Résumé
This study compared mid-term outcomes of two anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) restoration techniques within an early total surgical care of acute knee dislocation: repair with additional internal bracing (ACLIB) and reconstruction with autograft (ACLR). Initial results at 12 months demonstrated that ACLR offered superior stability compared to ACLIB. Retrospective clinical study of patients with acute type III or IV KD. ACLIB or ACLR procedures were performed accompanied by simultaneous suture and internal bracing of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and repair with lateral augmentation of the medial and lateral complex injuries utilizing Arciero's reconstruction technique. Patient-reported outcome measurements (PROMs), instrumental stability assessment via the Rolimeter-Test, and stress radiographs were analyzed. The study involved 20 patients (5 IIIM, 5 IIIL, and 10 IV injuries) with an average follow-up of 35.2 ± 7.4 months. Notable differences in anterior tibial translation on stress radiography favouring ACLR persisted at 24-month follow-up in side-to-side difference (SSD) (ACLIB 2.8 ± 2.5 mm vs. ACLR 0.3 ± 2.6 mm; p = 0.0487), but Rolimeter test variance diminished (SSD ACLIB 2.5 ± 0.9 mm vs. ACLR 1.8 ± 1.7 mm). Both groups showed excellent PROMs (Lysholm Score: ACLIB 84.4 ± 15.8 vs. ACLR 89.9 ± 9.0; IKDC Score: ACLIB 77.1 ± 16.2 vs. ACLR 77.7 ± 8.6). Our results indicate improved anterior stability at 12 months, which persisted at 24 months after ACL reconstruction compared with ACL repair by stress radiography. Both groups showed favourable patient-reported outcomes throughout the follow-up period. Notable rates of postoperative knee stiffness were observed in both groups. These were successfully managed with early, one-time arthroscopic arthrolysis within the first seven months of treatment, resulting in no major range of motion limitations at the 24-month follow-up. Retrospective cohort study, III.
