Review Meta Analysis
Outcome of Patellar Tendon Versus 4-Strand Hamstring Tendon Autografts for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Prospective Randomized Trials.
To compare clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and investigate whether the clinical results of 4-strand hamstring tendon (HT) reconstruction are still inferior to that of the patellar tendon (PT). ⋯ Level I, systemic review and meta-analysis of Level I studies.
-
To determine the inter- and intrarater reliability of the clock-face grading system as used by 3 fellowship-trained sports medicine surgeons. ⋯ Level IV, case series with poor reference standard.
-
To biomechanically compare the stability between open repair and arthroscopic transosseous repair technique for reattachment of the foveal triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC). We also evaluated the feasibility of a new aiming device for the creation of 2 bone tunnels simultaneously during the arthroscopic technique. ⋯ When making decisions about TFCC foveal repair, arthroscopic transosseous suture technique may provide better biomechanical strength than the open repair technique.
-
To investigate differences between sport types for patient-reported outcome after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). ⋯ Level IV, therapeutic case series.
