Abstract
Objectives
Few studies have determined how individuals who undergo a second ACL reconstruction (ACLR) perform in terms of objective and patient-reported outcomes in the early rehabilitation period compared to individuals who undergo primary ACLR. This study investigated the difference in strength and functional outcomes 3–5 months postoperatively in revision ACLR patients compared to primary ACLR patients.
Design
Cross-Sectional Retrospective Chart Review.
Setting
Single university-based orthopaedic practice.
Participants
143 patients who underwent ACLR (121 primary, 22 revision)
Main outcome measures
Isokinetic knee extension and flexion strength at 60°/s and 180°/s, the IKDC, KOOS, and ACL-RSI 4.2 ± 0.7 months after ACLR.
Results
After controlling for age, sex, graft source, and time since surgery, there were no significant group differences for ACL-RSI (p = 0.771), IKDC (p = 0.950), and KOOS subscale scores (p = 0.335–0.740). Similarly, there were no significant group differences in isokinetic knee extension peak torque at 60°/s and 180°/s (p = 0.155, p = 0.147) and knee flexion peak torque 60°/s and 180°/s (p = 0.279, p = 0.325). Group LSIs were comparable for isokinetic knee extension and knee flexion.
Conclusion
Three to five months postoperatively, revision ACLR patients performed similarly in terms of thigh strength, limb symmetry, and patient-reported function compared to primary ACLR patients.
期刊介绍:
Physical Therapy in Sport is an international peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for the publication of research and clinical practice material relevant to the healthcare professions involved in sports and exercise medicine, and rehabilitation. The journal publishes material that is indispensable for day-to-day practice and continuing professional development. Physical Therapy in Sport covers topics dealing with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of injuries, as well as more general areas of sports and exercise medicine and related sports science.
The journal publishes original research, case studies, reviews, masterclasses, papers on clinical approaches, and book reviews, as well as occasional reports from conferences. Papers are double-blind peer-reviewed by our international advisory board and other international experts, and submissions from a broad range of disciplines are actively encouraged.
