Abstract

ABSTRACT:
Introduction: This study compares transtibial and All-inside techniques frequently used in ACL reconstruction.
Methods: Patients with acute or chronic ACL rupture, reconstruction with one of the transtibial and All-inside techniques, using hamstring autograft, having adequate pre- and postoperative documentation and completing the 24th postoperative month were included in the study and compared retrospectively.
Results: Forty-five patients, 22 of whom were operated on with the transtibial technique and 23 with the All-inside technique, were included in the study. Age, sex-sex distribution and BMI values were similar. While better clinical results were obtained in the early postoperative period in the all-inside group, the results were identical in both groups at 2-year follow-ups.
Conclusion: Transtibial and All-inside techniques are reliable and promise good clinical results in ACL reconstructions.

Ön Çapraz Bağ Rekonstrüksiyonunda All-Inside Yöntem ile Transtibial Yöntemin Erken-Orta Dönem Sonuçlarının Karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Giriş: Bu çalışma, ÖÇB rekonstrüksiyonunda transtibial ve All-inside tekniklerini karşılaştırmaktadır.
Yöntem: Akut veya kronik ÖÇB rüptürü olan, transtibial veya All-inside tekniklerinden biriyle rekonstrüksiyon yapılan ve hamstring otogrefti kullanılan hastalar retrospektif olarak çalışmaya dahil edildi.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya 22'si transtibial teknikle, 23'ü All-inside tekniğiyle opere edilen 45 hasta dahil edildi. Yaş, cinsiyet dağılımı ve VKİ değerleri benzerdi. All-inside grubunda postoperatif erken dönemde daha iyi klinik sonuçlar elde edilirken, 2 yıllık takipte sonuçlar her iki grupta da benzerdi.
Sonuç: Transtibial ve All-inside teknikleri her ikisi de güvenilirdir ve ÖÇB rekonstrüksiyonlarında iyi klinik sonuçlar vaat etmektedir.
