About
The goal of this clinical trial is to test and compare different surgical techniques in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Participants will:
Undergo pre-operative MRI imaging, ligament stability testing, and motion analysis evaluations
Be randomly assigned to either:
Receive the assigned surgical procedure
Participate in post-operative follow-ups, ligament stability testing, and motion analysis at 6 months and 1 year
Researchers will compare the single-bundle ACL + ALL group and the double-bundle ACL + ALL group to see if one technique demonstrates superior knee stability, functional outcomes (e.g. return to sport ability), and lower ACL re-tear rates.
Full description
Anterolateral ligament(ALL) combined with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction(ACL) has become more and more popular in recent years, as ALL could protect the ACL graft in tibial internal rotation, and prevent the ACL graft from rupture. Cottet et al. proposed a minimal invasive method with Y-figure construct of ALL, without acquiring additional graft from the patient. Their data showed significant lower graft re-rupture rate and faster return-to-sport(RTS). There are many different techniques of ACL combined ALL reconstruction. While these methods mostly are single bundle ACL combined ALL reconstruction. Previous cadaver studies told that the anterior cruciate ligament is composed of anteromedial and posterolateral bundle. It had been debated between single bundle and double bundle ACL reconstruction for years. As a result, it is meaningful to compare the clinical outcomes between ALL combined with single bundle or double bundle ACL reconstruction. Our studies included MRI image, arthrometer measurement and optical motion capture system. We hope to compare the clinical outcomes and sports function between A: single bundle ACL combined ALL reconstruction and B: double bundle ACL combined ALL reconstruction.
