Brief Summary

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction with and without Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis between high demand patients

Detailed Description

It is a randomized control trial comparing between isolated anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with and without lateral extra articular tenodesis between high demand and high risk groups with high pivot regarding failure rate (primary out come) and patient reported functions score (IKDC and Lysholm)

Inclusion Criteria
  • High demand patients (manual workers, athletes,...etc.).

  • Normal average body mass index ( 18.5 - 24.9 ).

  • Patients will be diagnosed as ACL tear by the following:

    1. History of knee traumatic event.
    2. Clinical examination ( positive Lachman test and pivot shift test).
    3. Radiological evidence of ACL tear by MRI.
  • patient with high pivot shift test.

Exclusion Criteria

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
failure rateone year follow up

retear of ACL graft confirmed by clinical examination and MRI

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
antero-posterior instability measureat 3,6,9 and 12 months

measure AP instability by KT1000 lachmeter for injured and non injured knee

International knee documentation committee score (IKDC)at 3,6,9,12 months

The IKDC is a patient-completed tool, which contains sections on knee symptoms (7 items), function (2 items), and sports activities (2 items). Scores range from 0 points (lowest level of function or highest level of symptoms) to 100 points (highest level of function and lowest level of symptoms)

Lysholm scoreat 3,6,9,12 months

The Lysholm Knee Score calculates and grades an overall score from 0 to 100 based on 8 domains: squatting, locking, pain, stair climbing, support, instability, and edema. Physicians use this condition-specific, subjective outcome score to assess patient progress after surgery or injury to the knee. Scores range from 0 points (lowest level of function or highest level of symptoms) to 100 points (highest level of function and lowest level of symptoms)
