Knee stability assessment on anterior cruciate ligament injury: Clinical and biomechanical approaches

Abstract Background To illustrate a novel technique of treating anterior cruciate ligament injury. Methods If the ACL stump is strong enough and of good quality, we combine the ACL reconstruction and repair together. Results It is assumed that this will be better for the knee biomechanics in contrast to the simple reconstruction. This technique may also save the graft. That means we can only harvest one tendon gracilis or semitendinosus to satisfy the need of the knee stability. Conclusions This technique of combining the reconstruction and repair protects the knee proprioceptive feelings, accelerate the revascularization and strengthen the reconstructed ACL. This technique may also save the ligament graft and avoid the complications of the donor site. We are looking forward to comparing the outcomes of this technique to the outcomes of simple ACL reconstruction.

Abstract If the ACL stump is strong enough and of good quality, we combine the ACL reconstruction and repair together. The main aim of this technique is to retain the autologous ACL stump to protect the proprioception and accelerate the revascularization and may even promote the healing of the bone to tendon. It is assumed that this will be better for the knee biomechanics in contrast to the simple reconstruction. This technique may also save the graft. That means we can only harvest one tendon gracilis or semitendinosus to satisfy the need of the knee stability.
