Introduction: Ligament injuries commonly occur in the knee region, and the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) being the most usually injured. Currently, autograft or allograft is the most common material used for ACL reconstruction surgery. The result of the ACL reconstruction depends on the healing process of the graft or ligamentization between graft and bone tunnel. This study aims to evaluate the effect of Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) intratunnel injection to stimulates graft healing following ACL reconstruction surgery, as measured by histology examination. Method: This study was an experimental laboratory study with a post-test-only control group design using male Rattus novergicus. A random sampling procedure was used to choose the sample, which was then divided into two groups. The two groups consist of the control group that only had ACL reconstruction surgery and the treatment group that had reconstruction surgery with SVF administration. Result: This study used Advanced Ligament Maturity Index (LMI) score and showed a significant improvement of graft healing in the treatment group compared to the control group. The measurement is based on the cellular, collagen, and vascular aspect testing with P < 0,05 for each subscore. Conclusion: SVF intratunnel injection stimulates graft healing after ACL reconstruction surgery and causes a significant increase in cellular, collagen, and vascular aspects in the graft.

Context: Deficits in knee position sense following reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) can delay an athlete’s return to sport participation and increase the risk of reinjury. Deficits in position sense postreconstruction have been evaluated using either a position-reproducing or position-matching task. Objective: The aim of our study was to combine both to determine which assessment would be more effective to identify deficits in knee position sense. Design: Longitudinal laboratory-based study. Participants: Eleven athletes (6 men and 5 women; mean age, 20.5 [1.2] y), who had undergone ACL reconstruction with an ipsilateral hamstring autograft, and 12 age-matched controls. Interventions: Position sense was evaluated at 6 and 12 months postreconstruction and once for the control group. In addition, peak isokinetic knee extension and flexion strength, at 60°/s and 180°/s, was assessed for the ACL reconstruction group to evaluate possible influences of muscle strength on knee joint position sense. Main Outcome Measures: The variables include the angular differences between the reference limb and indicator limb, and peak torque values of isokinetic knee extension and flexion. Results: Significant matching differences were identified at 6 months postsurgery on the position-matching task, but not at 12 months postsurgery. No significant between-group and within-subject differences were identified on the position-reproducing task. No significant matching errors were identified for the control group. There was no correlation between errors in position sense and maximum isokinetic strength. Conclusion: The position-matching task is more sensitive than the position-reproducing task to identify deficits in knee position sense over the first year following ACL reconstruction surgery.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the clinical, functional, and biomechanical symptoms in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture before and after ACL reconstruction. The study enrolled 20 patients and 20 healthy subjects as controls. Walking biomechanics was assessed at three time points: before surgery and three months and a year or more after surgical reconstruction. Impact loads on both sides differed significantly from the respective values before surgery (p<0.05). Walking cycle duration decreased with time after surgery. On both sides (affected and unaffected), hip movement amplitudes were significantly smaller than in control (p<0.05). They remained so in the follow-up periods after the reconstruction. Before ACL reconstruction, the amplitude of the main flexion of the knee was significantly reduced both on the affected and unaffected sides. The amplitude gradually increased after the reconstruction, and a year post-surgery, it reached, on the operated side, the same values as in the control group. Complete functional recovery of the knee joint was not achieved within a year after the ACL surgical reconstruction. The remaining changes, however, were not clinically pronounced and could only be detected by instrumental gait analysis. The compensatory processes developed bilaterally, in both the hip and knee joints.

Abstract Purpose The effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on tendon allograft maturation in a large animal anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction model was reported for the first time. It was hypothesised that compared with non-augmented ACL reconstruction, BMSCs and PRP would enhance graft maturation after 12 weeks and this would be detected using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods Fifteen sheep underwent unilateral tendon allograft ACL reconstruction using aperture fixation and were randomised into three groups (n = 5). Group 1 received 10 million allogeneic BMSCs in 2 ml fibrin sealant; Group 2 received 12 ml PRP in a plasma clot injected into the graft and bone tunnels; and Group 3 (control) received no adjunctive treatment. At autopsy at 12 weeks, a graft maturation score was determined by the sum for graft integrity, synovial coverage and vascularisation, graft thickness and apparent tension, and synovial sealing at tunnel apertures. MRI analysis (n = 2 animals per group) of the signal–noise quotient (SNQ) and fibrous interzone (FIZ) was used to evaluate intra-articular graft maturation and tendon–bone healing, respectively. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient (r) of SNQ, autopsy graft maturation score and bone tunnel diameter were analysed. Results The BMSC group (p = 0.01) and PRP group (p = 0.03) had a significantly higher graft maturation score compared with the control group. The BMSC group scored significantly higher for synovial sealing at tunnel apertures (p = 0.03) compared with the control group. The graft maturation score at autopsy significantly correlated with the SNQ (r = − 0.83, p < 0.01). The tunnel diameter of the femoral tunnel at the aperture (r = 0.883, p = 0.03) and mid-portion (r = 0.941, p = 0.02) positively correlated with the SNQ. Conclusions BMSCs and PRP significantly enhanced graft maturation, which indicates that orthobiologics can accelerate the biologic events in tendon allograft incorporation. Femoral tunnel expansion significantly correlated with inferior maturation of the intra-articular graft. The clinical relevance of this study is that BMSCs and PRP enhance allograft healing in a translational model, and biological modulation of graft healing can be evaluated non-invasively using MRI.

