Abstract:
Objective To determine 2-4 year intermediate-term clinical effects of deep-freezing bone-ACL-bone allograft plus endobutton plate fixation in reconstruction anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) injuries after ACL injury and estimate the feasibility and validity of the technique.Methods We car- ried out a retrospective study on 15 cases with ACL injury of lateral knee joint reconstructed with deep- freezing bone-ACL-bone allograft plus endobutton plate fixation method from September 1999 to October 2002.The average follow up was 36.9 months.The myodynamic recovery,muscular activity,Rom Lach- man test,Pivot shift test,Lysholm score and X-ray of tunnels enlargement at intermediate term were com- pared with normal ones.Results The circumference of thigh was(0.976?0.119)cm shorter than that of the normal side.Extension limitation of less than 3?was found in 12 cases and knee flexion limita- tion for below 5?in 13.Lachman test showed negative results.Lyshohn score was increased from preoper- ative 66.2?4.6 to postoperative 89.4?3.2.X-ray showed no tunnel enlargement.Conclusions Re- construction of ACL with deep-freezing bone-ACL-bone allograft plus endobutton plate fixation under ar- throscopy can attain equal length and anatomic reconstruction of ACL.Deep-freezing bone-ACL-bone is beneficial to functional recovery of ACL.
