Brief Summary

Comparative evaluation of functional results and survival rate of peroneus longus tendon - PLT and hamstring tendon - HT used for reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament.

Detailed Description

Comparison of treatment results - survival and reconstruction of autographs and functional results of the knee joint, and functional results of the ankle joint, obtained in the study groups operated using two methods:

A- the use of a long fibular tendon autograft taken from the lower leg of the same limb and used as a graft for ACL reconstruction (anterior cruciate ligament) of the knee joint; B- the use of Hamstring muscle tendon autograft (Semitendonus and slender muscle) taken from the lower leg of the same limb and used as a graft for ACL reconstruction (anterior cruciate ligament) of the knee joint.

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.

Tegner Activity Level 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.

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.

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.

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.

The American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS)6 month after procedure

is a standardized evaluation of the clinical status of the ankle-hindfoot. It incorporates both subjective and objective information. Patients report their pain, and physicians assess alignment. The patient and physician work together to complete the functional portion.each measure is comprised of nine questions and cover three categories: Pain (40 points), function (50 points) and alignment (10 points). These are all scored together for a total of 100 points. Scores range from 0 to 100, with healthy ankles receiving 100 points.
