Purpose: Recent development and advances in the arthroscopic surgical techniques for anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) reconstruction have led to the ideal location for more oblique anatomic point of the femur from 10 to 10:30 o'clock(in the right knee) and from 2 to 1:30 o'clock(in the left knee) in the frontal plane. This study was performed to compare the operative methods and the radiologic results of the femoral tunnels made through the tibial tunnel(trans-tibial approach) and the anteromedial portal. Materials and Methods: From January 2003 to May 2004, on hundred reconstructions of ACL were performed. Group I(the femoral tunnel made through the tibial tunnel) consisted of 50 cases and group I(the femoral tunnel made through the anteromedial portal) consisted of 50 cases. The operative methods and the radiographic results of the femoral tunnels were compared. Results: Femoral tunnel was made more easily at more oblique anatomic point in group II than in group I. In group II, better visual field was achieved at the angle of 100? flexion of the knee joint, the risks of the posterior cortical breakage and the tunnel-graft mismatching were reduced more, and the divergence of femoral interference screw from the radiograph decreased more than in group I(p<0.05). The angle between the femoral tunnel and the longitudinal axis of ACL increased in group II. Conclusion: Anteromedial portal technique was useful for femoral tunneling toward 10 to 10:30 o'clock(in the right knee) and 2 to 1:30 o'clock(in the left knee) in ACL reconstruction. Level of Evidence:Level III, case-control study.

This is the study of the knee joint injured patients at the orthopaedic surgery clinic where is located in Daejon, who has MCL combine injured ACL reconstruction caused by sport activity and accident during the period from Jan. 2001 to Oct. 2001. By comparing with groups between 7th case of I-group for MCL combined stitch and II-group for ACL reconstruction since 6weeks cast. We have been concluded with that following results. 1. Range of motion for the knee was not limited at 5th case(37%) of I-group, 6th case(42%) of II-group and the cases of Flexion deficit less then 10 -degree were 2nd case(13%) of I-group and II-group 1st case(8%) with no extension deficit more then 5 -degree. 2. The level of activity that tells you whether you are capable of exercise for six month after operation. It han been divided by 3 levels. The case of capable of doing low risk exercise(swimming, cycling, etc.) was 5th case of I-group, the case of capable of doing medium risk exercise(jogging, etc.) was 3rd case of I-group and 4th case of II-group and the case of capable of doing high risk exercise(football, etc.) were 3rd case of I-group and 3rd case of II-group. 3. The timing of the return to their job were average 6.4 weeks for I-group and average 22.9 weeks for II-group(P<.05, statistical difference). 4. There was no statistical difference between I-group and II-group for the timing of the return to their job(P>.05). 5. By using VAS to compare them there was no statistical difference between I-group and II-group of clinical results according to Lysholm scale.

Purpose : This study is to investigate difference in the isometric muscular function of knee joints according to the time of participation in rehabilitation exercise in patients who had anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Methods : The subjects of this study were patients by sports injury or accident in the sports rehabilitation center of G hospital. The early exercise program group (n=7) started functional ability exercise from 2 weeks after the surgery and the late exercise program group (n=7) from 6 weeks after the surgery. Statistical analysis was used repeated measure ANOVA to test mean difference by using SPSS 18.0 for windows. Results : First, as to quadriceps femoris muscle according to the time of participation in exercise program, significant difference was observed according to interaction and time. Second, as to hamstring muscle according to the time of participation in exercise program, significant difference was observed in muscle strength according to time. Conclusion : This results suggest that if the effect of exercise program is similar between the early starting group and the late starting group, it is not necessary to have a long period of fixation as in the late exercise program group but is desirable to start functional ability exercise early in order to relieve pains in the knee joints.

