Clinical trial of new therapy for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with the use of autologous injured tissue - Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with the use of autologous injured tissue

Ten patients were devided into two group. One is the tissue group, in which double bundle anterior-cruciate regament reconstruction (DB-ACLR) was performed with ruptured tissue and the other is the control group, in which DB-ACLR was performed without tissue. Clinical outcomes including Lysholm score, anteroposterior stability by KT-1000, and rotational stability by pivot shift test showed no significant differences between the two groups. However, especially at the femoral side, reduction of tunnel enlargement was significantly found in the tissue group compred with the control group.
