To examine differences in anterior tibial translation in 3 groups: single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-reconstructed, double-bundle ACL-reconstructed, and ACL-intact knees under gradual dynamic quadriceps muscle activation.
Thirty male patients underwent successful single-bundle (n = 15) and double-bundle (n = 15) ACL reconstructions; 15 healthy controls were included in the study. Anterior tibial translation was assessed at 30° of knee flexion in the resting position (0% quadriceps activation) and under 50% and 100% of maximum quadriceps concentric contraction using an isokinetic dynamometer with the KT-2000 arthrometer securely attached to the participants' knees.
The 2 ACL-reconstructed groups were similar regarding International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Score (KOOS), Tegner, and Lysholm scores and preliminary isokinetic evaluation (P = .38). Quadriceps activation significantly affected anterior tibial translation (P = .001, α = 0.98). In all 3 study groups, anterior tibial translation was significantly higher under 100% quadriceps activation compared with 0% contraction (P = .01) and 50% quadriceps activation (P = .047). There were no between-group differences in anterior tibial translation with 0%, 50%, or 100% quadriceps activation (P = .46).
Under quadriceps muscle activation, anteroposterior knee laxity in ACL-intact and ACL-reconstructed knees is gradually increased. Single-bundle and double-bundle ACL-reconstructed knees show a similar increase in anterior tibial translation under gradual quadriceps contraction. When comparing different ACL reconstruction techniques in the experimental setting, dynamic, in addition to static, testing is advised to reach a comprehensive assessment of anteroposterior knee stability.
Level III, retrospective comparative study.
研究三组膝关节在股四头肌逐渐动态激活情况下的胫骨前移差异,这三组分别为单束前交叉韧带(ACL)重建组、双束ACL重建组以及ACL完整组。
30例男性患者成功接受了单束(n = 15)和双束(n = 15)ACL重建手术;15名健康对照者纳入本研究。使用等速测力计并将KT-2000关节测量仪牢固地连接到参与者的膝盖上,在休息位(股四头肌激活0%)以及最大股四头肌向心收缩的50%和100%时,于屈膝30°评估胫骨前移情况。
在国际膝关节文献委员会(IKDC)、膝关节损伤和骨关节炎评分(KOOS)、 Tegner评分以及Lysholm评分和初步等速评估方面,两组ACL重建组相似(P = .38)。股四头肌激活显著影响胫骨前移(P = .001,α = 0.98)。在所有三个研究组中,与0%收缩(P = .01)和50%股四头肌激活相比,100%股四头肌激活时胫骨前移显著更高(P = .047)。股四头肌激活0%、50%或100%时,组间胫骨前移无差异(P = .46)。
在股四头肌激活情况下,ACL完整和ACL重建膝关节的前后向松弛度逐渐增加。在股四头肌逐渐收缩时,单束和双束ACL重建膝关节的胫骨前移增加情况相似。在实验环境中比较不同的ACL重建技术时,建议除了静态测试外还进行动态测试,以全面评估膝关节前后向稳定性。
