Abstract: | Purpose To investigate the differences in the incidence and severity of knee osteoarthritis (OA), joint space narrowing, knee laxity, and knee flexion and extension strength between an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-reconstructed knee and the contralateral non-reconstructed limb. Methods Retrospective case series of patients from a single surgeon that had an ACL reconstruction with a semitendinosus/gracilis autograft more than 12 years ago. Outcome measures included radiographic analysis, International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Evaluation Form (IKDC), KT-1000, Tegner Activity Level Scale, Lysholm Knee Score, ACL quality of life score (ACL-QOL) and knee flexor/extensor strength. Results Seventy-four patients consented and sixty-eight (43 male, 25 female) were included for analysis. Average age (SD) at the time of surgery was 31.2 (±9.1) years. At follow-up of 14.6 (1.9) years, 9 % had re-ruptured their ACL, whereas 5 % ruptured the contralateral ACL. Reconstructed knees had a greater incidence and severity of OA (P < 0.01). Medial meniscus surgery was a strong predictor of OA. Seventy-five per cent scored a normal or nearly normal knee on the IKDC. The mean Lysholm score was 75.8 % and Tegner Activity Level Scale scores decreased (P < 0.001) from the time of surgery. Knee extension strength was greater in the contralateral knee at speeds of 60°/s (P = 0.014) and 150°/s (P = 0.012). Conclusions Reconstructed knees have a greater incidence and severity of OA than non-reconstructed knees, which suggests degenerative changes are secondary to ACL rupture. Medial meniscus surgery is a strong predictor of OA. Despite this, 75 % of patients reported good outcomes. |
