Introduction: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a crucial ligament structure of the knee that plays a significant role in knee joint stability and competitive sports performance. In order to reestablish knee stability, ACL reconstruction (ACLR) in the presence of rupture has been recognized as the most common surgical management procedure. Case: This study reported six cases of chronic ACL rupture reconstruction using peroneus longus tendon graft. All patients underwent an arthroscopic ACL repair procedure in Sanglah Hospital Bali. In terms of functional outcome, all patients were assessed using the scoring of AOFAS for the ankle and IKDC for the knee. Result: The functional outcomes of the IKDC and AOFAS score were good from all six patients who already underwent ACL reconstruction using peroneus longus graft with a minimum follow-up of one year. Discussion: Chronic ACL ruptures were successfully treated using the peroneus longus tendon graft. Intraoperatively, there were no significant problems from the harvested peroneus longus tendon graft and ACL reconstruction with the graft. All patients showed no complications, including the local infection following the operation. Rehabilitation procedure post-ACL reconstruction was performed at the Rehabilitation Unit in Sanglah General Hospital. Conclusion: Peroneus longus tendon graft is considered a suitable choice of graft for ACL reconstruction. It presented satisfactory results, effectiveness, and safety based on the AOFAS and IKDC scores.

Introduction: Arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction can be performed using autograft from various sources namely bone patellar tendon bone graft, hamstring graft, or peroneus longus tendon. Purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcome and donor site morbidity of ACL reconstruction with peroneus longus tendon versus hamstring tendon autograft in patients with an isolated ACL injury. Methods: Patients who undervent isolated single bundle ACL reconstruction were allocated in peroneus and hamstring groups and observed prospectively. Functional score (IKDC, & Modified Cincinnati score) was recorded preoperatively and 1 year post-operatively. Graft diameter was measured intra-operatively. Donor site morbidity were assessed with thigh circumference measurments and ankle scoring by MRC grading and FADI Score. Results: 56 patients (28-Hamstring and 28-peroneus group) met the inclusion criteria. The average Peroneus longus graft diameter (8.8±0.8) was significantly larger than the Hamstring graft diameter (8.1±0.9). In terms of 1-year postoperative outcomes statistically there is very little comparable difference between both these grafts when used for arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. Conclusion: Our study brings forth the superior efficacy and quality of double stranded peroneus longus tendon autograft in term of good functional score (IKDC, & Modified Cincinnati score), larger graft diameter, less thigh hypotrophy, and excellent ankle function based on FADI Score. Prospective cohort study, level II.

AbstractThe ipsilateral peroneus longus tendon (PLT) was utilized as an autograft for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction of patients with acute ACL rupture and grade III medial collateral ligament (MCL) injury. We investigated the efficacy and safety of this alternative autograft compared with autologous hamstring tendon (HT). Biomechanical testing of the graft options was performed and compared with the native ACL. Thirty-eight patients with acute ACL ruptures and grade III MCL injuries were treated with ACL reconstruction with a doubled autologous PLT or quadrupled autologous HT. Knee stability and function was evaluated clinically with the Lachman test and KT-2000 arthometer as well as subjectively with functional scores. Effects on the donor ankle were evaluated by biomechanical testing. The ultimate tensile strengths of doubled PLT and quadrupled HT were significantly higher than that of the native ACL and the ultimate tensile strength of doubled PLT was comparable with that of quadrupled HT. There were no significant differences in clinical or functional scores between the two groups. There were no significant differences in pre- and postoperative biomechanical testing of the donor ankle. PLT is a suitable alternative autograft for an ACL reconstruction in patients with a concomitant grade III MCL injury without a significant biomechanical disadvantage to the ankle donor site.

Anterior Cruciate

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is a knee ligament that is very important in maintaining the stability of the knee joint. The incidence of isolated ACL tears remain a common orthopaedic injury with significant increase in the rate of ACL reconstruction over time. Several types of autografts used for ACL reconstruction have some potential occurrence of donor site morbidity, including Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone (BPTB), hamstring tendon, and quadriceps tendon. Peroneus longus tendon can be an option as a graft donor because it has biomechanical characteristics that are not significantly different from the hamstring tendon. Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the functional outcome and donor site morbidity of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using peroneus longus tendon autograft. Methods: This study was an observational analytical with retrospective cohort design using medical record. The functional outcomes were assessed with IKDC, Modified Cincinnati, Tegner-Lysholm, and KSS scoring system 12 months after surgery. Donor site morbidity was assessed with AOFAS and FADI scoring system, eversion strength, and plantarflexion strength. Results: Seventy five patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria (59 males and 16 females). Mean of peroneus longus tendon graft diameters were 8.39 ± 0.69 mm (range 6.5-10 mm). Significant increase of functional score (p<0.05) were found 12 months after surgery. Mean score of IKDC was 55.26 ± 12.76 preoperative; 96.69 ± 3.36 postoperative, Modified Cincinnati was 65.45 ± 16.25 preoperative; 93.29 ± 7.04 postoperative, Tegner-Lysholm was 67.80 ± 15.29 preoperative; 89.71 ± 8.35 postoperative, KSS (Knee) was 65.33 ± 19.46 preoperative; 95.17 ± 5.94 postoperative, and KSS (Function) was 76.52 ± 20.25 preoperative; 93.20 ± 10.29 postoperative. Mean score of AOFAS was 98.93 ± 3.11 and FADI was 99.80 ± 0.59 at six months after surgery. The eversion and plantarflexion strength were not significantly different (p>0.05) between donor and contralateral side ankle. There was neurapraxia in 3 (4%) patients at six months postoperative. Conclusion: The peroneus longus tendon can be an ideal source of graft for ACL reconstruction because it has good functional outcome and minimal donor site morbidity.

