Abstract:
Context: Reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common surgical procedures, with more than 200,000 ACL tears occurring annually. Although primary ACL reconstruction is a successful operation, success rates still range from 75% to 97%. Consequently, several thousand revision ACL reconstructions are performed annually and are unfortunately associated with inferior clinical outcomes when compared with primary reconstructions. Evidence Acquisition: Data were obtained from peer-reviewed literature through a search of the PubMed database (1988-2013) as well as from textbook chapters and surgical technique papers. Study Design: Clinical review. Level of Evidence: Level 4. Results: The clinical outcomes after revision ACL reconstruction are largely based on level IV case series. Much of the existing literature is heterogenous with regard to patient populations, primary and revision surgical techniques, concomitant ligamentous injuries, and additional procedures performed at the time of the revision, which limits generalizability. Nevertheless, there is a general consensus that the outcomes for revision ACL reconstruction are inferior to primary reconstruction. Conclusion: Excellent results can be achieved with regard to graft stability, return to play, and functional knee instability but are generally inferior to primary ACL reconstruction. A staged approach with autograft reconstruction is recommended in any circumstance in which a single-stage approach results in suboptimal graft selection, tunnel position, graft fixation, or biological milieu for tendon-bone healing. Strength-of-Recommendation Taxonomy (SORT): Good results may still be achieved with regard to graft stability, return to play, and functional knee instability, but results are generally inferior to primary ACL reconstruction: Level B.

Abstract:
Ligaments are strong collagenous structures that act as constraints on joint motion, thus confining the articular surfaces to more or less the same paths. In so doing they prevent arbitrary apposition of these surfaces from occurring and resulting in abnormal stresses which may damage the joint surfaces. Ligaments rupture due to excessive loads, particularly those resulting from trauma occurring during sporting events or motor vehicle accidents. Knee and ankle joints have the highest frequency of ligamentous injuries. This paper is a brief review of the current approaches to the reconstruction of the knee ligaments with specific reference to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) being the most frequently reconstructed. This is not only because it is frequently injured but also because of the debilitating consequences of such an injury. Approaches ranging from the conservative to those that advocate the use of frank prosthetic replacement have been adopted by surgeons at both ends of the spectrum. Following a discussion of the rationale for reconstruction of the ACL, the mechanical and biological considerations of the reconstructive procedure are discussed. The different methods of ACL reconstruction are reviewed. These include: (a) primary repair, (b) reconstruction with different tissues, including autogenous allografts and xenografts, (c) reconstruction employing different synthetic devices. A brief discussion of the procedures used for reconstruction with different types of tissue and of the surviving examples of the synthetic devices will follow.

Abstract:
Background Revision of an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is a complicated and delicate clinical procedure whose results, theoretically, are less satisfactory than those of the first operation. Hypothesis The outcome of a revised anterior cruciate ligament surgery is comparable to primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, with a rate of success around 70% to 80%. Study Design Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods A total of 66 revisions of anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions were carried out from September 2000 to September 2004. Patients with concomitant instability and those with alterations in the weightbearing axis of the lower limbs were not included. Sixty patients were followed from 24 to 72 months: 50 clinically and 10 by a phone interview. Six patients were lost to follow-up due to changes of address. Results Lysholm scores were 57% excellent (95–100 points), 13% good (84–94 points), 22% fair (63–83 points), and 8% poor (<64 points). A total of 68% of patients had negative Lachman tests, 20% had positive tests with a hard end point, 10% had positive results, and 2% had very positive results. Stabilometric evaluation with the KT-1000 arthrometer at the maximum load showed that 56% of patients had <3 mm side-to-side difference, 34% had between 3 and 5 mm, and 10% had 6 to 10 mm. The International Knee Documentation Committee scores were 36% excellent (class A), 46% good (class B), and 18% fair (class C). The percentage of patients who resumed sport at the same level was 78%, compared with 58% after their primary reconstruction. Conclusion The results of these anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction revision surgeries are close to those achieved by other series of primary reconstructions with a little less satisfactory results. We attribute the high success rate to the strict application of the same technique and the confinement of revision to motivated patients. It should be noted, however, that follow-up is only at the midterm stage (mean, 41.9 months).

