Strength symmetry after autograft anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
Journal of ISAKOS : joint disorders & orthopaedic sports medicine(2023)
摘要
OBJECTIVE:To compare postoperative isometric quadriceps strength indices (QI%) and hamstring strength limb symmetry indices (HI%) between partial thickness quadriceps tendon (pQT), full thickness quadriceps tendon (fQT), and bone-patellar-tendon bone (BPTB) autograft anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).
METHODS:Patients with primary ACLR with pQT, fQT, or BPTB autograft with the documentation of quantitative postoperative strength assessments between 2016 and 2021 were included. Isometric Biodex data, including QI% and HI% (calculated as the percentage of involved to uninvolved limb strength) were collected between 5 and 8 months and between 9 and 15 months postoperatively.
RESULTS:In total, 124 and 51 patients had 5-8- and 9-15-month follow-up strength data, respectively. No significant difference was detected between groups for sex. However, patients undergoing fQT were found to be older than those undergoing BPTB (24.6±7 vs 20.2±5; p = 0.01). There were no significant differences in the number of concomitant meniscus repairs between the groups (pQT vs. fQT vs. BPTB). No significant differences were detected in median (min-max) QI% between pQT, fQT, and BPTB 5-8 months [87 % (44%-130 %), 84 % (44%-110 %), 82 % (37%-110 %) or 9-15 months [89 % (50%-110 %), 89 % (67%-110 %), and 90 % (74%-140 %)] postoperatively. Similarly, no differences were detected in median HI% between the groups 5-8 months or 9-15 months postoperatively.
CONCLUSION:The study was unable to detect differences in the recovery of quadriceps strength between patients undergoing ACLR with pQT, fQT, and BPTB autografts at 5-8 months and 9-15-months postoperatively.
