Single-Bundle versus Double-Bundle Technique of the Anatomical Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Zeman, Petr ; Koudela, Karel (advisor) ; Skála-Rosenbaum, Jiří (referee) ; Kalina, Radim (referee)
Purpose of the study: The aim of the study is to present a comparison of two years result of double-bundle versus single-bundle anatomical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament using hamstring tendons and their fixation with bioabsorbable interference screws. Material and methods: A total of 110 patients with an isolated anterior cruciate ligament rupture and the healthy contralateral knee who met the indication criteria for double- bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction were intra-operatively allocated at random to either double-bundle group (DB, n=55) or single-bundle group (SB, n=55). At two years after surgery, 82 patients (DB group, n=43; SB group, n=39), comprising 66 men and 16 women, were evaluated; the average age was 29 years and the injury-to- surgery interval was 81 days. Pre-operative and post-operative subjective criteria involved the subjective IKDC and Lysholm score were evaluated. Objectively, the occurrence of graft failure, range of motion deficit, return to pre-injury sports activity, side-to-side difference in anterior laxity of both knees in 20ř flexion on a GNRB laximeter at an applied pressure of 124 N and 250 N, and pivot shift phenomenon were assessed. Results: No statistically significant difference was found in pre-operative values between the two...
