[Remote functional evaluation after reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament in amateur sportsmen with sedentary work].
Giornale Italiano di Medicina del Lavoro Ed Ergonomia 2022 September
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most commonly injured knee ligament. Currently there are two commonly used surgical procedures: middle third patellar tendon grafts (bone-patellar tendon-bone: BTB) and semitendinosus autografts or semitendinosus combined with gracilis tendon autografts (ST/G). Purpose. The aim of this study is to compare the rehabilitation results over time of amateur sportsmen who have undergone anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery by means of one of the two most commonly used procedures: middle third patellar tendon grafts (bone-patellar tendon-bone: BTB) and semitendinosus and gracilis tendon autografts (ST/G). Method. 30 subjects divided into two groups, (15 BTB and 15 ST / G), were evaluated during rehabilitation and at three follow-up periods (16 weeks, 24 weeks, 2 years). Evaluation involved clinical examination, isokinetic tests, and functional rating scales: Lysholm and IKDC. Results. The clinical evaluation resulted in the following mean values: the value of the Lysholm score was 78 in both group at 16 weeks, 91 in group A and 94 in group B at 24 weeks, 98 in group A and 99 in group B at 2 years; the value of the IKDC score was 14 in group A and 15 in group B at 16 weeks, 12 in group A and 14 in group B at 24 weeks, 14 in group A and 15 in group B at 2 years. No major complications occurred during rehabilatation Conclusions. Subjects in both groups showed good neoligament stability up to the 24-week follow up. At the 2-year follow-up the subjects of group B showed poor neoligament stability that prevented the return to the previous level of sporting activity; all the subjects with high intensity sports activity needed a greater muscle strengthening. No statistically significant differences between the two groups are seen.
