Abstract:
Objective To study the difference of transverse incision and longitudinal incision for B-T-B graft harvesting in reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament.Methods Sixty four cases of reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament from January 2004 to December 2004 were observed.Transverse incisions were used in 32 cases,and longitudinal incision were chosen in the other 32.The operation time,the length of incision,the thickness of scar,the injury of saphenous nerve and the joint function of knee were compared.Results All patients were followed up more than 1 year.The average duration of surgical procedure with longitudinal incision was 11 minutes shorter than that with transverse incision.The scar of transverse incision is smaller and thinner than that of longitudinal incision.The injury of saphenous nerve and knee joint function of knee revealed no notable difference in the 2 groups.Conclusions Transverse incision for B-T-B graft harvesting in reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament is a better choice.
