ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To compare the clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction between methods using quadriceps tendon with bone (QTB) and hamstring tendon (HT) in patients with hyperextension of the knee.METHODS:
The medical records of patients with knee hyperextension greater than 8° who underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction between October 2010 and October 2020 with follow-up for at least 2 years (median, 3 years; interquartile range [IQR], 2.0-4.6 years) were retrospectively reviewed. Side-to-side difference in anterior translation, pivot-shift test grade, Lysholm score, and graft intensity using the Howell grade on magnetic resonance imaging at final follow-up were compared between the QTB and HT groups.RESULTS:
The HT and QTB groups consisted of 42 patients and 21 patients, respectively. The overall mean age was 21.5 years (range, 14-48 years), and the median Tegner Activity Scale score was 6 (range, 3-9). Postoperatively, the median side-to-side difference in anterior translation was 1.75 mm (IQR, 1-3 mm) in the HT group and 1.0 mm (IQR, 0-1.75 mm) in the QTB group (P = .01). Pivot-shift testing showed grade 0 in 74.7%, grade 1 in 18.7%, and grade 2 in 6.6% of patients in the HT group and grade 0 in 85.7% and grade 1 in 14.3% of those in the QTB group (P = .03). The median postoperative Lysholm score was 99 in both groups. Graft signal intensity showed a significant between-group difference grade I in 52%, grade II in 36%, and grade III in 12% of patients in the HT group versus grade I in 85.7%, grade II in 9.5%, and grade III in 4.8% of those in the QTB group (P = .03).CONCLUSIONS:
In patients who underwent ACL reconstruction for hyperextension of the knee, QTB yielded better clinical outcomes than HT with respect to anterior stability, rotational stability, and graft signal intensity on median 2-year follow-up magnetic resonance imaging. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective case-control study.
