Abstract

Purpose The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the subjective and functional outcome of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with the synthetic Ligament Advanced Reinforcement System (LARS) ligament. Methods Twenty-six patients were reviewed at an average follow-up of 11.6 years. Objective clinical evaluation was performed with stability tests. Patient-reported outcomes (Visual Analogue Scale, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, and Cincinnati Knee Rating Scale) were used to assess subjective and functional outcomes. Results Overall satisfactory results were obtained in 22 cases (84.6%). Four patients (15.4%) showed mechanical failure of the graft. No cases of synovitis or infection were reported. Conclusion LARS ligament can be considered a safe and suitable option for ACL reconstruction in carefully selected cases, especially elderly patients needing a rapid postoperative recovery. Level of Evidence Level IV, retrospective case series.

LARS人工韧带重建前交叉韧带-长期随访后的临床结果。

目的本回顾性研究的目的是评估人工合成韧带高级强化系统(LARS)韧带重建前交叉韧带(ACL)的主观和功能结果。方法对26例患者进行回顾性分析，平均随访11.6年。通过稳定性试验进行客观临床评价。患者报告的结果(视觉模拟量表，膝关节损伤和骨关节炎结果评分，以及辛辛那提膝关节评分量表)用于评估主观和功能结果。结果22例(84.6%)患者总体满意。4例(15.4%)出现移植物机械失效。无滑膜炎或感染病例报告。结论LARS韧带是一种安全、合适的ACL重建方法，对于需要术后快速恢复的老年患者尤其适用。证据等级四级，回顾性病例系列。
