Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Early diagnosis and accurate treatment of ligament injuries are the premise of avoiding chronic instability of knee joint and promoting functional recovery of knee joint.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical efficacy of limited incision with autologous tendon graft for knee ligament injury.
METHODS: Eighty patients with knee ligament damage were randomly divided into two groups. The cases of control group were given orthosis treatment, and the cases of observation group were treated with the limited incision plus autologous tendon graft.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At 6 months post-treatment, the excellent efficacy rate and postoperative quality of life score were increased in the observation group, compared with the control group (P < 0.05). The active and passive ranges of motion of knee joint in the observation group were significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). At 3 months post-treatment, Lysholmp scores of the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Limited incision plus autologous tendon graft treatment can significantly improve knee function after knee ligament injury.
