Abstract:Objective To compare the early clinical outcome of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction using the autogenous four-strand hamstring tendons (ST/G) and the ligament advanced reinforcement system(LARS) artificial ligaments.Methods From July 2008 to May 2013, 58 cases of PCL reconstruction in the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical College were studied. LARS artificial ligamentsor autogenous hamstring tendons were chosen as grafts for PCL reconstruction, including 30 LARS artificial ligaments (LARS group) and 28 autogenous hamstring tendons (ST/G group). Intrafix interference screw at both the femoral side and tibial side were used in LARS group. In ST/G group the endobutton was used at the femoral side, and intrafix interference screw and staple fixation were used at the tibal side. Lysholm score, tegner score and IKDC score were used to evaluated each patient in pre-operation, 3 months post-operation, 6 months post-operation, 9 months post-operation and 12 months post-operation, respectively.Results All patients were completed operation and followed-up for 12-18 months, average 14.5 months. The times of walking with crutch, walking without crutch and recovering mild exercise after operation[(12.4±4.3)h、(40.3±5.7)h、(3.4±0.6)h, respectively] in LARS group were less than those in ST/G group[(23.5±6.6)h、(60.4±7.6)h、(7.2±1.3)h, respectively]. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups (t′=7.532、t=11.445、 t′=14.127, all P values<0.05). Lysholm scores and IKDC scores in LARS group were higher than those in ST/G group at 3 months post-operation, 6 months post-operation and 9 months post-operation. Tegner scores in LARS group were higher than those in ST/G group at 3 months post-operation and 6 months post-operation., There were statistically significant differences between the two groups (all P values<0.05). The scores of the three knee functions in cases using the LARS artificial ligaments were higher than those in cases using autogenous hamstring tendon 12 months post-operation (all P values>0.05).Coclusions The early clinical outcome in the patients using the LARS artificial ligaments is better than that in the patients using ST/G.
