ABSTRACT
Background:
Recent studies have suggested promising patient-reported outcomes after primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair with additional suture augmentation (SA).Purpose:
To evaluate the risk for revision surgery and identify patient- and injury-related risk factors after ACL repair with SA in a large patient cohort subject to strict patient selection. StudyDesign:
Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3.Methods:
Included were 86 patients (61 female; 93% follow-up rate) who underwent arthroscopic ACL repair with SA between January 2017 and March 2019 by a single surgeon and had a minimum follow-up of 24 months. Patients were selected for surgery with regard to time to surgery (preferably on the day of injury), tear pattern (limited to Sherman types 1 and 2), and tissue quality (intact synovial coverage). Postoperatively, the patients who needed revision surgery were identified and compared with patients who did not undergo revision surgery, using the Mann-Whitney U test for nonparametric analysis and the Student t test for parametric analysis. A Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to investigate the survival rate of the ACL repair.Results:
A total of 9 patients (10%; median age, 48 years; interquartile range [IQR], 27-50 years) underwent revision surgery at 12 months postoperatively (IQR, 8-25 months). The median follow-up of patients without revision surgery was 35 months (IQR, 33-44 months). The revision-free survival rate was 97% (95% CI, 93%-100%) after 1 year, 93% (95% CI, 88%-98%) after 2 years, and 90% (95% CI, 83%-97%) after 4 years. Patient-related factors-such as sex (P = .98), age at surgery (P = .459), body mass index (P = .352), and preinjury level of sports (P = .53)-had no significant impact on the survival rate of the ACL repair. Injury-related factors-such as concomitant injuries of the medial (P = .860) and lateral menisci (P = .414) and the medial (P = .801) and lateral collateral ligaments (P = .534) or same-day surgery compared with a delay of surgery of up to 18 days (P = .277)-had no significant impact on the survival rate of the ACL repair.Conclusion:
The revision rate of primary ACL repair with SA at a 2-year follow-up was 10%. Patient- and injury-related factors were not associated with the survival rate of the ACL repair.