Abstract:
Introduction: The most recent advances in ACL reconstruction try to reproduce the anatomic femoral and tibial footprints as close as possible. Creating independent tunnels would allow an optimal of the entry point and the femoral tunnel obliquity, and together with an adequate reamer diameter they wouldreproduce with greater certainty the anatomy. Objective: To compare the radiographic parameters of the femoral and tibial tunnel positions in two groups of patients, one operated with a transtibial and other with transportal anatomic techniques. Materials and Methods: From December 2012 to December 2013, 59 patients with a primary ACL reconstruction divided in two groups, a trans tibial technique (TT), 19 patients, and an transportal one (TP) with 40 patients were prospectively evaluated with AP and lateral X-rays. The femoral tunnel angle, the insertion site with respect of the Blumensaat line, the trans osseous distance, the tibial tunnel position as a percentage of the tibial plateau in the AP and lateral views. And finally the tibial tunnel angle in the AP and Lateral views. Results: The femoral tunnel angle was in the TP group of 45,92º and in the TT one 24,53º, p 0,002. The insertion site percentage of the Blumensaat line was of 20,96 in TP and 20,74 in the TT, p 0,681.Trans osseous distance was in the TP of 3,43 cm and in the TT of 4,79 cm, p <0,000. The tibial tunnel position as a percentage in the AP tibial plateau was of 44,35 in TP and of 40,80 TT with a p of 0,076. The tibial tunnel position as a percentage of the lateral tibial plateau was of 28,70 in TP and 34,53 in TT with a p 0,367. Tibial tunnel angle in the AP was of 73,48º in TP and 62,81 in TT with a p of 0,002, and in the lateral plateau of 114,69º in TP and 112,79º in TT with a p of 0,427. Conclusion: It is possible to create tibial and femoral tunnel in optimal positions but not equal between both groups. Creating independent tunnels allow a more anterior and vertical tibial tunnel allowing a better coverage of the tibial footprint. A transportal femoral tunnel would allow a better inclination angle and a lesser trans-osseous distance, technical details that would allow a better coverage of the femoral footprint.

Abstract:
Conventional anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction grafts have not been able to replicate the mechanical behaviour of the native ACL, reproduce normal knee mechanics and kinematics, or prevent degenerative disease progression of the knee. The aim of this thesis was to investigate a novel ACL design to more closely mimic the normal mechanical behaviour of the ACL, reconstruct the isometric ACL fibre and potentially reproduce the normal kinematics and mechanics of the knee. The designed artificial ACL reconstruction (ACLR) system could be used as a stand-alone device or in conjunction with a total knee replacement (TKR). The nominated design option for the ACLR system consisted of a connecting cord made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibres and an elastic system made of cobalt-chrome-molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy with similar load-elongation characteristics to the native ACL. The design requirements were defined based on the mechanical properties of the native ACL, size constraints from the bony geometry and TKR components, and the location of the isometric fibres of the native ACL. The in vitro mechanical tests performed in this project on the designed cord showed a 2-3 times greater ultimate tensile load compared to the ACL in young human cadavers. The decreasing creep modulus of the UHMWPE cord under fatigue loading in simulated body conditions (3118 MPa at 6.5×106 cycle) indicated nominal creep and stabilised mechanical properties by the 3000th loading cycle. To replicate the non-linear stiffness of the ACL with ~38 N mm-1 toe and ~100 N mm-1 linear regions, the artificial ACLR