AN EVALUATION OF THE CLINIC RADIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF SINGLE-VERSUS DOUBLE-BUNDLE ARTHROSCOPIC ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT RECONSTRUCTION.

Abstract

Introduction: The most common reconstructive procedure for the knee is anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. This research aimed to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of arthroscopic ACL replacements using single- and double-bundles. Method: 80 patients with isolated ACL injuries had surgery between July 2020 and July 2021, with groups for the single bundle (SB) and double-bundle (DB) reconstructions each consisting of 40 individuals. The GNRB arthrometer, the International Knee Documentation Committee, and the Lysholm scale were used to evaluate the results. The lateral pivot-shift test was used to evaluate rotational stability. To compare the repaired ACL graft orientation, postoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was done. Using a paired t-test, preoperative values, and values were compared and P 0.04, NS). Conclusion: At an average of 15 months of follow-up, there was no statistically significant difference between the single-bundle and double-bundle ACL repair groups in terms of knee stability, knee ratings, subjective assessments, or MRI examination of graft inclination angles.
