Overview

Observational study evaluates clinical and functional results of a modified ACL technique in patients with instability, highlighting its potential benefits.

Key Points

  • To assess early clinical and functional outcomes of a modified single tunnel ACL reconstruction technique combined with lateral tenodesis.
  • Included 50 patients undergoing the new technique from January 2022 to May 2024.
  • Evaluated functional outcomes using IKDC, Lysholm, and Tegner scores.
  • Conducted assessments of clinical stability, range of motion, and complications over a minimum 12-month follow-up.
  • Mean IKDC score was 67.9 ± 14.1, and mean Lysholm score was 86.4 ± 11.6 at follow-up.
  • All patients had negative Lachman and pivot shift tests at final evaluation.
  • Median post-operative knee ROM was 135° (interquartile range: 120–135°) with no graft ruptures or revision surgeries.