device consisted of a femoral spring (~60 N mm-1) in series with a tibial spring (~100 N mm-1) and a connecting cord (~2000 N mm-1). Two helical springs in series were used for the stand-alone ACLR, whereas a helical spring in series with a spiral spring was designed for the ACLR-TKR. As both the helical and spiral springs had a constant stiffness, stop mechanisms were added to the springs to create a non-linear stiffness and control the maximum safe deformation limit of each spring. To understand the mechanical behaviour of the reconstructed isometric fibre of the ACL, passive and loaded motions were simulated in 18 sets of segmented MRI models of healthy human knees. Constant load and elongation was observed throughout flexion during the passive movements, whereas maximal load and elongation in the reconstructed ACL was identified at 50 º of flexion during loaded motion. An ACL attachment placement sensitivity study, conducted in this project to assess the effect of surgical implantation error on the behaviour of the reconstructed ACL, revealed that misplacement of the femoral attachment would significantly influence the load-elongation of the reconstructed ACL. Finite element (FE) models of the designed ACLR devices enabled their behaviour under simulated axial loading, squatting and the Lachman test to be assessed. Both ACLR devices successfully reproduced stiffness of the native ACL with a multi-linear stiffness curve, however, elongation greater than 3.1 mm could not be achieved. It can be concluded that the designed artificial ACLR devices were able to mimic the mechanical behaviour of the ACL provided it was positioned at the isometric attachment points; potentially enabling achievement of more natural kinematics and mechanics of the reconstructed knee. However, ACL placement was shown to have a significant impact on the behaviour of the reconstructed ACL, therefore, placement error may over-constrain the joint. For this reason, a more forgiving design with a lower stiffness and a larger deformation limit would be advised.

Abstract:
Swelling is universal after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR). Cooling compressive devices aim to treat swelling after surgery, but research has focussed more on pain than swelling. The aims of this work were to measure knee swelling in ACLR with a perometer (an optoelectric volumeter) and to evaluate an intervention for knee swelling in ACLR which uses a cold compressive device. The main outcome for the studies was knee volume measured using the perometer. Reliability was established and a randomised controlled trial was undertaken The study aimed to compare the use of Cryocuff, and elevation, with standard treatment used post ACLR (compression bandage alone). Secondary outcomes were also measured to assess the correlates of knee swelling in ACLR. The patients were randomised into a standard treatment group or into a Cryocuff and elevation group. Knee volume in both knees was measured pre-operatively and at two weeks post-operatively using the perometer. Secondary variables measured included: - range of movement, pain, knee laxity and function, medication use, tourniquet and discharge times, and operative factors. There was with no significant difference between the groups (p=0.977). This study did not find Cryocuff and elevation to be more effective for minimising swelling at 2 weeks post-operatively, than a compression bandage alone. The perometer was reliable with Intra class correlation coefficient of 0.996. Significant correlates of swelling post-ACLR were: blood pressure; knee joint laxity and extension loss, with daily elevation time and Intravenous fluid given intra operatively close to significance. Further investigation outlined the level and profile of compression applied to the knee by the Cryocuff found that this device may have inherent features that could be provocative of swelling.

