Histological findings of tendon-bone healing following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring grafts

BACKGROUND: The purpose of the study was the histological examination of tendon-bone healing of hamstring grafts after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. METHODS: During five arthroscopies done 6-14 months after ACL reconstructions, biopsies of the wall of the former drilled femoral canal were obtained. Four patients were primarily operated on using a suspending device (Endobutton, Acufex Microsurgical, Mansfield, MA, USA, and Transfix, Arthrex, Naples, FL, USA) for femoral fixation, one patient was reconstructed with a biodegradable interference screw directly inserted between the tendon and the wall of the canal. Biopsies were obtained using a tube harvester during re-arthroscopy. Three grafts were stable, two grafts were unstable, and revision of the ACL was performed. RESULTS: Histologically, in the four cases of reconstruction with a button or a rectangular pin, biopsies resembled granulation tissue without insertion of fibers between the tendon tissue and the bony wall. A wide area of woven bone was noted adjacent to the pre-existing lamellar bone. In contrast, the tendon-bone junction in the knee reconstructed with a biodegradable interference screw resembled a zone of metaplastic fibrous cartilage between the tendon graft and the lamellar bone. Collagen fibers connecting the tendon-bone interface occurred under polarized light microscopy. CONCLUSION: We conclude that the use of hamstring grafts for ACL reconstruction can lead to different histological pattern of tendon-bone healing. Micromotion of the hamstring graft inside the drilled canal can be play a role in tendon-bone healing.

Hamstring tendon autograft better than bone patellartendon bone autograft in ACL reconstruction A cumulative meta-analysis and clinically relevant sensitivity analysis applied to a previously published analysis

Background?Current debate on treatment options for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction complicate the choice between hamstring and bone patellartendon bone autografts. We hypothesized a priori that cumulative meta-analysis (a form of sensitivity analysis) might show that the evidence for reduction of morbidity by hamstring grafts could have been reached at an earlier time. Furthermore, we hypothesized a priori that modern state-of-the-art hamstring graft fixation technique would give similar results regarding stability as bone-patellar tendon-bone autografts.

Methods?We performed a cumulative meta-analysis and sensitivity analysis based on femoral graft fixation techniques to compare hamstring autograft and bonepatellar tendon-bone autografts in ACL reconstruction derived from a previously published meta-analysis.

Results?Cumulatively, that hamstring autograft reduces anterior knee pain had already reached statistical significance in 2001 (relative risk 0.49 (95%CI: 0.32–0.76; p = 0.001, I2 = 0%)). The modern endobutton hamstring graft fixation technique (2 studies) yielded similar stability in the Lachman test as bone-patellar tendon-bone grafts, with a relative risk of 1.1 (95%CI: 0.82–1.5; p = 0.6, I2 = 0%). Exclusion of the endobutton group explains the increased laxity in the hamstring graft group.

Interpretation?Cumulative meta-analysis strengthens the evidence for reduced morbidity using hamstring tendon autograft for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Sensitivity analysis focusing on state-of-the-art hamstring graft fixation techniques further weakens the evidence that bone-patellar tendon-bone autografts provide better stability.

前交叉韧带重建术后骨道增宽的临床研究

目的分析前交叉韧带（ACL）重建术后骨道增宽的发生率、增宽程度、骨道形状、相关因素及其与临床效果的关系。方法回顾性研究应用胭绳肌腱重建ACL手术后骨道的变化,通过X线片测量ACL重建术后的骨道直径。对51例患者行ACL重建手术,其中男性30例,女性21例。所有患者均获随访,平均随访时间16个月。主要研究及观察指标：患者性别、年龄、身高等因素,移植物的固定方式,随访时的关节活动度、膝关节稳定性检查（KT2000）及肌力恢复情况,以及股骨和胫骨的骨道直径、骨道位置和角度等。数据分析采用统计学卡方检验及相关性分析。结果前交叉韧带重建术后的骨道增宽率股骨85％-94％,胫骨65％;增宽程度股骨51％-53％,胫骨40％～44％。胫骨骨道增宽的形态以O型（冠位片）及V型（矢位片）最常见。骨道增宽与年龄、身高及体重指数相关。股骨骨道位置偏前会引起股骨骨道的增宽,股骨骨道角或胫骨骨道角越小,则股骨骨道越容易增宽。结论以腘绳肌腱为移植物重建前交叉韧带手术,术后骨道增宽的发生率与程度,股骨骨道较胫骨骨道明显。骨道增宽与患者年龄、身高以及骨道定位相关,其中股骨和胫骨骨道的位置及角度是引起术后骨道增宽的主要因素之一。骨道增宽与KT2000结果和术后肌力恢复情况相关。     

