RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are tools of increasing interest in the sports population. The purpose of this study was to perform the cross-cultural adaptation and reliability analysis of the 4 Domain Sports Patient-Reported Outcome Measure (4 DSP) into Spanish. METHODS: A six-stage cross-cultural adaptation protocol was executed to obtain the Spanish version of the 4 DSP (S-4DSP). Subsequently, the questionnaire was administered to a population of 108 postoperative athletes with ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) injuries. The questionnaire was administered again after 30 days. Acceptability, floor and ceiling effects, internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha), and reproducibility (Intraclass Correlation) were evaluated. RESULTS: The S-4DSP was fully completed by 108 participants (mean age 34±10.75, 26% women), achieving 100% acceptability. No floor effect was detected. The statistical analysis yielded a global Cronbach's alpha for the questionnaire of 0.65, and domain-specific alphas of 0.88, 0.72, 0.27, and 0.68 for the first, second, third, and fourth domains, respectively. The Intraclass Correlation test reached a maximum of 0.94 and a minimum of 0.48 for the first and fifth questions, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The S-4DSP is a reliable and useful tool for evaluating Spanish-speaking athletes after ACL reconstruction.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: The number of participants in sports or some form of recreation globally has led to an increase in the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and the number of surgeries performed. Although it does not belong to risky surgical interventions, this operation is accompanied by complications that slow down post-operative rehabilitation. The objective is to analyze the effects of intra-articular (IA) injection of tranexamic acid (TXA) on the reduction of post-operative drained blood volume, pain intensity, and incidence of hemarthrosis after ACL reconstruction. METHODS: This prospective research included 124 patients undergoing ACL reconstruction surgery, randomly divided into two groups. The TXA group received IA TXA, whereas an equal amount of placebo was administered using the same route in the control group. RESULTS: The research has shown that IA injection of TXA effectively reduces post-operative blood loss (TXA group 71.29 ± 40.76 vs. control group 154.35 ± 81.45), reducing the intensity of post-operative pain (p < 0.001) and the incidence of hemarthrosis. CONCLUSION: The application of TXA significantly reduced post-operative bleeding and pain intensity, which accelerated the post-operative period.
OBJETIVO: El mayor número de participantes en deportes o alguna forma de recreación en todo el mundo ha llevado a un aumento en la incidencia de lesiones del ligamento cruzado anterior (LCA) y de las cirugías realizadas. Aunque no es una intervención quirúrgica de riesgo, esta operación va acompañada de complicaciones que ralentizan la rehabilitación posoperatoria. El objetivo es analizar los efectos de la inyección intraarticular de ácido tranexámico (TXA) sobre la reducción del volumen sanguíneo drenado posoperatorio, la intensidad del dolor y la incidencia de hemartrosis tras la reconstrucción del LCA. MÉTODO: Esta investigación prospectiva incluyó 124 pacientes sometidos a cirugía de reconstrucción del LCA, divididos aleatoriamente en dos grupos: uno recibió TXA intraarticular y otro (grupo de control) una cantidad igual de placebo por la misma vía. RESULTADOS: La investigación ha demostrado que la inyección intraarticular de TXA reduce efectivamente la pérdida de sangre posoperatoria (grupo TXA 71.29 ± 40.76 vs. grupo control 154.35 ± 81.45), reduciendo la intensidad del dolor posoperatorio (p < 0.001) y la incidencia de hemartrosis. CONCLUSIONES: La aplicación de TXA redujo significativamente el sangrado posoperatorio y la intensidad del dolor, lo que aceleró el posoperatorio.

