Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Artificial ligament has been focused since utilization with the advantages of without sacrificing of autologous tissue, no potentially infectious disease, short recovery time after the ligament reconstruction.
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the contrast experiment of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using ligament advanced renforcement system artificial ligament and autologous hamstring tendon in order to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of the two methods on the recovery of knee function.
METHODS: Primary screening of the literatures was performed by internet and by hand. Control trial studies regarding the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using ligament advanced renforcement system artificial ligament and autologous hamstring tendon were screened out from CBM database, CNKI database, VIP database and PubMed (Medline) database. The results were involved in Meta analysis. Experiment group underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using ligament advanced renforcement system artificial ligament, while control group underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using autologous hamstring tendon.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Five control trial studies were involved. Meta analysis results have showed that 6 months postoperative Lysholm score in experiment group was higher than that in control group, and the difference was significant. There was no significant difference of over 12 months postoperative Lysholm score between the two groups. There was no significant difference of postoperative Tegner measuring between the two groups. Postoperative kt-2000/1000 score had no statistically significant difference between the two groups. Compared with autologous hamstring tendon in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, ligament advanced renforcement system artificial ligament has a higher Lysholm score in short time, and difference of long time Lysholm score, Tegner score and kt-2000/1000 measuring difference is not obvious.
