Time from injury to surgery affects graft maturation following posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with remnant preservation: A magnetic resonance imaging–based study
Arthroscopy Sep 11, 2018
Liu S, et al. - Researchers analyzed consecutive patients who underwent unilateral single-bundle posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (PCLR) with remnant preservation from January 2011 to October 2014 by the same senior doctor using tibialis anterior allografts and same surgical technique to assess the clinical outcomes and graft maturation following the procedure. In addition, they sought for the correlated factors affecting graft maturation. As per outcomes, the procedure resulted in satisfactory clinical outcomes and graft maturation at a mean follow-up of 38.4 months. They noted a weak positive correlation between the time from injury to surgery and postoperative graft signal intensity on MRI.
