Overview

Systematic review demonstrates improved functional outcomes and knee stability in remnant-preserving ACLR versus standard ACLR.

Key Points

  • Remnant-preserving ACLR shows significantly better Lysholm scores (WMD = 0.85; P < 0.05) than standard ACLR.
  • Knee stability improved significantly in remnant-preserving ACLR, with WMD values of -0.45 and -0.42 in RCTs and cohort studies, respectively.
  • Meta-analysis included 10 studies, featuring 6 randomized controlled trials and 4 cohort studies, adhering to PRISMA guidelines.
  • No significant differences found in IKDC scores or complication rates, indicating safety in remnant-preserving techniques.
