Study of Single And Double Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Graft Cross-sectional Dimensions

Not Applicable
Conditions
Rupture of Anterior Cruciate Ligament
Registration Number
NCT02834962
Lead Sponsor
Peking University Third Hospital
Brief Summary

To study the difference between single and double bundle ACL graft cross-sectional dimensions compared with native ACL using postoperative 3-D MRI.

Detailed Description

The investigators divide 100 patients with ACL rupture into 2 groups. Group A undergo single bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Group B undergo double bundle ACL reconstruction. At 3-6 weeks post operation, all the patients undergo 3-D MRI examination of both knees. The investigators reconstruct 3-D models of reconstructed ACL and native ACL, and compare the difference between single and double bundle graft.