Abstract:
Thesis Title: Enhancing rehabilitation following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Context: Physical training with a neuromuscular focus has been shown to reduce anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. However, ACL injury remains prevalent and often leads to joint instability, which requires surgical reconstruction. Following reconstructive surgery, a minimum of 6 months supervised rehabilitation is recommended with associated with financial cost implications to the National Health Service (NHS), the patient and society. Traditionally rehabilitation is offered in a concurrent format, whereby strength and cardio-vascular endurance exercises are performed in the same session. However, accumulating evidence from healthy populations, suggests that the development of strength might be attenuated by cardio-vascular endurance conditioning performed in close temporal proximity. This thesis comprises an entirely novel investigation of potential attenuation of strength gains in rehabilitating clinical populations that is associated with temporal incompatibility of physiological conditioning stimuli. No study has previously investigated this phenomenon, whether it might compromise the efficacy of treatment or recovery, or its potential influence on objectively-measured and patients’ perception of functional, musculoskeletal and neuromuscular performance capabilities. Objectives: The purpose of this thesis was to assess the effects of reconstruction surgery and 24 weeks of non-concurrent strength and endurance rehabilitation (with 48 week post-operative follow-up) on (a) subjective (IKDC; KOOS; PP [Chapter 4]) and objective measures of function (HOP [Chapter 5]) (primary outcome measures for this thesis), and (b) objective measures of musculoskeletal (ATFD) and neuromuscular performance (PF, EMD, RFD, SMP [Chapter 5]) (secondary outcome measures), in patients with anterior cruciate ligament deficiency. The secondary aim was to evaluate the relationships amongst a subjective outcome of function (IKDC), an objective outcome of function (HOP), and the secondary objective outcomes of musculoskeletal (ATFD) and neuromuscular (PF, RFD, EMD, SMP) performance at pre-surgery and at 24 weeks post-surgery (Chapter 6). Setting: Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. Design: Prospective random-allocation to group trial involving iso-volume rehabilitative intervention versus contemporary practice, using contralateral limb assessment and clinico-social approbation controls. The design compared the effects of experimental post-surgical rehabilitation comprising non-concurrent strength and endurance conditioning with two conditions of control reflecting contemporary clinical practice (matched versus minimal assessment interaction). Participants: Eighty two patients (69♂, 13♀, age: 35.4 ± 8.6 yr; time from injury to surgery 9.4 ± 6.9 months [mean ± SD]) electing to undergo unilateral ACL reconstructive surgery (semitendinosus and gracilis graft [n = 57]; central third, bone-patella tendon-bone graft [n = 25]); were allocated to groups (2:2:1 purposive sampling ratio, respectively). Nineteen patients were lost to follow-up. Intervention: A standardised traditional concurrent (CON) ACL rehabilitation programme acted as the control versus an experimental non-concurrent (NCON) ACL rehabilitation programme that involved separation of strength and cardio-vascular endurance conditioning. An additional control group (Limited testing CON) matched the CON group rehabilitation applied within contemporary clinical practice. Outcome Measures: Chapter 4: The self-perceived primary outcome measures of function IKDC, KOOS and PP were assessed on five separate occasions (pre-surgery, and at 6, 12, 24 and 48 weeks post-surgery). However, assessment occasions were purposefully reduced to pre-operative and 48 weeks post-operative for the Limited testing CON group. Chapter 5: The primary objective outcome of function was HOP; the secondary outcomes were ATFD, PF, RFD, EMD and SMP associated with the knee extensors and flexors of the injured and non-injured legs. These objective outcomes were assessed on five separate occasions (pre-surgery, and at 6, 12, 24 and 48 weeks post-surgery). However, assessment occasions were purposefully reduced to pre-operative and at 48 weeks post-operative only for the Limited testing CON group. Chapter 6 Self-perceived (IKDC) subjective knee evaluation and the objective outcome of function (HOP), and selected objective outcomes of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular performance including ATFD, PF, RFD, EMD and SMP of the knee extensors and flexors of the injured and non-injured legs where applicable; measured at pre-surgery and at 24 weeks post-surgery were analysed for association, using Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients. A priori alpha levels were set at p<0.05. Results: Chapter 4: Factorial analyses of variance (ANOVAs) with repeated-measures investigating the primary aim showed significant group (NCON; CON) by test occasion (pre-surgery, 6, 12. 