Impact of Graft Tunnel Placement on Short-Term Clinical Outcome Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction by Rogger M, Al-Dadah O

“…Overall, no significant correlation was demonstrated between graft tunnel placement and PROM scores, except for a weak association between femoral tunnel positioning on lateral view radiographs and the overall Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (rho=0.37, p=0.038) and the Lysholm score (rho=0.36, p=0.034) and also tibial tunnel placement on lateral view radiographs and the EQ-5D VAS score (rho=0.37, p=0.037). …”

ACL repair vs. reconstruction: a meta-analysis of outcomes across different tear characteristics by Hongcheng Zheng, Yongtao Zeng, Nacke Daoerji, Husen Wang, Bin Tang, Li Shu

“…Failure/Revision Rates: Repair demonstrated numerically higher failure rates (OR = 2.24, 95% CI 1.30–3.86, P = 0.004) and revision rates (OR = 2.01, 95% CI 1.21–3.33, P = 0.007) versus reconstruction.Hardware removal: increased hardware removal incidence was observed in repair groups (OR = 8.19, 95% CI 2.89–23.20, P < 0.001).AP knee laxity: reconstruction showed marginally lower AP knee laxity (WMD = 0.30, 95% CI 0.06–0.53, P = 0.01).Patient-reported outcomes: no significant differences in IKDC (WMD = 1.31,95%CI: −0.01–2.63;P = 0.05) or Tegner scores (WMD: 0.01; 95% CI: -0.28– 0.30;P = 0.94). Lysholm scores slightly favored reconstruction (WMD = 1.62,; 95% CI: 0.35–2.89;P = 0.01).Key subgroup findings: repair achieved comparable outcomes to reconstruction in: (1) RCT-designed studies, (2) Acute repairs (< 21 days post-injury). …”

Reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament using the Press‐Fit‐Hybrid technique—A cohort study with an up to 10‐year follow‐up by Niko Schauer, Martin Fischer, Rejane Golbach, David A. Groneberg, Fabian Holzgreve, Daniel Niederer, Daniela Ohlendorf, Adalbert Missalla

“…Subjective knee function was self‐reported using the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and Lysholm scores. The level of sport activities was assessed using the Tegner Activity Scale (TAS), and quality of life was evaluated with the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Quality of Life subscale (KOOS‐QoL). …”
