This article describes a modified arthroscopic technique of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using quadrupled hamstring tendon graft. The autogenous semitendinosus and gracilis grafts are harvested without detachment of the tibial insertion. To obtain longer graft, the accessory tibial insertions of the hamstring tendons are dissected. The EndoButton(Acupex Microsurgical, Andover, MA) is used for femoral fixation and two spiked staples are used for tibial fixation in a belt buckle fashion. Then the residual anterior laxity is restored by additional absorbable interference screw fixations. In this technique. more viable graft is obtained and firmer distal fixation is achieved by preservation of the tibial insertion of hamstring tendons.

The pretibial cyst is a very rare complication after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. It occurs whatever kind of graft choice or kind of graft fixation method at tibial side. It have been known such as graft necrosis at tibial side, extra-articular leakage of joint fluid through tibial tunnel, foreign body reaction due to breakdown of the bioabsorbable screw and incomplete incorporation of graft to bony tunnel as the cause of pretibial cyst. We experienced one case of pretibial cyst which had undergone ACL reconstruction with autogenous hamstring graft fixed with biodegradable interference screw. We report a rare case of pretibial cyst with literature review.

The all inside anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction technique places an anterior ligament substitutes within two bony sockets rather than hone tunnel. This approach is accomplished through arthroscopic three portal which avoids the surgical exposure and morbidity associated with creating traditional bone tunnel. This technique has several distinct advantages when compared with the traditional ACL reconstruction through the bone tunnels. It offers the surgeon a less morbid method for ACL reconstruction that positions an ACL substitute at the anatomic attachment sites of the original ACL with two bone sockets, obviating the need for traditional bone tunnels. Graft fixation at or near the anatomic attachment points of the original ACL minimizes creep with early range of motion and reduces the abrasive 'wind-shield wipe' motion of the graft which occur with bone plugs positioned inside bone tunnels. The sagittal posterior angle to the tibial socket increases fixation strength to pullout with anterior translation force for the tibia on the femur. This technique is not graft specific and can accomodate any graft in which graft length can be customized to the intraarticular native ACL length.

The giant cell tumor of tendon sheath is very rarely present inside the knee joint. The authors report a case of intraarticular giant cell tumor of tendon sheath arising from posterior cruciate ligament which was successfully excised arthroscopically using posterior trans-septal portal at the time of arthroscopic reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament.

Background: We aimed to examine the factors that influence synovialization of the grafted tendon after double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction based on second-look arthroscopic findings. Methods: Out of 205 knees that were treated between August 2008 and May 2016 with double-bundle ACL reconstruction using bio-absorbable cross-pins and Endobuttons for femoral tunnel fixation, we enrolled 65 knees (64 patients) that underwent second-look arthroscopy with hardware removal at 1 year postoperatively. Measured clinical outcomes included the Lysholm score and Tegner activity score that were evaluated preoperatively and during the final follow-up. We analyzed the relationship between synovial coverage and patient age, length of the preserved remnant tissue on the tibial side, type of bundle (anteromedial or posterolateral), type of graft (autograft or allograft), and time from injury to surgery. Results: The area of synovial coverage showed a significant statistical correlation with patient age and the length of the preserved remnant tissue on the tibial side. The average synovial coverage was significantly better for the anteromedial bundle than for the posterolateral bundle, better for the autograft than for the allograft reconstruction, and better when treated in the acute stage than in the chronic stage. However, synovialization of grafted tendon did not correlate to clinical outcomes. Conclusions: While we were able to identify several factors influencing synovialization of the grafted tendon after double-bundle ACL reconstruction, including patient age, length of preserved remnant tissue of the torn ACL, type of bundle, type of graft, and time from injury to surgery, we found no evidence that increased synovialization improves clinical outcomes at 1 year postoperatively.

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.

목적: 전방 십자 인대 파열 환자를 대상으로 자가 골-슬개건-골과 동종 아킬레스 건을 이용해 관절경적 재건술을 시행하고 이식건에 따른 임상 경과를 분석하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 2002년 8월부터 2004년 4월까지 본원에서 전방 십자 인대 손상 환자를 대상으로 관절경적 재건술을 시행한 83례 중 1년 이상 추시가 가능했던 60 명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 제 I 군(32례)은 자가 골-슬개건-골 이식물을 이용하고, 제 II 군(28례)은 동종 아킬레스건 이식술을 이용하여 재건술을 시행하였다. 수술시 평균 환자의 나이는 33.5 세였고, 평균 추시 기간은 18 개월(12 개월${\sim}$30 개월)이었다. 환자의 주관적 평가로 수술 후 1년째 Lysholm knee scoring scale을 사용하였고 객관적 평가로 KT-2000TM arthrometer(MED metric, USA)를 사용하였다. Chi-square 경향 분석, 독립적 T 검정 방법으로 비교 분석하였고, 통계 프로그램은 SPSS 10.0 version을 이용하였다. 결과: 수술 후 1년째 KT-2000 arthrometer에서는 30 Ibs부하시 정상측과 비교하여 술 후 자가 골-슬개건-골군에서 1.53 mm, 동종 아킬레스건군에서 1.38 mm의 차이를 보여 만족스러운 결과를 보였다. 최종 Lysholm knee scoring scale을 이용한 평가 결과는 자가 골-슬개건-골군이 평균 93.9점(good), 동종 아킬레스 건군이 94.8점(good)이었으나 통계적 의미는 없었다. 결론: 저자들의 경우 Lysholm 점수, KT-2000 관절 계측 결과 등은 동종 아킬레스건군에서 자가 골-슬개건-골군과 비교하여 통계학적인 의미는 없었다. 전방 십자 인대 재건술시 이식건의 선택은 환자 개개인의 특성과 상황에 따라 달라져야 할 것으로 생각되며, 동종 아킬레스건도 임상적으로 좋은 결과를 보여 선택적으로 자가 이식건의 대체물로 사용될 수 있으리라 사료된다.
