Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair Versus Reconstruction for Acute Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury
Background: Arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) reconstruction is so far the gold standard for the treatment of ACL ruptures, but this technique still suffers from problems of tendon-bone healing, bone tunnel enlargement, bone resorption, a low rate of return to motion,etc. In recent years, due to the innovation of medical materials …
Efficacy of the NXSignal Device for the Treatment of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries
Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is very common among sports professionals and the general population \[. Unlike other joint injuries, it is reversible, but it can damage adjacent tissues, particularly the meniscus, and catalyze knee osteoarthritis. ACL injury produces instability, joint mechanical alteration, which can lead to degenerative …
Biologic Therapy to Prevent Osteoarthritis After ACL Injury
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are extremely common. On average, 50% of individuals suffering an ACL injury will develop radiographic osteoarthritis (OA) 10 to 20 years after injury. Unfortunately, ACL reconstruction does not prevent risk of future OA. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) levels in the human knee joint increase transiently after an …
Assessment of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Degeneratio Mucosa Treatment
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Degeneratio Mucosa is a condition resulting from mucoid degeneration of ACL. Exact etiology is unknown, however ACL Degeneratio Mucosa impairs everyday functioning. In the literature there were some reports of treatment by ACL excision and subsequent reconstruction, however such treatment brings risk of deteriorated function. In …
Dynamic Muscular Electrical Stimulation Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in Military Academy Cadets
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the effects of 12 weeks of post-operative use of a novel wearable electrical stimulation knee sleeve device (KneeStim) on post-operative biomechanical function (gait). Participants will be United States Military Academy cadets aged 17-27 years. The main questions it aims to answer …
ALL Reconstruction Versus Modified Lemaire's LET in Combination With ACL Reconstruction With a Minimum Follow up of 2 Years
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are associated with concomitant lesions of the anterolateral ligament (ALL), which increase rotatory instability of the knee. If untreated, ALL insufficiency can compromise the results of ACL reconstruction, with higher risk of iterative ACL tear or additional meniscal lesion. Several surgical techniques have been described …
Steps Towards Osteoarthritis Prevention
Optimal knee joint loading, which refers to the forces acting on the knee caused by daily activities such as daily steps, plays an essential role in maintaining knee articular cartilage health and reducing the risk of osteoarthritis (OA). After anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), individuals take fewer daily steps as …
Graded Exposure and Mindfulness Meditation for Patients Post-ACL Reconstruction
To evaluate the effect of graded exposure and mindfulness meditation after ACLR, the investigators will determine the effect of graded exposure and mindfulness meditation to 1) decrease self-reported injury-related fear and reinjury anxiety, and 2) improve lower extremity reaction time when compared to a waitlist control group.
Bracing and Reconstruction of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament for Efficacy Trial
Several attempts have been made to reduce these failure rates and improve return to sports rates in high-risk populations, and one of these approaches has been postoperative bracing. A recent survey of the Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) Study Group has shown that 53% of surgeons prefers functional bracing following ACL …
Effect of Visual-Guided Balance Training on Knee Motor Function and Biomechanical Characteristics After ACL Reconstruction
This study aims to investigate the improvement effect of visual-guided balance training on the knee joint function and gait performance of patients after ACLR, and to clarify the advantages of this training program compared to conventional rehabilitation training; at the same time, by including healthy individuals as the control group, …
