Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Allogeneic tendon has been frequently used to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament. However, there is a lack of middle- and long-term clinical evaluation.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the middle- and long-term curative effect of allogeneic tendon reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament under arthroscopy．
METHODS: Twenty-five patients with anterior cruciate ligament injury under allogeneic tendon transplantation were reviewed retrospectively. They were all followed up for 3 years or more. The clinical outcomes were evaluated and compared using Lyshlom score scale, IKDC2000 and Tegner score scale.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: All the patients were followed up. Lysholm scale scores on the knee function, Tegner scores and IKDC scores were significantly increased after transplantation (P < 0.05). No complications of infection and compartment syndrome occurred. Symptoms were relieved and the function of knee joint was improved. There was one case weakly positive for anterior drawer test. Both Lachman test and pivot shift test showed negative signs. Overall, the reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament with allogeneic tendon has less trauma and complications, with good middle-term efficacy．
