Brief Summary

Clinical and comparative evaluation of the results of autograft healing of the tendon of the semitendinus muscle in the tibial canal, after reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee joint, by the method of stabilization of the screw with a bioabsorbable method, with or without the use of autogenous spongiform bone grafts.

Detailed Description

Assessment of the results of autograft healing of the tendon of the semitendinus muscle in the tibial canal, after the reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee joint using the arthroscopic technique, with the method of tibial stabilization with a bioabsorbable screw (Arthrex) with the use of autogenous transplantation of spongy bone, drilling of the tibial canal inserted into the tibial canal prior to insertion of the screw. The detailed objectives are: comparison of the treatment results - healing and reconstruction of the autograft of the semitendinus tendon in the tibial canal of the knee joint, obtained in the study groups using two methods:

A- stabilization of the tibial attachment with a bioabsorbable screw (Arthrex) with simultaneous application to the tibial canal of autogenous cancellous bone grafts taken during the drilling of this canal and

B- stabilization of the tibial insertion with a bioabsorbable screw (Arthrex) without simultaneous application of autogenous cancellous bone grafts to the tibial canal.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Visual Analogue Score (VAS)6 months after procedure

Visual Analogue Score - subjective measure for acute and chronic pain. 100-mm VAS ratings of:

* 0 to 4 mm can be considered no pain;

* 5 to 44 mm, mild pain;

* 45 to 74 mm, moderate pain;

* 75 to 100 mm, severe pain.

IKDC SUBJECTIVE KNEE EVALUATION FORM6 months after procedure

Interpreted as a measure of function, such that higher scores represent higher levels of function and lower levels of symptoms. A score of 100 is interpreted to mean no limitation with sporting activities or daily living and the complete absence of symptoms.

Body Mass Index (BMI)6 months after procedure

BMI is interpreted using standard weight status categories:

I : below 18.5 kg/m2 - underweight;

II : 18.5 - 24.9 kg/m2 - healthy weight;

III : 25.0 - 29.9 kg/m2 - overweight;

IV : 30.0 kg/m2 and above - obesity.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)6 months after procedure

1,5 Tesli

Ultrasonography (USG)6 months after procedure

Ultrasound examination on the apparatus with the option of elastometry

Biomechanical examination6 months after procedure

On the Biodex 3 System measuring device

Tegner Activity Scale (TAS)6 months after procedure

The Tegner Activity Scale (TAS) aims to provide a standardized method in determining the level of activity prior to injury and level of activity post injury that can be documented on a numerical scale.

The Tegner activity scale is a one-item score that graded activity based on work and sports activities on a scale of 0 to 10. Zero represents disability because of knee problems and 10 represents national or international level soccer.

Tegner Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale6 months after procedure

The Tegner Lyshom Knee Scoring Scale is a patient-reported instrument that consists of subscales for pain, instability, locking, swelling, limp, stair climbing, squatting, and the need for support. Scores range from 0 (worse disability) to 100 (less disability).

Grading the Tegner Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale:

* \<65 - poor;

* 65-83 - fair;

* 84-90 - good;

* \>90 - excellent.