ABSTRACTFollowing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, the ligament is often reconstructed with a tendon graft passed through bone marrow tunnels. This procedure results in a staged repair response where cell death occurs in the tendon graft, the graft is repopulated by host cells outside the graft, and tendon-to-bone attachments form at the graft/bone interface. While this healing process is well appreciated, the biological mechanisms that regulate it including the cellular origin of the repair response is poorly understood. Embryonic progenitor cells expressing growth and differentiation factor 5 (GDF5) give rise to several mesenchymal tissues in the joint and epiphyses. Therefore, we hypothesized that cells from a GDF5 origin, even in the adult tissue, would give rise to cells that contribute to the stages of repair following ACL reconstruction. ACLs were reconstructed in Gdf5Cre;R26R-tdTomato lineage tracing mice to monitor the contribution of Gdf5Cre;tdTom+ cells to graft revitalization and examine the extent to which these cells are capable of creating mineralized attachments within the bone tunnels. Anterior-posterior drawer tests were used to establish the stability of the knee following the procedure and demonstrated 58% restoration in anterior-posterior stability. Following reconstruction, Gdf5Cre;tdTom+ cells within the bone marrow expanded by 135-fold compared to intact controls in response to the injury. These cells migrated to the tendon graft interface, repopulated regions of the graft, and initiated tendon-to-bone attachments. These cells continued to organize and mature the attachments yielding a zonal insertion site at 4 weeks with collagen fibers spanning across unmineralized and mineralized fibrocartilage and anchored to adjacent bone. The zonal attachment possessed organized tidemarks with concentrated alkaline phosphatase activity similar to normal tendon or ligament entheses. This study established that mesenchymal cells from a GDF5 origin contribute to the creation of zonal tendon-to-bone attachments within bone tunnels following ACL reconstruction. Future studies will target this cell population to modulate the repair response in order to better understand key biological mechanisms that regulate tendon-to-bone repair.

BACKGROUND: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) remnants have important biomechanical, vascular and proprioceptive function.AIM: To determine the influence of the ACL residual remnants after partial and complete ACL ruptures on postoperative clinical results in patients with remnant preserving ACL reconstruction.PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study included 66 patients divided into two groups. In patients from the investigation group remnant preserving ACL reconstruction was performed, in patients from the control group single bundle ACL reconstruction was performed. The results were assessed by Rolimeter measurements, Lysholm and Tegner scores and proprioception evaluation.RESULTS: The mean side-to-side difference of anterior tibia displacement (mm) was improved from 4.4 ± 1.06 to 0.4 ± 0.7 in the investigation group, and from 4.6 ± 0.68 to 1.9 ± 0.64 in the control group (p < 0.001). Difference in the angles in which the knee was placed by the device and the patient has improved from 1.5 ± 0.96° to 0.5 ± 0.53° in the investigation group and from 1.8 ± 0.78° to 1.3 ± 0.97° in the control group (p < 0.05).  Tegner and Lysholm scores showed no difference between the groups.CONCLUSION: Preservation of the ACL residual bundle provides a better knee stability and proprioceptive function.

