Five??? to Ten-year Follow-up Evaluation after Reconstruction of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament

Graft selection in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction - prospective analysis of patellar tendon autografts compared with allografts

“…Firm initial fixation is achieved by two bone blocks, allowing early rehabilitation [22]. The long-term follow-up results are good for stability and clinical outcome [6,10,17].…”

Reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament A 5-year follow-up of 89 patients

“…In the study of Johnson et al (1984), the pivot shift remained positive in 25 percent. The outcome of the reconstruction was similar in our study: 77 percent of the patients became good or excellent; only 13 percent had a residual positive pivot shift.…”

“…For the same reason, randomized, controlled studies seem to be impossible. In Sweden more than 200 reconstructions have been presented by Alm and Gillquist (1974) and Johnson e t al. (1984).…”

Prospective study of the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction associated with high tibial opening wedge osteotomy in knee arthritis associated with instability

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Hence, it is not uncommon to find medial compartment OA in combination with chronic ACL ruptures. The reconstruction of ACL can help stall the progression of OA, but the medial compartment OA with varus deformity needs realignment osteotomy.…”
