Optimal treatment of the torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) remains controversial. The complexity of surgically reproducing the natural biomechanical and anatomical function of the ACL has led to a diversity of reconstructive procedures. Controversy continues to exist regarding the best reconstructive procedure for the ACL deficient knee, but currently, there is no ideal method. Because of the increased frequency of ACL injury and the functional impairment resulting from that, the role of mechanoreceptors in the ACL recently has attracted considerable attention. Proper reconstruction of the ruptured ACL does not always have good results. Success after operation may depend not only on the mechanical stability but also on the quality of recovery of proprioception. It is well known that most ACL are ruptured in proximal half and most mechanoreceptors have been reported to be located in the subsynovial layer and near the tibial insertion of the ACL. Expected roles of tibial remnant is to enhance the revascularization and cellular proliferation of the graft, to preserve proprioceptive function, and to be able to acquire anatomical placement of the graft without roof impingement. The remnant of the ruptured ACL has been removed to clearly visualize the ACL footprint or decrease the risk of impingement and Cyclops lesion in most current techniques for ACL reconstruction. Therefore it seems reasonable to assume that preserving the tibial remnant as much as possible as a source of reinnervation, if technically possible without causing impingement, would be of potential benefit to the patient. In addition, it will facilitate the vascular ingrowth and ligamentization of the grafted ACL.

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.

전방십자인대 재건술은 슬관절 수술 중에서 흔하게 시행되는 수술 중 한가지이나 해부학 및 생역학에 대한 이해가 증가하여 수술 기법의 다양한 변화가 있었음에도 수술 실패는 7%-16% 정도로 보고되고 있어 회전 불안정성에 대한 관심은 지속적으로 강조되고 있다. 최근 들어 전외측인대가 회전 불안정성에 대한 2차적인 지지 구조물로 많은 관심을 받고 연구되고 있다. 하지만 아직까지 전외측인대의 해부학적 형태, 생역학 및 임상 결과에 있어서 논란이 있다. 전외측인대는 대퇴골 외상과 부위에서 경골 근위부의 Gerdy's 결절과 비골 골두 사이에서 슬관절 전외측으로 주행하는 구조물로 알려져 있으며 생역학적 연구에서 경골의 내회전에 따라 전외측인대의 긴장도가 증가하는 슬관절 회전안정성에 기여를 하는 구조물로 알려져 있다. 전외측인대 손상의 진단은 신체검사, 방사선적 검사, 자기공명영상 등의 다양한 검사를 이용하여 종합적으로 판단하며 그중 주로 pivot-shift 검사와 자기공명영상의 결과를 종합하여 진단하게 된다. 최근에는 장경인대의 Kaplan 섬유 등과 같이 전외측인대 복합체로 판단하기도 하며 그 구조물들의 손상여부를 각각 고려하기도 한다. 치료에 있어서 다양한 수술법이 소개되어 사용되고 있고, 연구마다 다른 수술의 적응증을 제시하고 있는 실정으로 최근의 임상적 연구에서 회전 불안정성에 있어 긍정적인 효과를 보고하였지만 앞으로 더 많은 연구가 진행되어야 전외측인대를 강화하는 외측 강화 술식의 유용성에 대한 정확한 평가가 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

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.

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).

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.

Purpose : Today, it enjoys a sports and a leisure where the anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) injury patient increase. The knee joint is important means of human body movement and to do an important duty when it encounters ACL injuries of the knee joint and the many restriction follows in the life which is ordinary. When it is damaged ACL, it comes to determinate that ACL reconstruction and preservation treatment that the according to condition of ligament and knee joint. After ACL reconstruction, that is the fact which already becomes known the exercise treatment advances a recovery and to reduce a sequela. Methods : we researched the method of exercise treatment after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction operation by journal of science direct and KISS in daecu university. Results : The representative exercise treatment is isometric exercise, isokinetic exercise isotonic exercise and complex exercise but what kind of exercise treatment most is effective, it revealed and support it was not. The method of exercise treatment is very various, so It causes a confusion made to the therapist and patients. So it executes once again it sought the kinetic therapeutic method which is efficient from this research and it tried to observe preceding research after ACL reconstruction. To operation a various the exercise treatments, operation only the treatment which is general compared to it was effective in muscular power and muscle functional improvement. But this like improve despite with the exercise treatment consequence which is continuous from research of most the pain leg compares to the health leg, it appeared the discrepancy which is a muscular power, a muscular endurance and a hypertrophy muscle etc, to the health leg or before operating 100% of muscular power to having gets the many therapy time was the recovery rate. Conclusion : Therefore after ACL reconstruction, it will become the many research continuously which is improve the muscle functional and ROM of the exercise treatment method and From therapeutic site of the patients it does to memorizes knowledge in advance about ACL injuries and the application the isokinetic treatment or exercise program are the set of necessary, frequency and amusement that considers complex what kind of therapeutic exercise becomes accomplished with the patient take care of attention.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to compare the postoperative success and stability of arthroscopically assisted anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) reconstructions using the central one third bone patellar tendon bone(BPB) autograft versus a quadrupled semitendinosus/gracilis(ST) autograft in patients with "isolated" ACL tears. Materials & Methods : A strict criteria to identify isolated ACL tears was used which included : no previous surgery, no other ligamentous injury, no history of patellofemoral symptoms, no patellofemoral malalignment, no meniscal pathology, no chondromalacia or chondral injury and no limitation of motion of the injured knee. 30 patients (15 BPB, 15 ST) with a mean age of 27.4 years were available for a mean follow up of 18 months (between 12 months and 26 months). Preoperatively, there was no significant difference between the two groups with respect to age, sex and degree of laxity. Results : Postoperatively, we couldn't find significant differences between the two groups with respect to subjective Lysholm score, objective laxity including Lachman test, pivot shift test and KT-2000 measurements. Mean side to side difference of KT-2000 scores at 20lbs were 1.5mm for the BPB group and 1.4mm for the ST group. Positive Lachman test was found in 26.7% and 33.3% and positive pivot shift was found in 20% and 33.3% of the patients in the BPB and ST groups, respectively. Anterior knee pain (33.3%) was more common in the BPB group. There were 80% of the patients in both groups above nearly normal grade according to the IKDC grade. Conclusions : In patients with "isolated" ACL tears, the overall results, ligamentous stability for the patellar tendon and the quadrupled semitendinosus/gracilis were comparable. We consider that the quadrupled autogenous hamstring tendon is a good alternative substitute in ACL reconstruction together with the bone patellar tendon bone.
