Overview
This study aims to compare the functional outcomes of patients with ACL rupture following ACL reconstruction surgery using hamstring grafts, between the all-inside technique and the complete tibial tunnel technique. The hamstring graft, which serves as the tissue substitute for the damaged ACL, is harvested from the posterior thigh of the patient and used to replace the torn ligament during reconstruction
Detailed description
This Study was conducted usingdouble blind randomized controlled trial (RCT), patients who agree to participate in the study will be randomized to undergo ACL reconstruction using either the All-inside technique or the complete tibial tunnel technique. Clinical outcomes, including tibial translation, pain severity, IKDC score, and Tegner score, will be evaluated through anamnesis and physical examination at the outpatient orthopedic clinic at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postoperatively.
Interventions
- Procedure All-Inside Techniques
All-inside ACL reconstruction technique avoids creating full-length bone tunnels. Instead, it uses retrograde drilling to form bone sockets, and the graft is secured with adjustable-loop suspensory fixation on both the femur and tibia. - Procedure Complete Tibial Tunnel techniques
Complete Tibial Tunnel Technique is a conventional technique for ACL reconstruction which involves the creation of full-length bone tunnels in the tibia for graft passage via an anterograde approach. Graft fixation is typically achieved using a bio-interference screw on the tibial side and a fixed-loop suspensory device on the femoral side
Primary outcome measures
- Tibial Translation [Time frame: Before surgery, 3rd month, 6th month, 9th month, and 12 month after surgery]
- Pain scale using Visual Analogue Scales [Time frame: Before surgery, 3rd month, 6th month, 9th month, and 12 month after surgery]
- International Knee Documentation Comittee (IKDC) Score [Time frame: Before surgery, 3rd month, 6th month, 9th month, and 12 month after surgery]
- Tegner-Lysholm Score Knee Scoring Scale [Time frame: Before surgery, 3rd month, 6th month, 9th month, and 12 month after surgery]
- Hamstring Graft Diameter [Time frame: Intra-operative]