Arthroscopic hamstring anteriorcruciate ligament reconstruction with endobutton femoral fixation

Numerous techniques of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction have been described in literature. All haveinherent advantages and disadvantages. Autogenous hamstring grafts provide adequate strength while avoiding donor site morbidity associated with bone-patellar tendon-bone harvest. Endobutton femoral fixation allows precise femoral tunnel placement without a second incision. This article describes our technique of endoscopie ACL reconstruction using a doubled semitendinosus autograft with Endobutton femoral fixation.

Posterior wall blowout on computed tomography after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

BackgroundDuring anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, even when a posterior wall of the femoral bone tunnel is identified, computed tomography (CT) occasionally demonstrates a breach of the posterior femoral cortex of the femoral bone tunnel, i.e., posterior wall blowout, after ACL reconstruction (posterior wall blowout-like phenomenon). This study aimed to investigate the influence of the posterior wall blowout-like phenomenon on clinical outcomes after ACL reconstruction using hamstring tendon.MethodsA total of 105 patients who underwent CT examination two weeks after ACL reconstruction were enrolled. A cortical suspension device was used for femoral side fixation in all cases. Posterior wall was identified in all cases during the surgery. The side-to-side difference in anterior knee laxity, pivot shift test, Lysholm knee score, the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective form, and the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) were evaluated one year after the surgery. A second CT examination was performed 6–12 months after the surgery, if a posterior wall blowout-like phenomenon was identified in the first CT examination.ResultsTwo weeks after the surgery, 16 of the 105 patients showed a posterior wall blowout-like phenomenon. Twelve of the 16 cases demonstrated a regenerated posterior femoral cortex of the femoral bone tunnel on their second CT images. There were no significant differences between the posterior wall blowout-like phenomenon group and the normal posterior wall group in terms of a side-to-side difference in anterior knee laxity (0.4 ± 1.5 mm and 0.1 ± 1.6 mm, respectively), pivot shift test, Lysholm knee score, IKDC score, and KOOS at one year after surgery. The length and diameter of the femoral bone tunnel were not significantly different between the two groups.ConclusionsPosterior wall blowout-like phenomenon after ACL reconstruction using a cortical suspension device did not negatively influence clinical outcomes.Level of evidenceIII – retrospective comparative clinical study.

Quadrupled bone-semitendinosus ACL reconstruction: a prospective clinical investigation in 100 patients

