前交叉韧带断裂和重建的临床流行病学分析

BACKGROUND: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is the primary treatment method for ACL rupture. Currently, studies on ACL reconstruction involve histology and embryology, anatomical structure, biomechanics, reconstruction materials, operating technology, and rehabilitation after reconstruction. However, clinical epidemiological studies describing ACL rupture and reconstruction remain scarce.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical epidemiological characteristics of ACL rupture and reconstruction to provide guidance for prevention and treatment of ACL rupture.METHODS: Data of 352 patients for age, gender, cause and mechanism of injury, treatment time, and the impact of ACL rupture on menisci and articular cartilage were gathered. Meanwhile, the events during surgery, operation methods and reconstruction materials were analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: ACL rupture mostly occurred in young men, and happened more often to the left knee; male patients got hurt in basketball, football and accidental injuries, while female patients got hurt in the accidental injuries, badminton and skiing injuries, internal rotation with valgus stress accounted for the predominant injury mechanism. The ACL reconstruction was mostly performed within 1-3 months after ACL rupture, often accompanied by meniscal and articular cartilage damage. Lateral meniscus injury incidence was relatively stable, medial meniscus injury incidence increased significantly over the half year after ACL rupture. Most articular cartilage injury occurred to patellar cartilage. A significant increase in medial condylar cartilage damage over 1 year after ACL rupture was often observed. Anatomic single-bundle ACL reconstruction was the primary surgical approach, the resident ridge and the lateral bifurcate ridge could be used to position bone tunnel and autogenous semitendinosus and gracilis tendon were the most commonly used reconstruction materials. Our results indicate that anatomic ACL reconstruction should be performed as early as possible in restore knee joint stability and prevent secondary injury of the medial meniscus and cartilage of medial femoral condyle.中国组织工程研究杂志出版内容重点：组织构建；骨细胞；软骨细胞；细胞培养；成纤维细胞；血管内皮细胞；骨质疏松；组织工程