RESUMO
Abstract Objective To evaluate if there is a significant difference in the outcomes of isolated anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in patients with or without associated anterolateral ligament (ALL) injury. Methods We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study through the analysis of medical records and the application of the questionnaires of the Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale and the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Subjective Knee Form to patients undergoing isolated ACL reconstruction. Results The 52 participants included were divided into two groups: 19 with associated ALL injury and 33 with no associated ALL injury. None of the patients with associated ALL injury suffered an ACL rerupture, and 21.1% presented injuries to other knee structures after surgery. Among the patients with no associated injury, 6.1% suffered ACL rerupture, and 18.2% presented injuries to other structures after surgery (p = 0.544). Return to activities at the same level as that of the preoperative period occurred in 60% of the patients with associated ALL injury and in 72% of those with no associated injury (p = 0.309). The mean score on the Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale was of 81.6 points in patients with associated ALL injury, and of 90.1 in those with no associated injury (p = 0.032). The mean score on the IKDC Subjective Knee Form was of 70.3 points in patients with associated ALL injury and of 76.7 in those with no associated injury (p = 0.112). Conclusion There was no statistically significant difference regarding graft injuries or new injuries to other structures, satisfaction with the operated knee, or the score on the IKDC Subjective Knee Form. Return to activity was similar in the groups with and without associated ALL injuries. The scores on the Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale were better, with a statistically significant difference in the group with no associated ALL injuries.

RESUMO
Abstract Objective To compare the functional outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with hamstring autograft (HA) through the all-inside (AI) technique with adjustable-loop cortical Endobutton (Smith & Nephew, Watford, Hertfordshire, England) on the sides of the femur and tibia and through the outside-in (OI) technique using an interference screw on the tibial side and a cortical Endobutton on the femoral side. Materials and Methods The present is a double-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT) of 44 patients undergoing arthroscopic ACL reconstruction from February 2019 to February 2022 in a tertiary care hospital. As per computer-based randomization, the patients were distributed into two groups: the AI and OI groups. Both groups were evaluated for 12 months using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale, and part I (pain score) and part II (function score) of the Knee Society Score (KSS). Results On postoperative day 2,the VAS score was significantly higher in the OI group (p = 0.0001), but insignificant (p = 0.807) at 6 weeks. At 3, 6, and 12 months of follow-up, the score on the Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale was significantly higher (p = 0.001) in the AI group. At 6 months, both parts of the KSS showed a significant difference, with the AI group presenting a better outcome (p = 0.04). However, at 12 months, the AI group presented a better score on part I of the KSS, but no differences were observed regarding part II. Conclusion In a follow-up of 12 months, the patients submitted to the AI technique presented better outcome scores and pain relief than those submitted to the OI technique.
Resumo Objetivo Comparar os resultados funcionais da reconstrução do ligamento cruzado anterior (LCA) com autoenxerto de isquiotibiais pela técnica all-inside (AI) com Endobutton (Smith & Nephew, Watford, Hertfordshire, Inglaterra) cortical de alça ajustável nos lados do fêmur e da tíbia e pela técnica outside-in (OI) com parafuso de interferência no lado tibial e Endobutton cortical no lado femoral. Métodos Trata-se de um ensaio clínico controlado, randomizado e duplo-cego com 44 pacientes submetidos à reconstrução artroscópica do LCA de fevereiro de 2019 a fevereiro de 2022 em um hospital de cuidados terciários. De acordo com a randomização por computador, os pacientes foram distribuídos em dois grupos: AI e OI. Ambos os grupos foram avaliados durante 12 meses pela Escala Visual Analógica (EVA), a Escala de Pontuação do Joelho de Lysholm e pela parte I (pontuação de dor) e a parte II (pontuação de função) da escala Knee Society Score (KSS). Resultados No segundo dia de pós-operatório, a pontuação média na EVA foi significativamente maior no grupo OI (p = 0,0001), mas insignificante (p 0,807) às 6 semanas. Aos 3, 6 e 12 meses de acompanhamento, a pontuação na Escala de Lysholm (p = 0,001) foi significativamente maior no grupo AI. Aos 6 meses, ambas as partes da KSS apresentam uma diferença significativa, com o grupo AI apresentando um desfecho melhor (p = 0,04). No entanto, aos 12 meses, o grupo AI apresentou uma pontuação melhor na parte I da KSS, mas não foram observadas diferenças na parte II. Conclusão Em um acompanhamento de 12 meses, os pacientes submetidos à técnica AI apresentaram melhores pontuações de desfecho e alívio da dor do que aqueles submetidos à técnica OI.
