About this study

Official title: Comparison of Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair With and Without Lateral Extraarticular Tenodesis for Proximal ACL Tears: A Prospective Study

The investigators aimed to compare the clinical results of primary repairs and Lateral Extraarticular Tenodesis applied with primary repairs in the treatment of proximal ACL tears.

Read the detailed description

The investigators aimed to compare the clinical results of primary repairs and Lateral Extraarticular Tenodesis applied with primary repairs in the treatment of proximal ACL tears.The aim of this study was to determine the potential for improvement with the primary repair of acute ACL tears with the proximal tear, which may be an important advance for improvements in proprioception and preservation of natural kinematics.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Primary anterior cruciate ligament repairProcedure or surgery

    Only arthroscopic primary anterior cruciate ligament repair was performed in patients with proximal anterior cruciate ligament tear.

  • Primary anterior cruciate ligament repair and lateral extraarticular tenodesis (LET) with iliotibial bandProcedure or surgery

    In addition to primary anterior cruciate ligament repair, lateral extraarticular tenodesis was performed using the iliotibial band.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Comparison of functional outcomes between two groups of patients who underwent ACL repair surgery with or without lateral extraarticular tenodesis (LET) with International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC).

    The outcomes were evaluated using various measures, including the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC). The IKDC is a patient-completed tool, which contains sections on knee symptoms (7 items), function (2 items), and sports activities (2 items). Scores range from 0 points (lowest level of function or highest level of symptoms) to 100 points (highest level of function and lowest level of symptoms)

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Comparison of functional outcomes between two groups of patients who underwent ACL repair surgery with or without lateral extraarticular tenodesis (LET) with Tegner-Lysholm scoring system.

    The outcomes were evaluated using various measures, including theTegner-Lysholm scoring system. The Tegner Lysholm scale consists of eight items with each question response being assigned an arbitrary score on an increasing scale. The total score is the sum of each response to the eight questions and may range from 0-100 where higher scores indicate a better outcome with fewer symptoms or disability.

    Measured: 24 months

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

(time frame: 24 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05923710, which also lists 9 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