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in adolescents is commonly performed with hamstring tendon autografts. Small graft diameter is one risk factor for graft failure and options to upsize the autologous hamstring graft include allograft augmentation and tripling one or both of the hamstring tendons. Purpose: To evaluate the association of upsized hamstring graft constructs and graft rupture after ACL reconstruction. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A retrospective review was performed of patients 19 years of age and younger who underwent hamstring autograft ACL reconstruction with or without soft tissue allograft augmentation from 2012 to 2016. All patients were skeletally mature or had less than 2 years of growth remaining. Graft constructs included 4-strand doubled semitendinosus and gracilis autograft (4-STG), 5-strand tripled semitendinosus and doubled gracilis autograft (5-STG), and 6-strand doubled gracilis and semitendinosus autograft augmented with a soft tissue allograft (6-STGAllo). The primary outcome measure was graft rupture. Results: A total of 354 patients with a mean age of 15.3 years (range, 10-19 years) were included. Graft constructs included 4-STG (198 knees), 5-STG (91 knees), and 6-STGAllo (65 knees). The average diameter of the graft constructs was 8.3 mm for 4-STG, 8.9 mm for 5-STG, and 9.2 mm for 6-STGAllo ( P < .001). The mean follow-up was 26 months (range, 6-56 months). There were 50 (14%) graft ruptures and 24 (7%) contralateral ACL tears. The graft failure rates were 14% for 4-STG, 12% for 5-STG, and 20% for 6-STGAllo ( P = .51). The average time to graft failure was 16 months (range, 2-40 months). After adjusting for age and graft size, patients who had allograft-augmented grafts (6-STGAllo) had 2.6 (95% CI, 1.02, 6.50) times the odds of graft rupture compared with 4-STG. There was no significant difference in failure rate between patients who had 5-STG grafts compared with 4-STG (OR, 1.2; 95% CI, 0.5, 2.7). Conclusion: ACL reconstruction with hamstring tendon autografts augmented with allografts has a significantly increased risk of graft rupture compared with comparably sized hamstring tendon autografts. In situations where the surgeon harvests an inadequately sized 4-strand autograft, we recommend obtaining a larger graft diameter by tripling the semitendinosus rather than augmenting with an allograft.

Background: Vancomycin presoaking of the graft has been shown to decrease infection rates in some case series of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Purpose: We sought to substantiate the efficacy of vancomycin presoaked grafts for the prevention of infection after ACL reconstruction. Methods: We performed a systematic review of Medline and OVID to assess the incidence of postoperative infection in studies comparing patients undergoing ACL reconstruction with the use of vancomycin presoaked ACL grafts and a control group of patients undergoing ACL reconstruction without the use of presoaked grafts. The efficacy of vancomycin presoaking was calculated using the Agresti-Coull confidence interval. Relative risk (RR) was calculated for every study and the total sample. Results: The 11 studies that met inclusion criteria comprised 24,298 patients. In patients with vancomycin presoaking of the graft, 1 infection was reported in 8764 cases (0.01% rate). In the studies with control groups that did not have vancomycin presoaked grafts, there were 125 infections in 15,534 ACL reconstructions (0.8% rate). The efficacy of vancomycin presoaking in preventing infection after ACL reconstruction was 99.9% (0.999%–1.000% CI). The overall RR obtained was 0.07 (0.03–0.16 CI). All included studies were retrospective cohort studies (level III). Conclusions: Vancomycin presoaking of the graft has been shown to decrease infection rates after ACL reconstruction in studies of low evidence level. This suggests the need for prospective randomized controlled trials addressing this issue so that recommendations on the routine use of vancomycin presoaking of ACL grafts can be made with confidence.

Extremity Injuries

Background: Little is known about career length after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in Major League Soccer (MLS), the top men’s professional soccer league in the United States. Further, it is unspecified whether athletes returning to soccer after ACL reconstruction are at a higher risk for injuries, beyond new knee injuries. Purpose: To examine career length and the incidence of lower extremity injuries in MLS athletes after ACL reconstruction in comparison with age-matched controls. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Injuries and athletic exposures (AEs; games and training sessions) were recorded in the HealtheAthlete database, the injury surveillance system of MLS. All athletes who had undergone ACL reconstruction and returned to MLS were identified and age-matched with controls. Multivariate analyses of variance were used to compare career length and percentage of regular/postseason games that athletes started, substituted, or did not play. Generalized linear model regressions were used to examine the injury risk. Results: Athletes in the ACL group had shorter careers (1.3 ± 1.3 years) than those in the control group (2.5 ± 1.3 years) ( P < .01), but while they were playing, athletes in the ACL group participated in a similar number of AEs as those in the control group (169.9 ± 129.0 vs 171.6 ± 124.9 AEs, respectively; P = .95). Athletes in the ACL group started fewer regular/postseason games (36.7% ± 34.3% vs 60.1% ± 33.8%, respectively; P < .01) and did not play in more regular/postseason games (47.4% ± 35.5% vs 31.0% ± 34.4%, respectively; P = .03) compared with those in the control group. The ACL group was not at a significantly greater risk for lower extremity injuries compared with the control group (relative risk, 0.87; 95% CI, 0.55-1.37). Conclusion: Although MLS athletes after ACL reconstruction are not at a greater risk for lower extremity injuries, this study suggests that they are not utilized in regular/postseason games as frequently and that their careers in MLS are shorter than age-matched controls. Further research is necessary to elucidate reasons for these athletes’ shortened MLS careers. This study supports the view of return to sport not as a single time point but as a continuum from return to participation to return to play and return to performance.
