Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Isolated injury of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is less frequent and typically perceived as less severe than ACL injuries with concurrent damage to other knee stabilizing structures. The timing of the ACL reconstructive surgery is thought to be a critical factor that affects the patient's postoperative outcome. No previous study has compared the results of acute reconstruction (interval between injury and surgery less than or equal to 3 months) and chronic reconstruction (interval between injury and surgery greater than 3 months) of isolated ruptures of the ACL. The primary aim of this study was to assess the differences in functional outcomes between two distinct patient populations treated using the same surgical intervention. The secondary aim of this study was to determine which functional outcome variables differed between the acute isolated and chronic isolated patient populations in order to identify the etiology of any long-term functional impairment. Two separate investigations were conducted to address these questions. The first study evaluated the efficacy of an arthroscopic-assisted surgical technique using an autogenous substitute for the ACL in a group of patients who had surgery more than 3 months after isolated injury to their ACL. Fifty-five patients from Cairo, Egypt (mean age, 27.1 ± 4.5 years) underwent ACL reconstruction an average of 7.0 ± 2.6 months (range, 3.3 to 16.6 months) after injury. Patients were evaluated at an average of 2.2 ± .3 years postoperatively (range, 2.0 to 3.4 years) using a battery of objective and subjective tests. No significant differences were observed between the patients' surgical and contralateral normal knees (p>.05). International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scores questionnaire rated 48 of 55 patients (87.3%) as "normal", 5 patients (9.1%) as "nearly normal" and 2 patients (3.6%) as "abnormal"; no patients were categorized as "severely abnormal". The second investigation evaluated the effect of timing of surgery on functional outcomes. From a group of 773 arthroscopic-assisted ACL reconstruction patients in Cairo, Egypt, 200 of 234 patients (mean age, 32.2 ± 6.9 yrs.) with isolated ACL injuries participated in this study. Subjects were assigned to groups based on the interval between ACL injury and surgery. Patients in the acute reconstruction group (n=100) had surgery an average of 62 days postinjury, while the chronic reconstruction group (n=100) had surgery an average of 211 days postinjury. The mean follow-up period was 2.2 ± 0.3 years (range, 2.0 to 3.8 years) for all subjects. There were statistically significant differences between the acute and chronic group in the final score (x2 2=6.43 with p=0.04). IKDC scores rated 62% of the acute and 58% of chronic group patients as "normal", 37% of acute and 38% of chronic group patients as "near normal", and 1% of acute and 4% of chronic group knees as "abnormal". Delaying the ACL reconstruction to allow for reduction of the acute inflammatory process and participation in pre-operative rehabilitation resulted in fewer cases of postoperative arthrofibrosis in the chronic group compared to the acute group. However, delays of surgery more than 3 months between isolated injury of the ACL and surgical reconstruction resulted in greater frequency of arthritic changes.

Book Synopsis Rotatory Knee Instability by : Volker Musahl
Download or read book Rotatory Knee Instability written by Volker Musahl and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to equip the reader with the knowledge and tools required for provision of individualized ACL treatment based on the best available evidence. All major aspects of the assessment of rotatory knee instability are addressed in depth. A historical overview of arthrometers, both invasive and non-invasive, is provided, and newly developed devices for the measurement of rotatory knee laxity are considered. Recent advances with respect to the pivot shift test are explained and evidence offered to support a standardized pivot shift test and non-invasive quantification of the pivot shift. Specific surgical techniques for rotatory laxity are described, with presentation of the experience from several world-renowned centers. In addition, functional rehabilitation and “return to play” are discussed. In keeping with the emphasis on an individualized approach, the book highlights individualization of surgical reconstruction techniques in accordance with the specific injury pattern and grade of rotatory knee laxity as well as the use of individualized rehabilitation techniques. Numerous high-quality images illustrate key points and clear take-home messages are provided.
Book Synopsis Isolated Rupture of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament by Knee Hyperflexion by : A. Ekeland
Download or read book Isolated Rupture of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament by Knee Hyperflexion written by A. Ekeland and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears has increased dramatically in alpine skiing lately. We have studied the injury mechanism of an isolated ACL rupture that occurred in a 36-year-old female skier during a video-taped slalom race. The ACL rupture seemed to occur during a vigorous, weighted knee hyperflexion in a back-sitting skiing position. The skier felt a pop in the hyperflexed knee at that time but was able to ski the next turn which engaged the other leg. When preparing for a new turn engaging the previous hyperflexed knee, she lost control and fell over. Immediate arthroscopy and arthrotomy revealed an isolated complete ACL rupture. Later studies on three cadaver knee specimens displayed a tense ACL in the hyperflexed knee, and the dorsal musculature seemed to act like a fulcrum in this position. It is proposed that weighted knee hyperflexion may cause isolated tears of the ACL.

Book Synopsis The ACL-Deficient Knee by : Vicente Sanchis-Alfonso
Download or read book The ACL-Deficient Knee written by Vicente Sanchis-Alfonso and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-18 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book approaches the ACL deficient knee from a different perspective than those of the previous classical ways. The common approach is the analysis of closed compartments; anatomy, biomechanics, physical findings, imaging, surgical treatment and rehabilitation. The approach of this book is completely opposite, focusing on questions, controversies, problem analyses and problem solving, besides analyzing the possibility of prevention. Therefore, in each chapter, the biomechanics, anatomy, and other areas that are relevant to the topic are reviewed. There are chapters where highly specialized surgical techniques are presented (acute ACL repair, double bundle reconstruction, chondral lesions treatment or meniscal transplant). These chapters are written by internationally renowned specialists that are pioneers in the topic analyzed. Another interesting aspect of this book are the step by step surgical techniques videos, that will allow a knee specialist to perform the technique presented by the author. Moreover, the videos will include anatomy and physical therapy techniques.