24 and 48 weeks post-surgery) interactions for self-perceived outcomes of function IKDC, KOOS and PP confirmed increased clinical effectiveness of NCON conditioning (F(2.0, 82.9)GG = 4.0 p<0.05, F(2.2, 134.7)GG = 5.5 p<0.001, F(1.9, 121.4)GG = 14.6 p<0.001, respectively) and the group mean peak relative difference in improvement for NCON was ~5.9% - 12.7% superior to CON. The greatest interaction effect was found to occur between pre-surgery and the 12 weeks post-operative test occasion for IKDC and KOOS, and between pre-surgery and the 24 week test occasion for PP. Patterns of improvements in self-perceived fitness over time were represented by a relative effect size range of 0.71 to 1.92. Improvement patterns were not significantly different between control groups offering matched or minimised assessor-patient interaction (CON vs. Limited testing CON; pre-surgery vs. 48 weeks post-surgery) indicating that clinical approbation by patients had not contributed to the outcome. Chapter 5: Factorial analyses of variance (ANOVAs) with repeated-measures showed significant group (NCON; CON) by leg (injured/non-injured) by test occasion (pre-surgery, 6, 12, 24 and 48 weeks post-surgery) interactions of the objective measure of function (HOP) together with the secondary outcomes of ATFD, PF, RFD, EMD and SMP. Similar responses were noted for the knee extensors and flexors of the injured and non-injured legs (F(2.1, 248) GG = 4.5 to 6.6; p<0.01) and confirmed increased clinical effectiveness of NCON conditioning (range ~4.7% - 15.3% [10.8%]) better than CON between 12 and 48 weeks. Patterns of improvements in physical fitness capabilities over time were represented by a relative effect size range of 1.92 to 2.89. Improvement patterns were not significantly different between control groups offering matched or minimised assessor-patient interaction (CON vs. Limited testing CON; pre-surgery versus 48 weeks post-surgery) indicating that clinical approbation by patients had not contributed to the outcome. Chapter 6: Two-tailed probabilities were used due to the exploratory nature of this study. A limited number of weak to moderate statistically significant correlations were confirmed (ranging from r = 0.262 – 0.404; p<0.05; n=48 [amalgamated NCON and CON groups] ) between IKDC and most notably, the neuromuscular performance outcome of EMD. Conclusion: Overall, the patterning and extent of changes amongst self-perceived, functional, musculoskeletal and neuromuscular performance scores offer support for the efficacy of using non-concurrent strength and endurance conditioning to enhance post-surgery rehabilitation. The limited robustness of relationships amongst the validated and frequently-used self-perceived outcome of function [IKDC], and objectively-measured outcomes of function and musculoskeletal and neuromuscular performance suggested that each might properly reflect an important but separate aspect of clinical response and should be deployed to detect change.

Abstract:
The scope of this thesis was to verify whether anatomic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) with close replication of its two main bundles ensures better knee kinematics and improved clinical outcomes. The thesis articulates into three parts. In the first part the current anatomic knowledge is reviewed with regard to the double bundle ACL structure and an anatomic study is presented: its results will serve as a basis for the following kinematics and clinical studies. In the second part, a method to investigate cadaveric knee laxities is presented and employed to test intact and ACL deficient knees and to explore the function of the anteromedial and posterolateral ACL bundles. The ACL was found to be a primary restrain to anterior tibial translation mainly because of the action of the anteromedial bundle, with the posterolateral acting as a secondary restrain. Both bundles then were found to equally contribute to control the limit of internal rotation. Finally the reconstruction of both ACL bundles was demonstrated to be superior to traditional single bundle reconstruction in restoring intact knee anterior and rotational laxity. The third part focused on double bundle surgical technique with the development of surgical instruments that were validated on cadaver knees and found to be extremely accurate on the tibial side, less on the femur. Surgical technique was then improved and introduced into clinical practice. Two clinical studies were conducted and demonstrated the superiority of double bundle anatomic reconstruction in improving subjective and objective results as well as instrumented knee laxity measurements. In conclusion the main finding of this thesis was that, after a deep understanding of ACL anatomy and biomechanics, the replication at surgery of its native structure improves knee stability and patients’ satisfaction.

