Abstract EN
Purpose.
To evaluate anterior-posterior knee laxity using two different autografts.
Material-Methods.
40 patients, (34 males and 6 women), 17–54 years old (mean: 31), were included in the present study.
Group A (4SHS = 20) underwent reconstruction using four-strand hamstrings, and group B (BPBT = 20) underwent reconstruction using bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft.
Using the KT-1000 arthrometer, knee instability was calculated in both knees of all patients preoperatively and 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery at the ACL-operated knee.
The contralateral healthy knee was used as an internal control group.
Results.
Anterior-posterior instability using the KT1000 Arthrometer was found to be increased after ACL insufficiency.
The recorded laxity improved after arthroscopic ACL reconstruction in both groups.
However, statistically significant greater values were detected in the bone-patellar tendon-bone group, which revealed reduction of anteroposterior stability values to an extent, where no statistical significance with the normal values even after 3 months after surgery was observed.
Conclusions.
Anterior-Posterior instability of the knee improved significantly after arthroscopic ACL reconstruction.
The bone-patellar tendon-bone graft provided an obvious greater stability.
