Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if there are patient-reported outcome differences in bone-patellar-tendon-bone (BTB), quadriceps tendon (QT), and hamstring (HS) grafts of comparable size.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of global registry data to include all patients that had an ACL reconstruction with BTB, QT, or HS autograft of at least 9mm diameter between 2010 and 2021 with complete 1- and 2-year outcome scores. We compared 1- and 2-year postoperative outcome scores (VAS, KOOS pain, MARS, VR-12) between BTB, QT and HS of the same size graft.
Results: 2318 subjects were included in the analysis and all graft types showed improved PROMs at 1- and 2-years postoperatively when compared to baseline. The KOOS pain score for the BTB group was significantly better than the HS (between-group difference = 2.71, p<0.01) and QT (between-group difference = 2.51, p<0.01) groups at 1-year, and the BTB group was better than HS (between-group difference = 1.88, p<0.01) at 2-years. However, the differences were small and not clinically meaningful. When comparing graft type there were no differences in the percentage of patients who reached MCID, or clinical scores VAS, MARS at 2-years follow-up.
Conclusion: There is no clinically meaningful difference in KOOS-pain, VR-12, VAS, and MARS at 1- and 2-years postoperatively in patients having anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with BTB, HS or QT if graft size is at least 9mm in diameter.
Level of evidence: III (Retrospective Comparative Study).
期刊介绍:
Nowhere is minimally invasive surgery explained better than in Arthroscopy, the leading peer-reviewed journal in the field. Every issue enables you to put into perspective the usefulness of the various emerging arthroscopic techniques. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods -- along with their applications in various situations -- are discussed in relation to their efficiency, efficacy and cost benefit. As a special incentive, paid subscribers also receive access to the journal expanded website.
