Abstrakt: Background: There are many fixation methods for hamstring tendon autograft available for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The intention of this study was to report clinical follow-up data of the Tape Locking Screw (TLS) reconstruction technique.
Hypothesis: Does TLS method give good long term results in patient satisfaction and in clinical knee tests.
Patients and Methods: We selected 119 prospectively collected patients with a two-year follow-up who had an ACL reconstruction using TLS technique. A total of 114 cases were available for follow-up two years postoperatively. The evaluation methods were instrumented laxity measurements, clinical examination and knee scores.
Results: The Lysholm and IKDC scores improved from preoperative 76 and 50 to 95 and 90, respectively. Tegner activity level before surgery was 3 and improved to 6 at 2 years postoperatively.
Discussion: ACL reconstruction with TLS technique showed good objective outcome at the 2-year follow-up. We confirmed improvement in all evaluation method variables.
Level of Evidence: Case series; level of evidence, 4.
Trial Registration: ISRCTN registry, study ID ISRCTN34011837. Registered retrospectively April 29, 2020.
Competing Interests: We do not have competing interests.
