Comparison of clinical results of anteromedial and transtibial femoral tunnel drilling in ACL reconstruction

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders Jun 06, 2020

Metso L, Nyrhinen KM, Bister V, et al. - This study was undertaken to evaluate whether there was better rotational stability and therefore better clinical outcomes when applying anteromedial drilling compared to transtibial (TT) drilling. Researchers selected 300 patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries for this study from previously collected data on ACL reconstructions. Individuals were classified into two groups: 150 patients treated with AM drilling and 150 treated with TT drilling. The assessment procedures were clinical examination, knee scores (Lysholm, Tegner and IKDC) and instrumented laxity measurements. Patient performance and satisfaction were noted by both drilling techniques. This study's observed no data supporting the hypothesis that the AM drilling procedure serves better rotational stability to the knee.
