All-Inside Single-Bundle for ACL Reconstruction With Full Thickness of the Peroneus Longus Tendon Compared to the Six-strand-hamstring Autograft

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is the current gold standard for restoring knee stability. Hamstring tendon (HT) autograft is the most popular graft choice for ACL reconstruction worldwide. Other autografts include bone-patellar tendon-bone and quadriceps tendon, yet no globally accepted gold standard of graft choice exists for use in ACL reconstruction.

The peroneus longus tendon (PLT) has been reported as an autograft choice for ligament reconstruction[2], but there is little information regarding the clinical outcomes using the peroneus longus tendon (AHPLT) compared with hamstring tendon autograft. Therefore, we are interested in investigating whether the clinical outcomes of the PLT autograft were equivalent to the Six-strand- hamstring tendon autograft.

Not yet recruiting

Detailed Description

prospective randomized clinical study to compare the results of all-inside anatomical ACL reconstruction using the AHPLT and using Six-strand- tendon autograft.

Randomization will be done with inclusion criteria of primary ACL rupture in adult patients and exclusion criteria of serious osteoarthritis, revision cases, and multiple ligament injuries.

Preoperatively, physical examinations including the anterior drawer test and the pivot shift Test were performed to judge the stability of the knee joint. All of the patients will be evaluated with an International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) 2000 subjective score, a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and an American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS).a knee joint arthrometers was also used with knee flexion of 30° at 134 N.

All of the tests will be performed three times by another experienced orthopedic surgeon who is not involved in the surgery, and the mean of the three measurements will be taken as the final value.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)
Time Frame: Baseline
Using a ruler, the score is determined by measuring the distance (mm) on the 10-cm line between the "no pain" anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-100. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity. Based on the distribution of pain VAS scores in post-surgical patients, mild, moderate, or severe, the following cut points on the pain VAS have been recommended: no pain (0-4 mm), mild pain(5-44 mm), moderate pain (45-74 mm), and severe pain (75-100 mm).
Baseline
the anterior drawer test
Time Frame: Baseline,

the anterior drawer test is used to assess the integrity of the anterior cruciate ligament. With the knee flexed to 90 degrees, the foot is stabilized by sitting on it. The proximal tibia is grasped firmly with both hands, and the tibia is forcibly pulled anteriorly, noting any or abnormal movement compared with the opposite side.

to estimate how severe the injury is by how far they can displace the ACL. They grade the tear from one to three (I, II, or III), with three being the worst tear. A grade I tear moves 5 millimeters, a grade II tear moves between 5 and 10 millimeters, and a grade III tear moves more than 10 millimeters.

Month 8
The pivot shift
Time Frame: Baseline
The pivot shift is a dynamic but passive test of knee stability, carried out by the examiner without any activity of the patient. It shows a dysregulation between rolling and gliding in the knee joint. The patient lies in supine. The movement is a combination of axial load and valgus force, applied by the examiner, during a knee flexion from an extended position. When the test is positive, it indicates an injury of the anterior cruciate ligament

Time Frame: Week 3
Using a ruler, the score is determined by measuring the distance (mm) on the 10-cm line between the "no pain" anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-100. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity.

Week 3
International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) 2000 subjective score
Time Frame: Baseline
The score is interpreted as a measure of function such that higher scores represent higher levels of function and lower levels of symptoms. A score of 100 is interpreted to mean no limitation with activities of daily living or sports activities and the absence of symptoms.

knee joint arthrometers
Time Frame: Baseline

a value less than 3 mm means that there is no ACL injury difference residing between 3 and 5 mm, it is considered that anterior posterior laxity is unusually high. The ACL might therefore be partially or completely torn.

difference higher than 5 mm, it is considered that anterior posterior laxity is very high which indicates a complete ACL tear.
