Filter by:The present experimental study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of isoinertial strength training of the hamstrings using machines in patients with ACL-R during the intermediate post-intervention phases.
This is a prospective, observational cohort study that will examine how sleep quality impacts postoperative pain and opioid consumption for pediatric patients. The investigators will administer a questionnaire preoperatively to determine which patients have poor or good sleep quality. They will then compare postoperative pain and opioid use between groups for two weeks following surgery. For a secondary aim, investigators will use electronic medication vials (eCAP) to monitor participants' medication use at home and compare to self-reporting.
The Thermo-LCA study is a diagnostic interventional study for assessment of knee temperature of asymptomatic patients with ACL reconstruction compared with unoperated healthy contralateral knee. The aim of the study is to analyze thermographic images obtained from the knees of asymptomatic patients with ACL reconstruction that occurred between the previous 2 and 5 years, to assess the presence of inflammation in the knee with reconstructed ACL compared with the contralateral.
Anterior knee pain which might be due to patellofemoral malalignment is an inevitable post operative complication after an ACL reconstruction (ACLR). We combined the double bundle ACLR technique with lateral release technique to prevent patellofemoral malalignment post ACLR.
The goal of this [type of study: observational study] is to [detect concomitant KF and ALL injury in knees with ACL injury using MRI in both adult and pediatric patients and compare the effect of KF injury and multiple risk factors (concomitant injury to the ALL, medial collateral ligament [MCL], or anterior, central, or posterior part of the medial or lateral meniscus) on anterolateral rotatory laxity as measured by the pivot-shift test in a clinical setting.]. The main question [s] it aims to answer are: [Does the main risk factor for a high-grade pivot shift after acute ACL injury differ between pediatric patients and adults?] [Does Concomitant KF injury significantly affect the pivot-shift phenomenon in pediatric patients with acute ACL injury?] Researchers will compare [71 pediatric patients and 469 adults] to see if [main risk factor for a high-grade pivot shift after acute ACL injury differs between pediatric patients and adults?].
The purpose of this study is to compare double-bundle and single-bundle techniques for ACL reconstruction in a long-term 15-year follow-up. Our hypothesis is that the DB technique is better than the SB technique.
The purpose of this study is to assess the intra-operative and post-operative effects of tourniquet use during ACL reconstruction. We hypothesize that: 1. Limited tourniquet use will not significantly impact arthroscopic visualization nor the time it takes to complete an ACL reconstruction. 2. Limited tourniquet use will lead to significantly less patient pain intra-operatively and in the immediate peri-operative period. 3. Patients who undergo an ACL reconstruction with limited tourniquet use will have earlier return of quadriceps functions as compared to those undergoing reconstruction with the use of a tourniquet.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a frequent and disabling injury in athletes. Most of the time, ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is consider for regaining function and returning to preinjury sports while reducing the risk of secondary injuries. However, the risk of secondary severe knee injury is increased after ACLR, especially in athletes returning to strenuous activities. If strength symmetry is considered as an important factor in the Return-to-sport (RTS) decision, there is conflicting data about the association between strength symmetry and the risk of second knee injury after ACLR. The main objective of this study was to test if knee muscles strength symmetry at 4 months was associated with the psychological readiness and incidence of subsequent severe injury of both knees at a minimum 2 years follow-up after ACL-R.
The purpose of this study is to explore the development of, and patient outcomes associated with, the use of individually printed knee extender in conjunction with a video-based home pre-habilitation program for patients who have suffered an ACL rupture before surgery.
Background: Bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) and a double-looped semitendinosus gracilis (hamstring group) graft are commonly used for ACL reconstruction. Short-term and mid-term studies show little to no significant difference between the two groups, and there are a few long term studies to compare results between the two grafts. Purpose: To compare the results after using either BPTB grafts or hamstring grafts 18 years after ACL reconstruction. Study design: Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence II. Methods: 114 patients with ACL rupture between 2001 and 2004 were randomized to reconstruction with either BPTB graft or a hamstring graft. Patients were operated at four major hospitals. The 18-year follow-up evaluation included isokinetic testing of muscle strength, patient-reported outcome measures, clinical knee examination and an assessment of radiological osteoarthritis using the Kellgren-Lawrence classification. Hypothesis:Hypothesis is that there will be no difference in the long-term outcome between the two groups, as well hypothesis of no difference in patients with prosthesis after ACL reconstruction, arthrosis difference in operated knees and the rate of graft failure between the two groups. Previous follow-up studies showed a significant difference in total flexion work between the two groups, so detecting a persistent difference between the groups will be point of interest.