Abstract:
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is one of the most common sport-related injuries and the request for ACL reconstructions is increasing nowadays. Unfortunately, ACL graft failures may occur in about 5.2% of cases. Unrecognized concomitant meniscus and ligamentous lesions are estimated to be responsive of about 15% of ACL reconstruction failures. Isolated ACL reconstruction in this setting may not be enough to properly restore knee stability. If not properly treated, such lesions may expose ACL graft to excessive stress, thus predisposing to failure. This article aims at highlighting the role of associated lesion in determining failure of ACL reconstruction, while also providing an evidencebased algorithm about proper management. Keywords: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction; Failure; Concomitant lesions; Meniscus; Medial collateral ligament; Posterolateral corner

Abstract:
In this paper, we aim to model a functional task affected by injury, along with the corresponding neuromuscular compensation strategy, in order to understand differences in task performance during recovery from the injury. This study is motivated by differing rates of functional task improvements during recovery from anterior cruciate ligament repair. In particular, clinical studies have shown faster recovery times for single-limb forward hopping versus single-limb crossover hopping (hopping back and forth laterally while moving forward). Modeling this hopping task will help us understand whether the main factor of the differing functional results is from the physical restrictions of the injury, the compensation strategies used to overcome these restrictions, or a combination of both. Our hypothesis is that the discrepancies in clinical functional results will be reproduced by employing a feedforward compensation strategy, where the compensation is learned and adjusted over time.

Abstract:
Anterior and posterior cruciate ligament (ACL and PCL) reconstructions are common knee arthroscopic surgeries. ACL and PCL reconstruction have small incision sites, thus enabling fast recovery of the patient. However, an arthroscope provides a limited view due to the small size of the camera lens, and a small incision restricts the motion of surgical instruments. As a result, finding the exact bone drilling position that was preoperatively determined to connect a new ligament between the femur and tibia is challenging during surgery. A previous study verified that the complication ratio of ACL and PCL reconstruction is 9.0 % and 20.1 %, respectively, which are particularly high compared to other knee arthroscopic surgeries [1]. Augmented reality (AR)-based surgical guidance can assist in difficult ACL and PCL reconstruction. Hu et al. [2] proposed AR-based non-invasive drilling guidance for the femur in open knee surgery. To implement the non-invasive system, they performed the registration between the depth data of the femur obtained from RGBD sensors and the pre-scanned femur model. However, this method is suitable for open knee surgery and is not for arthroscopic surgeries such as ACL and PCL reconstruction. Recently, Chen et al. [3] introduced non-invasive AR for knee arthroscopy. However, to reflect knee movements occurring during surgery in AR, it is necessary to manually select four anatomical landmarks in the arthroscopic view. Manual selection is inconvenient and may be inconsistent, interfering with surgical procedures. In this study, we propose a non-invasive AR-based surgical guidance for ACL and PCL reconstruction with compensation of the intraoperative knee movement. Unlike preoperative CT and MR, which are taken under the extension state, the knee is under the flexion state during surgery, which requires compensation for the knee movement. The proposed method estimates knee movement without direct bone exposure or manual intervention by exploring the correlation between the knee surface and the internal bones (femur and tibia) based on a finite element method. The proposed method can enhance the AR for knee arthroscopic procedures, leading to more accurate bone drilling for ACL or PCL reconstruction.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: This meta-analysis was conducted to compare outcomes among different types of graft for revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Condition being studied: Results on the outcomes of different types of grafts used in revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction are valuable to surgeons because primary ACL reconstruction limits the types of grafts available for revision. Both autograft and allograft have been shown to improve clinical outcomes in previous studies of revision ACL reconstruction. The use of allografts reduces operation time and eliminates the risk of donor site morbidity, but allografts are more expensive than autografts. To date, two meta-analyses of revision ACL reconstruction have compared outcomes between autograft and allograft in younger patients. One meta-analysis reported that autograft produced superior outcomes, such as lower postoperative laxity, lower complication rate, and lower reoperation rate. However, if only non-irradiated allografts were considered, the lower reoperation rate was reported in allograft. The other meta-analysis reported that failure rates were not different between autograft and allograft.
