The Clinical Efficacy and Risk Factors after Revision and Reconstruction of Anterior Cruciate Ligament.

The aim of this study was to study the clinical efficacy and prognostic factors after revision and reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament. All the patients who underwent the first revision of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in the department of sports medicine from January 2001 to December 2015 were collected. The demographic information, the first revision and reconstruction information of ACL, and the information during the first ACL reconstruction were collected. A total of 335 cases were included. Lysholm score, Tegner activity score, and IKDC subjective score at the last follow-up were significantly higher than those before operation. Compared with graft failure caused by sports injury, the postoperative scores of patients with revision due to life accidents or initial reconstruction techniques were significantly lower ( < 0.05). The postoperative Lysholm score of patients with femoral canal drilling through the tibial canal was lower than that of patients with anterior internal approach. The postoperative IKDC score of patients who underwent medial meniscus suture at the same time was higher than that of patients without meniscus combined injury. ACL revision can improve the stability and function of knee joint. Compared with the revision caused by life accident or technical reasons of primary reconstruction surgery, the patients with graft failure caused by sports injury have better postoperative recovery. Medial meniscus suture and anterior internal approach drilling of the femoral bone canal have a statistically protective effect on the clinical function after ACL revision.
