Management of the failed first revision ACL reconstruction: Clinical outcomes of non-surgical management versus second revision ACL reconstruction - 21/11/22
Gestion de l’échec de la première révision de la reconstruction du LCA : résultats cliniques de la gestion non chirurgicale par rapport à la deuxième révision de la reconstruction du LCA
Résumé |
Introduction |
The optimum management strategy following failure of revision ACL reconstruction (RACLR) is not clearly defined. The literature evaluating differences in outcomes between surgical and non-surgical management is sparse. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of surgical versus non-surgical management of failed first revision ACL reconstruction.
Material and method |
Patients who experienced failure of 1st RACLR were evaluated. All participants followed the same rehabilitation protocol regardless of whether they underwent non-surgical treatment or a 2nd RACLR. Follow-up comprised regular clinical review and a standardized telephone interview at the end of the study period. Patient recorded outcome measures were reported at final follow up.
Results |
Forty-one patients with a mean follow up of 104±52.7 months (40–140) were evaluated. Thirty-one underwent 2nd RACLR and 10 chose non-surgical treatment. There was a high rate of return to sport in both groups but patients undergoing 2nd RACLR had significantly better Tegner (6.35 vs. 4.8, p=0.012), Lysholm (88.5 vs. 78.3, p=0.0353), KOOS QoL (72.6 vs. 56.3, p=0.0490) and KOOS function in sports and recreation (81.4 vs. 62.5, p=0.0033). Significantly more patients undergoing 2nd RACLR achieved PASS for KOOS function in sports and recreation than those who underwent non-surgical management (74.2% vs. 30%, p=0.015). The most important predictor of failure to achieve a good/excellent Lysholm score in multivariate analysis was non-surgical management (p=0.0095).
Conclusions |
2nd RACLR and non-surgical management of failed 1st RACLR are associated with high rates of return to sport. However, 2nd RACLR is associated with better functional outcome scores. Non-surgical treatment was the only predictor of failure to achieve a good/excellent Lysholm score at final follow-up.