RESUMO
Abstract Objective This study aimed to compare gracilis and semitendinosus tendon graft diameters in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using quadruple, quintuple, and sextuple assemblies. Another objective was to evaluate the percentage of patients in which each assembly type is possible, depending on the length of each free tendon. Methods Seventy-one patients underwent ACL reconstruction using hamstring tendons. We measured the diameters of the quadruple, quintuple, and sextuple assemblies in all patients. We recorded tendon length and graft diameter from three assembly types. Results Assembly comparison showed a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001). In each assembly, graft diameter increased by 1 mm, a statistically significant value (p < 0.001). In 2.8% of patients, the only potential assembly was the quadruple assembly because the free lengths of the 2 tendons removed were lower than 24 cm. The quintuple assembly was possible in 23.9% of subjects, as only the semitendinosus had a minimum length of 24 cm. The sextuple assembly was possible in 73.2% of patients because both tendons were at least 24 cm in length. Conclusion A quintuple or sextuple assembly is possible in 97.2% of cases since the final graft length of at least 8 cm is statistically significant between comparisons.
Resumo Objetivo Buscamos comparar o diâmetro dos enxertos com utilização dos tendões grácil e semitendíneo na reconstrução do ligamento cruzado anterior (LCA) utilizando as montagens quádrupla, quíntupla e sêxtupla. Outro objetivo é avaliar em qual porcentagem de pacientes é possível cada tipo de montagem, em função do comprimento de cada tendão livre. Métodos Setenta e um pacientes foram submetidos à reconstrução do LCA utilizando tendões isquitibiais. Foram medidos os diâmetros das montagens quádrupla, quíntupla e sêxtupla em todos pacientes. Registramos os comprimento dos tendões e o diâmetro do enxerto com os três tipos de montagens. Resultados As comparações entre as montagens mostraram diferença estatisticamente significativa (p < 0,001). A cada montagem, aumentou 1 mm o diâmetro do enxerto e isso foi estatisticamente significativo (p < 0,001). Em 2,8% dos pacientes, somente a montagem quádrupla foi possível, pois os comprimentos livres dos 2 tendões retirados foram menores que 24 cm. Em 23,9% desses, foi possível a montagem quíntupla; pois somente o semitendíneo tinha comprimento mínimo de 24 cm e, em 73,2%, foi possível a montagem sêxtupla com o comprimento dos 2 tendões igual ou superior a 24 cm. Conclusão Em 97,2% dos casos foi possível realizar a montagem quíntupla ou sêxtupla, já que o comprimento final do enxerto de no mínimo 8 cm apresenta diferença estatisticamente significante entre as comparações.

RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most frequently injured ligament of the knee. However, quantitative studies on evaluate the postural control influence resulted from the ACL remnant preservation or not are scarce. The aim of this study is to evaluate the postural control of patients submitted to ACL reconstruction with and without preservation of the injured remnant in pre and postoperative periods. METHODS: Eighteen patients underwent ACL reconstruction and separated into 2 groups according to the preservation or not of the remnant: (I) submitted to ACL reconstruction with preservation of the remnant (10 patients); (II) submitted to ACL reconstruction without preservation of the remnant (8 patients). They were assessed using the Lysholm score and force plate, which evaluated the patient's postural stability for remnant and non-remnant preservation in ACL reconstruction surgery. RESULTS: Group I showed statistically significant subjective and objective improvements, both at 3 and 6 months. Additionally, improvement of the Lysholm test at 6 months in Group II was also statistically significant. Furthermore, the results of the Friedman test for the VCOP and VY variables of Group I, with support of the injured side in the force plate, showed a statistically significant difference both for pre and postoperative period at 3 months, compared to the 6-month postoperative period. The variables EAC and VX were statistically different for Group II, considering the preoperative period, 3 and 6 months postoperatively. CONCLUSION: Preserving the ACL remnant in patients with ACL injuries has a positive impact on postural stability during recovery.

