Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

From June 1, 2016, to July 1, 2017, a total of 406 patients with ACL rupture were randomly assigned to three different ACL surgeries: anatomical single-bundle, central axial single-bundle and double-bundle. A prospective randomized cohort study was conducted.

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Prospective randomized cohort of patients with anterior cruciate ligament rupture assigned to three procedures and followed up two years after surgery.In this trial, patients diagnosed with anterior cruciate ligament rupture in the outpatient clinic were randomly assigned to the following three procedures: central axial single-bundle reconstruction (CASBR), anatomical single-bundle reconstruction (ASBR), and double-bundle reconstruction (DBR).

Study Groups

ASBR group

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using STG, absorbable interface nails and ASBR procedures.

Group Type OTHER

Anatomical single-bundle reconstruction(ASBR method)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

406 people were enrolled in the outpatient clinic, after screening for inclusion and exclusion. Of the remaining 243 patients who participated in this RCT, 81 were randomly assigned to the ASBR group to receive anatomic single-bundle reconstruction.We used hamstring as an autograft in the operation, and we chose the anatomical footprint of the anterior cruciate ligament for the positioning of the bone tunnel.Arthroscopic ASB ACL reconstruction was conducted with AMP technique.

rehabilitation training protocol

Intervention Type OTHER

The rehabilitation program for all patients followed a standardized Process. The first day after surgery, quadriceps sets, straight-leg raises, and prone hangs were initiated. All of the patients were allowed to walk with crutches and braces but with no weightbearing. The range of motion (ROM) progressed from 0 to 90 degrees 3 to 7 days postoperatively and reached 115 degrees within fourth week. Closed kinetic chain exercises and full weightbearing were started in the sixth week. Patients progressed to running without braces at 4 to 6 months.

Educate patients on return to sports and the importance of quadriceps strength

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients were interviewed by telephone preoperatively, 6 months postoperatively, and 1 year postoperatively to ask about Tegner scores and to encourage reasonable return to sports from 6 months postoperatively.

Inform patients of the possibility of osteoarthritis in patients undergoing ACL reconstruction preoperatively, 6 months postoperatively, and 1 year postoperatively in telephone interviews.Tell the patient that return to sports and quadriceps strength is a must if the knee cartilage damage is to improve.

CASBR group

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using STG, absorbable interface nails and CASBR procedures.

Group Type OTHER

Central axial single-bundle reconstruction(CASBR group)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

406 people were enrolled in the outpatient clinic, after screening for inclusion and exclusion. Of the remaining 243 patients who participated in this RCT, 81 were randomly assigned to CASBR group.Arthroscopic ASB ACL reconstruction was conducted with transtibial technique and using Hamstring as autograft.Single-bundle reconstruction is used in CASBR reconstruction surgery.

The footprint of the implant on the lateral femoral condyle was chosen to be the location of the AMB bone canal in DB reconstruction surgery while the footprint of the implant on the tibial plateau was chosen to be the location of the bone canal of the PLB in DB reconstruction surgery.

DB group

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using STG, absorbable interface nails and DBR procedures.

Group Type OTHER

Double-bundle reconstruction (DBR method)

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

406 people were enrolled in the outpatient clinic, after screening for inclusion and exclusion. Of the remaining 243 patients who participated in this RCT, 81 were randomly assigned to the DBR group to receive double bundle reconstruction.The hamstring autograft is still used for double-bundle reconstruction. The surgical approach is to treat the native ligaments as anteromedial bundles and posterolateral bundles and restore the structure of the two bundles of ligaments in the process of a
