Abstrakt: Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcome of arthroscopic reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) with short femoral tunnel.
Methods: From May 2013 to June 2017, 128 patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction were performed with Transportal technique. Among them, 32 cases had short femoral tunnel were included, including 13 males and 19 females, aged 25.8 (17 to 43) years old, with a mean history of (4.5±1.1) months. The tibial tunnels were drilled in the middle of the footprint of the ACL, and femoral tunnels were drilled by transportal technique. Grafts were fixed with Endobutton at the femoral side and with interference screw at the tibial side. The changes of symptoms and signs were observed and the anterior tibial displacement was measured. The function of knee joint was evaluated by Lysholm score and Tegner score.
Results: All patients were followed up for over 2 years. At the latest follow-up, 30 patients were negative and 2 patients were positive in knee shift test; 28 patients were negative in Lachman sign, 4 patients were positive in degree I; 30 patients were negative in anterior drawer test, 1 patient was positive in degree I and 1 patient was positive in degree II. The anterior displacement of the tibia increased by (2.6±1.8) mm compared with the healthy side, which was significantly different from that before operation ( t =19.77, P <0.05). Lysholm score of 82.2±6.1 was significantly higher than that before operation ( t =17.33, P =0.001). According to Lysholm score evaluation, 15 cases got an excellent result, 10 were good, 7 were fair, and no bad results, with a significant difference compared with that before operation ( z =-7.151, P <0.05). Tegner motor function score of (7.4±0.6) was significantly different from that before operation ( t =9.11, P =0.000 5). After operation, the knee joint movement ability of the patients improved significantly. Twelve patients could participate in antagonistic sports and 15 patients could participate in non-antagonistic sports. Fifteen patients were very satisfied with the curative effect, 13 patients were satisfied with the curative effect.
Conclusions: The incidence of short femoral tunnel in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with transportal technique is 25%. At present, the clinical effect of patients with short tunnel is acceptable. However, due to the lack of comparative study, the effect of short tunnel on the curative effect is still unclear.
