurement at 2-year follow-up. However, we were unable to demonstrate a significantly better long-term outcome in knee score or laxity to anterior translation with either a patella-tendon autograft or a semitendinosus-tendon autograft.

“…One study found that after 6 months ACLinjured participants had the same isokinetic knee extensor and -flexor strength than control participants. Several studies reported that the mean isokinetic strength deficit for knee flexors or extensors decreased from surgery to 6 months postoperatively, with the highest measured deficit occurring at 6 months postoperatively [3,7,15,39,53,75,79].…”

“…Além dessa inibição e consequente atrofia das fibras do quadríceps, há a facilitação da atividade dos isquiotibiais para consequente estabilização dinâmica do joelho (29) . Essa teoria do padrão de controle motor facilitando a atividade dos isquiotibiais é observada em estudos que investigaram os déficits no torque flexor no pós-operatório do LCA em pacientes submetidos à reconstrução utilizando ambos os tipos de enxerto, não encontrando diferenças entre grupos (30,31) , corroborando os resultados encontrados em nosso estudo, onde não houve diferenças significativas entre os grupos GC, GTP e GTF nos déficits encontrados nos flexores do joelho. No entanto, esses resultados discordam dos de outros autores que observaram déficits significativos no torque flexor em pacientes submetidos à reconstrução do LCA com tendões flexores (26,32) .…”

“…8 They had good to excellent IKDC scores in an average of 61% of patients treated with BPTB graft. They had anterior knee pain in 8 (32%) of patients treated with BPTB graft whereas in our study we had good to excellent IKDC scores in 76% of our patients which is more as compared to their study and the incidence of anterior knee pain was similar which was 16(32%) of 50 patients in our series.…”
