Résumé
Objective To compare the clinical results of anterior cruciate ligament(ACL)reconstruction using anterior tibial muscle tendons allograft and hamstring tendons autograft.Methods According to the graft used for ACL reconstruction,60 patients with chronic ruptures of ACL were divided into group A(30 patients,using anterior tibial muscle tendons allograft)and group B(30 patients,using semitendinosus and gracilis tendons autograft).The average follow-up periods after surgery were 29.4 and 31.6 months respectively.Lysholm,Tegner,IKDC clinical rating scales and KT2000 were used for evaluation pre-and post-operation.The muscle strength of the extension,flexion,internal rotation and external rotation of knees was evaluated by the isokinetic tester.Results There were statistically significant differences in Lysholm,Tegner,IKDC clinical rating scales and KT2000 results between pre-and postoperation(P0.05).The Isokinetic muscle strength tester showed that the knee muscle strength of the internal rotation and flexion were decreased post-operative in group B,rather than group A,which showed no significant differences between pre-and post.operation(P<0.05).Conclusion For ACL reconstruction under arthroscopy,anterior tibial muscle tendons allograft was a favorable substitute for autograft materials for its convenience,satisfactory clinical effect and less complications.
