Autologous hamstring Rigidfix and Intrafix fixation for reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament

doi:10.3969/j.issn.2095-4344.2013.44.018

Abstract

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Autologous hamstring Rigidfix and Intrafix has been frequently used to fix and reconstruct anterior cruciate ligament. However, it lacks of evaluation of middle and long period of clinical outcomes.
OBJECTIVE: To retrospectively evaluate the medium term clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft by Rigidfix and Intrafix.
METHODS: The 39 cases of anterior cruciate ligament injury were subjected to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft by Rigidfix and Intrafix under arthroscope. They were followed up for 2 years or more. The clinical outcomes were evaluated using Lyshlom score scale, IKDC2000 and Tegner score scale.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In the follow-up, IKDC2000 score and Lyshlom score were significantly increased following Rigidfix and Intrafix fixation than before treatment (P < 0.01). Results indicate satisfactory clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft by Rigidfix and Intrafix. However, long-term follow up is needed to verify the feasibility of extensive application.

Key words: anterior cruciate ligament, tendons, internal fixators, ligaments
