Clinical Outcomes of ACL Reconstruction vs ACL Repair: A Matched-Pair Analysis

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses a study comparing the clinical and functional outcomes of ACL repair versus reconstruction using either BTB or hamstring tendon grafts. The study aimed to evaluate factors such as isokinetic strength, knee laxity parameters, patient-reported outcomes, and time to return to sport. The study involved 75 patients in each group and found that ACL repair was non-inferior to reconstruction in terms of side-to-side laxity differences and subjective IKDC at 12 months. However, the study also found a higher failure rate for ACL repair, particularly in younger patients. Overall, ACL repair may be a useful treatment option, but only for specific patients. No credits were provided in the transcript.