Between March 1992 and December 1995 at St. Paul's, Holy Family, St. Vincent and Eui Jung Bu St. Mary Hospitals Catholic University, two hundred and eighty patients underwent arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) reconstruction using central one-third bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft. Nine of these patients had limitation of motion(LOM) defined as a knee flexion contracture greater than 10o or less than 125o of passive knee flexion. This study analyzes the causes of LOM after ACL reconstruction as well as the results after passive manipulation or arthroscopic adhesiolysis under anesthesia for LOM. The results are as follows: 1. Out of nine patients, initially three had isolated ACL injuries and six had combined injuries. Seven of nine cases were perfomed by ACL reconstruction within four weeks and two were performed after four weeks following injury. 2. Treatment for LOM after ACL reconstruction was done after 5.5 months on average. 3. Arthroscopic adhesiolysis was done in 5 cases. There were fibrous adhesions at suprapatellar pouch and femoral intercondylar notch in all cases, respectively, infrapatellar fat pad in 3 cases and medial para patellar gutter in 2 cases. Two patients had a fibrous nodule, "cyclops" lesion, which formed anterior to the ACL graft. 4. Range of motion and Lysholm knee score were much improved following passive manipulation or arthroscopic adhesiolysis under anesthesia for LOM.

The arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using the bone-patellar tendon-bone has been considered as the gold standard in the treatment of the ACL insufficiency. There are many reports about the good functional outcome and the restored stability of the knee joint. But there are a few reports showing whether this surgery has good results in the patients' satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the patients' satisfaction in this surgery. Authors analysed 32 cases who had taken the ACL reconstruction from Jannuary, 1989 to June, 1997. The average follow-up was 40 months. At the last follow-up, 32 patients reported the patients' satisfaction degrees(four degrees; very satisfied, generally satisfied, improved, no change or aggravated), KT-1000 arthrometer test, Vastus atrophy(thigh circumference), and three kinds of the knee scores(Lysholm, HSS, IKDC). Among the 32 cases, 12 cases (37.5%) were very satisfied, 17 cases(53.1%) were generally satisfied and 3 cases(9.4%) were improved. No case showed no change or aggravated. The satisfaction degree in this surgery had little relation with the age, operation time, follow-up period, combination of meniscectomy, but had significant relations with anteroposterior stability evaluated by KT-1000, thigh circumference measurements and the functional scoring of the knee(Lysholm, HSS, IKDC scores).

From Feb. 1996 to Feb. 1997. among sixty-four patients of anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) reconstruction using multi-stranded hamstring tendon and EndoButton fixation, twenty-five patients of volunteer, 15 men and 10 women, from 16 to 50 years of age(mean 27.6 years) underwent arthroscopic evaluation. Arthroscopic evaluation was routinely performed one year after surgery along with an examination of stability. The purpose of this study was to arthroscopically evaluate the morphological changes that occurred in hamstring tendon autograft one year after ACL reconstruction. Both of the tendon graft and the adjacent fibrous tissues were observed for gross appearance and physical properties with probing and response to passive anterior translation. Biopsy samples were taken from the surrounding fibrous tissue and the tendon graft. Grossly, we found a well-defined ligamentous structure with good tension tested with a probe. A common finding was that the reconstructed ligaments were embedded in a layer of the synovium, and blood vessels could be seen on the anterior surface of the ligament. The biopsy tissue was placed in formalin solution and subjected to histological preparation by hematoxylin and eosin staining method. The hamstring tendon graft appeared histologically normal under light microscopic finding. There were a few vessels located between existing collagen bundles, and the vessels had an orderly pattern. The surrounding fibrous tissue envelope was covered with synovium. We pleased with preliminary findings in our evaluation.

We retrospectively evaluated the changes in the diameter of the tibial tunnel over time following the reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament with a bone-patella tendon-bone(BPTB) autograft(25 cases) and quadruple semitendinosus(ST) graft(27 cases) in 52 patients at one year postoperatively. The changes in the geometry of the bony tunnel were measured with radiography. The demensions at final follow up were correated with the clinical results. An increased width of the tibial tunnel was noted in all cases. On the femoral side, however, no tunnel expansion was noted. In AP view, the average tibial tunnel enlargement in ST and BPTB graft groups were 1.30mm(13%) and 1.82mm(17%), respectively. In lateral view, the average tibial tunnel enlargement in ST and BPTB graft group was 1.30mm(13%) and 2.04mm(19%). The differences between two groups were not statistically significant, however, there was evidence of a borderline significance(P=0.0502). Although the tunnel enlargement does not appear to adversely affect the clinical outcome in the short term, the exact mechanism which are involved should be demonstrated. Furthermore histologic study is needed to evaluate graft replacements with emphasis on the graft-tunnel interface.