Background: Patellofemoral problems are not uncommon among post-anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction patients. Hamstring autograft harvesting-related factor is one of the suspected causes. A lack of tibiofemoral internal rotation force due to strength deficit causes the patella tends to shift laterally. Purposes: Peroneus longus tendon has been proposed as an alternative graft source due to its adequate tensile strength and minimal donor site morbidity to the knee biomechanics, including the patellofemoral joint. This tendon does not cross the knee joint and thus does not affect patellofemoral alignment and biomechanics. This study aims to compare patellofemoral problems between hamstring and peroneus longus autograft harvested-patients following ACL reconstruction. Material and methods: Thirty-one subjects who underwent primary single-bundle ACL reconstruction between September 2018 and September 2019 and met the inclusion criteria were grouped into the hamstring group (n=16) and peroneus longus group (n=15). Both groups were evaluated retrospectively. The follow-up assessment was conducted on the phase II rehabilitation program. The assessed variables were pain, crepitus, and the Indonesian-validated Kujala score. Results: No significant differences in pain and crepitus were found between both groups. There were significant differences in the Kujala score between both groups (P < .001). The peroneus longus group reported an averagely higher score than the hamstring group. Conclusion: Single bundle ACL reconstruction using peroneus longus tendon autograft produces less patellofemoral symptoms and functional limitation than using hamstring tendon autograft.

Introduction: Primary full thickness Peroneus Longus Tendon Graft (PLTG) for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR) has been used with good clinical outcome. Recently, it is designated as a promising graft option for ACLR. The effect of harvesting PLTG on donor ankle function is still not completely understood. Peroneus Longus Tendon (PLT) is thought to play a major role in proprioceptive regulation of the ankle joint. All the studies till date did cross-sectional assessments of ankle and foot function at or after 6 months that might have overlooked the timely detection of donor site morbidities. Aim: To evaluate the ankle function and compare the affected and sound limb function in subjects with an ACLR with autologous PLTG starting at an early postoperative visit upto six months. Materials and Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted at a tertiary rehabilitation centre from March 2019 to March 2021 including the follow-up evaluation. As per the inclusion criteria, 63 participants after ACLR with PLTG were considered for assessment using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle and hind foot scale and Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) scale at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months post-ACLR follow-up. Comparison between sound and affected limbs was done during all follow-ups. The statistical analysis was done using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 18.0. Both FAAM and AOFAS ankle and foot scores were analysed with non parametric tests. Results: Mean age of 63 participants were 29.25 years. Median of AOFAS and FAAM score at 6 week, 3 month, and 6 month post- ACLR follow-ups were (88, 98 and 100) and (97.22, 98.80 and 100), respectively. Statistically significant increase in AOFAS and FAAM scores were observed at 3 month and 6 month as compared to 6 week follow-ups with p=0.001 and p-value=0.001 respectively. The group comparison between the affected and sound side functional scores at different study visits showed statistically significant greater values for the sound ankle than the affected ankle (FAAM: 6 week: p-value=0.001; 3 month: p-value=0.001; 6 month: p-value=0.001 and AOFAS p-value=0.001; p-value=0.001; p-value=0.001, respectively). Conclusion: The evaluation of functional outcomes showed gradual and linear improvement at subsequent postoperative visits and restores fully to 100% at 6 month indicating a near- normal to normal donor ankle function following ACLR with PLTG by 6 months. The group comparison showed only marginal but significant difference between affected and sound ankle function.

BACKGROUND: Anthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is one of the most successful operations in sports medicine. At present, ligament autografts have been the best method due to good histocompatibility, rapid healing, no cross-contamination, and low cost of treatment. However, autografts do not have infinite amount and are also not always feasible. Anterior half of peroneus longus tenden autograft is likely to become a source of autograft with many advantages. This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes of anthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using anterior half of peroneus longus tendon autograft (AHPLT). AIM: To evaluate the initial outcome of ACL reconstruction arthroscopy by anterior half of peroneus longus tendon. METHODS: This is a prospective non-controlled case series. RESULTS: A prospective study on 30 patients (from 9 / 2016 to 01 / 2019) had both ACL and MCL injury who had operated ACL reconstruction using anterior half of peroneus longus tendon autograft (AHPLT) at Department of General Orthopaedic and Trauma, Viet Duc hospital. Our outcome: the year average 35.4 ys, the rate of ACL rupture combined with meniscus injury was 40%. The average diameter AHPLT autograft is 7.0 mm. The function Lysholm scores improved from 59 to 94.27 postoperative 6 months. No difference beetwen the AOFAS scale of preoperative and postoperative. CONCLUSION: Peroneus longus tendon is recommended to be a safe and practical autograft resource for anthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
