A retrospective study of patient outcomes in revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in non-sportspersons

Author(s): Dr. Abhishek Mungarwadi
Abstract: Background and Objective: The aim of the present study is to study the revision rate of primary ACL reconstruction and the functional outcomes following revision ACL reconstruction in the non-sportsperson population.
Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective and prospective observational study done between june 2020 to February 2021, at department of orthopaedics, Belagavi Institute of Medical sciences, Belagavi. 23 patients were included in the study who underwent Revision Anterior cruciate Ligament Reconstruction arthroscopically. All the patients, who were non-athletes were examined clinically and radiologically and treated accordingly.
Results: There was significant difference noted between the IKDC scores of the patients who underwent the revision surgery for either rupture of the graft or for excessive laxity of the graft. (p<0.05)
Interpretation /Conclusion: Accurate tunnel placement is important to have good postoperative outcomes. The revision rates and successful outcomes were independent of the time interval between the start of symptoms and ACL reconstruction.