Abstract The hypothesis of our study was that a quadrupled bonesemitendinosus tendon graft could combine the advantage of bone-tobone healing with the high cross-sectional area of a quadrupled hamstring graft in ACL reconstruction. ACL reconstruction with a semitendinosus tendon graft was performed on 100 patients with isolated ACL injury from January 1996 to December 1999: femoral fixation was obtained with Endobutton and tibial fixation with Fastlok. Patients were evaluated for standard knee scores and functional strength tests, postoperative pain rating, knee radiographs taken after surgery and at final follow-up, magnetic resonance images at 3 and 6 months, isokinetic flexion-extension and internal-external rotation tests at 3, 6, and 12 months. Computerized laxity analysis was performed at final evaluation. Average surgical time was 85 minutes, including 13 minutes for graft preparation; 90% of the patients were discharged within 24 h. Subjective knee rating was 80%; kneeling test was positive in 7% and Werner score was 44 (range, 30–48). Lachman test was negative in 90% at final evaluation (mean follow-up, 38 months). Sensory changes at the anterior part of the proximal tibia were present in 30% at 3 months and 10% had definite hyposthesia. MRI showed graft incorporation at 3 months. Computerized laxity analysis revealed 90% with less than 3-mm side-to-side differences. Isokinetic testing showed normal hamstring and quadriceps peak torques at 12 months. The functional strength tests were normal by 6 months. Average Noyes score was 87.9, Lysholm score 93, and Tegner activity rating 6.0 (pre-injury, 6.1). IKDC score showed 90 normal or nearly normal knees, 9 abnormal, and one severely abnormal knee. Quadrupled bone-semitendinosus is a viable graft for ACL reconstruction and should be considered, especially in patients with pre-existing extensor mechanism problems.

Anatomische vordere Kreuzbandersatzoperation mittels Semitendinosus- und Grazilissehne in fremdmaterialfreier Press-fit-Technik

An innovative technique for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has been developed in 1998 which allows the grafts to be fixed by press-fit to the femoral and tibial tunnel without any hardware. The semitendinosus (ST) and gracilis tendons (GT) are built into a sling by tying a knot with the tendon ends and securing the knot after conditioning by sutures. For the femoral tunnel the anteromedial porta is used. The correct anatomic position of the single femoral tunnel is checked using intraoperative lateral fluoroscopy by placing the tip of a K-wire to a point between the anteromedial and posterolateral bundle insertion sites. A femoral bottleneck tunnel is drilled to receive the knot of the tendons. The tendon loops filled the tibial tunnel without any suture material. The loops are fixed at the tibial tunnel outlet with tapes over a bone bridge. Between 1998 and 1999 a prospective randomized study (level 1) was conducted comparing this technique with a technique using bone-patellar-tendon graft and press-fit fixation without hardware. In conclusion it was found that implant-free press-fit ACL reconstruction using bone-patella-tendon (BPT) and hamstring tendon (HT) grafts proved to be an excellent procedure to restore stability and function of the knee. Using hamstring tendons (ST and GT) significantly lower donor site morbidity was noted. Kneeling and knee walking pain persisted to be significantly more intense in the BPT up to 9 years after the operation. Re-rupture rates, subjective findings, knee stability and isokinetic testing showed similar results for both grafts. This is the first level I study which demonstrates cartilage protection by ACL reconstruction as long as the meniscus is intact at index surgery, shown by bilateral MRI analysis 9 years post-operation. There was no significant difference in the average grade of chondral and meniscus lesions between BPT and HT and in comparison of the operated to the intact knee, except for grade 3-4 lesions found at the 9 year follow-up, which were significantly higher in the BPT group.     

Biomechanics of the anterior cruciate ligament and implications for surgical reconstruction

Abstract Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is regarded as critical to the physiological kinematics of the femoral-tibial joint, its disruption eventually causing long-term functional impairment. Both the initial trauma and the pathologic motion pattern of the injured knee may result in primary degenerative lesions of the secondary stabilisers of the knee, each of which are associated with the early onset of osteoarthritis. Consequently, there is a wide consensus that young and active patients may profit from reconstructing the ACL. Several factors have been identified as significantly influencing the biomechanical characteristics and the functional outcome of an ACL reconstructed knee joint. These factors are: (1) individual choice of autologous graft material using either patellar tendon-bone grafts or quadrupled hamstring tendon grafts, (2) anatomical bone tunnel placement within the footprints of the native ACL, (3) adequate substitute tension after cyclic graft preconditioning, and (4) graft fixation close to the joint line using biodegradable graft fixation materials that provide an initial fixation strength exceeding those loads commonly expected during rehabilitation. Under observance of these factors, the literature encourages mid-to long-term clinical and functional outcomes after ACL reconstruction.