Introduction: The anterolateral ligament in the knee has a fundamental role in the rotational stability of the joint. Its non-inclusion for the surgical repair of anterior cruciate ligament is a possible cause of postsurgical rotational instability in these patients. This ligament holds global scientific relevance in terms of its morphology and biomechanics. It is encouraged as a subject of research in order to understand and underscore its stabilizing role in locomotion activities. Objectives: To determine the frequency and anatomical variability of the anterolateral ligament in cadaveric knees. Methods: Nineteen knees from embalmed cadavers were included in the study. The anterolateral ligament was identified using the dissection technique and morphometric measurements and their anatomical characteristics were taken. Results: After a plane dissection, the ligament was visualized in 68.4 % of the samples, with a mean length of 20.5 mm. and a thickness of 0.43 mm. Its insertion at the level of the femoral condyle registered a greater amplitude than that of the distal, which was found close to the head of the fibula. Conclusions: The anterolateral ligament was found as an independent structure, and their fibers presented an anteroinferior orientation from the lateral epicondyle of the femur, closely related to the articular capsule.
Introducción: El ligamento anterolateral de la rodilla tiene un papel fundamental en la estabilidad rotacional de la articulación. Su no inclusión en la reparación quirúrgica del ligamento cruzado anterior es una posible causa de inestabilidad rotacional posquirúrgica en estos pacientes. Este ligamento tiene relevancia científica mundial por su morfología y biomecánica. Se fomenta como objeto de investigación para comprender y subrayar su papel estabilizador en las actividades de locomoción. Objetivos: Determinar la frecuencia y variabilidad anatómica del ligamento anterolateral en rodillas cadavéricas. Métodos: Se incluyeron en el estudio 19 rodillas de cadáveres embalsamados. Se identificó el ligamento anterolateral mediante la técnica de disección y se tomaron medidas morfométricas y sus características anatómicas. Resultados: Tras una disección plana, el ligamento se visualizó en el 68,4 % de las muestras, con una longitud media de 20,5 mm y un grosor de 0,43 mm. Su inserción a nivel del cóndilo femoral registró una amplitud mayor que la distal, que se encontró próxima a la cabeza del peroné. Conclusiones: El ligamento anterolateral se encontró como una estructura independiente, y sus fibras presentaron una orientación anteroinferior desde el epicóndilo lateral del fémur, en estrecha relación con la cápsula articular.
RESUMO
Abstract Objective The aim of this study is to analyse the needs for pre-operative rehabilitation in patients undergoing ACL reconstruction. Methods The database reports were searched within 2018 to 2023, using PubMed, Cochrane library database, Medline, and other published trials. A statistical analysis was made from Review Manager. Results Pre-operative rehabilitation group shows significantly higher 2 years post-operative KOOS score in all subscore and the total mean of the score, pain (p < 0. 0001), symptoms (p < 0. 0001), ADL (p < 0. 0001), sports and recreations (p < 0. 0001), QoL (p < 0. 0001), and the total mean of the KOOS score (p < 0.0001). In contrary, pre-operative rehabilitation group shows insignificantly higher score on 3 months post-operative Lysholm score (p = 0.12). Conclusion This meta-analysis conclude pre-operative rehabilitation may provide better long-term post-operative outcome, however it may not provide much of a short-term outcome. It is recommended to add pre-operative rehabilitation as a guideline for ACL injury management to improve long-term outcome of patients with ACL injury undergoing ACL reconstruction procedure.

Métodos Os relatórios das bases de dados foram pesquisados entre 2018 e 2023, utilizando PubMed, base de dados da biblioteca Cochrane, Medline e outros artigos publicados. Uma análise estatística foi feita utilizando-se o Review Manager. Resultados O grupo de pré-habilitação cirúrgica apresenta pontuação KOOS pós-operatória de 2 anos significativamente maior em todos os subescores e na média total da pontuação, dor (p < 0,0001), sintomas (p < 0,0001), AVD (p < 0,0001). 0,0001), esportes e recreação (p < 0,0001), QV (p < 0,0001) e média total do escore KOOS (p < 0,0001). Em contrapartida, o grupo de habilitação pré-operatória apresenta pontuação insignificantemente maior no escore de Lysholm pós-operatório de 3 meses (p = 0,12). Conclusão Esta metanálise conclui que a pré-habilitação cirúrgica pode proporcionar melhores resultados pós-operatórios a longo prazo, no entanto, pode não proporcionar um resultado significativo a curto prazo. Recomenda-se adicionar a pré-habilitação cirúrgica como uma diretriz para o manejo da lesão do LCA para melhorar o resultado a longo prazo dos pacientes com lesão do LCA submetidos ao procedimento de reconstrução do LCA.
