Gradual stabilization and narrowing of bone tunnels following primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to dynamically assess variations in tunnel diameters following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and investigate correlations with patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and graft maturity based on signal-to-noise quotient (SNQ).
Methods: Tunnel diameter and tunnel position were measured using three-dimensional models derived from computed tomography (CT) data. Postoperative graft maturity and integration were evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Clinical outcomes were assessed through PROs, which included the International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Evaluation Form, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores and Lysholm scores. The correlation between tunnel enlargement extent, PROs and SNQ values, as well as correlations between confounding factors, tunnel diameter differences and SNQ were analyzed.
Results: A total of 73 participants underwent primary ACLR and scheduled follow-ups. At the segment of the articular aperture, the femoral tunnel was enlarged by 32.3% to 10.4 ± 1.6 mm (p < 0.05), and the tibial tunnel was widened by 17.2% to 9.6 ± 1.2 mm (p < 0.05) at the 6-month follow-up. At 1 year postoperatively, diameters at the articular aperture were not further increased on the femoral (n.s.) and tibial (n.s.) sides. In early postoperative follow-up, the femoral tunnel was anteriorly and distally shifted, coupled with posterior and lateral deviation involving the tibial side, exhibiting minimal migration at 1-year follow-up. The degree of tunnel widening was not correlated with PROs and SNQ values. Age, gender, body mass index (BMI), time from surgery to follow-up, concomitant injuries and autograft type were not correlated with tunnel diameter differences and SNQ.
Conclusions: The femoral and tibial bone tunnels exhibited eccentrical widening and gradually stabilized at 1 year following ACLR. Furthermore, the enlarged bone tunnels were not correlated with unsatisfied PROs and inferior graft maturity.
期刊介绍:
Few other areas of orthopedic surgery and traumatology have undergone such a dramatic evolution in the last 10 years as knee surgery, arthroscopy and sports traumatology. Ranked among the top 33% of journals in both Orthopedics and Sports Sciences, the goal of this European journal is to publish papers about innovative knee surgery, sports trauma surgery and arthroscopy. Each issue features a series of peer-reviewed articles that deal with diagnosis and management and with basic research. Each issue also contains at least one review article about an important clinical problem. Case presentations or short notes about technical innovations are also accepted for publication.
The articles cover all aspects of knee surgery and all types of sports trauma; in addition, epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment and prevention, and all types of arthroscopy (not only the knee but also the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, ankle, etc.) are addressed. Articles on new diagnostic techniques such as MRI and ultrasound and high-quality articles about the biomechanics of joints, muscles and tendons are included. Although this is largely a clinical journal, it is also open to basic research with clinical relevance.
Because the journal is supported by a distinguished European Editorial Board, assisted by an international Advisory Board, you can be assured that the journal maintains the highest standards.
Official Clinical Journal of the European Society of Sports Traumatology, Knee Surgery and Arthroscopy (ESSKA).
