28 Οκτ 2018 · In this article, we describe the surgical techniques for primary ACL repair with dynamic intraligamentary stabilisation (DIS) and internal brace ligament augmentation (IBLA), and provide an overview of the normal and abnormal findings after such repair at MRI follow-up.
Our findings suggest that about one-third of ruptured ACLs may display evidence of healing on MRI when patients are managed with rehabilitation only, and that ACL healing may be associated with favourable outcomes compared with early or delayed ACLR or a non-healed ACL rupture managed non-surgically.
After management of acute ACL rupture with a novel bracing protocol, 90% of patients had evidence of ACL healing on a 3-month MRI (continuity of the ACL). More ACL healing on a 3-month MRI was associated with better knee function and QOL, less passive knee laxity and a higher return-to-sport rate.
ACL continuity on MRI (Anterior Cruciate Ligament OsteoArthritis Score 0-2) was considered evidence of ACL healing. Outcomes included Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), KOOS patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) and treatment failure criteria.
10 Ιαν 2024 · MRI classification, for instance, can predict the success rate of the primary ACL repair technique 2,6; specifically, 90% of type I tears and 88% of type II tears could be repaired, while...
It has been shown that there is an increased risk of a second ACL tear in the first 12 months after original reconstruction, both with graft failure/tear in ipsilateral knee or ACL tear in the contralateral knee. [14 – 17] This is especially apparent in female athletes, who are 16 times more likely than matched controls to sustain a tear, includ...
27 Ιαν 2023 · It is also unclear if a healed ACL, as visualized on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), translates into better outcomes for patients. Research investigating the healing capability of the ruptured ACL will help guide clinical practice and enable informed decision making about treatment of ACL injury.
