Clinical outcomes of single anteromedial bundle biologic augmentation (SAMBBA) technique for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with consideration of tibial remnant size
Arthroscopy Dec 07, 2017
Ouanezar H, et al. - In a consecutive series of 128 patients who underwent anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using the single anteromedial bundle biological augmentation (SAMBBA) technique and followed for a minimum duration of 24 months, the functional outcomes, knee stability, complications, and reoperations were assessed. Also, larger preserved ACL remnants were compared with smaller preserved remnants. This technique not only afforded significant improvements in the clinical and functional outcomes between baseline and follow-up at a minimum of 24 months but also was associated with a low rate of complications. Additionally, no significant differences between large and moderate size ACL remnants were detected for all outcome measures.
