[128464785] It was reported via journal article: title: "clinical results of hamstring autografts in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a comparison of femoral knot/press-fit fixation and interference screw fixation," author(s): wei-pin ho, m. D. , chian-her lee, m. D. , chang-hung huang, ph. D. , chih-hwa chen, m. D. , and tai-yuan chuang, m. D. Citation: arthroscopy: the journal of arthroscopic and related surgery, vol 30, no 7 (july), 2014: pp 823-832; doi: http://dx. Doi. Org/10. 1016/j. Arthro. 2014. 02. 041. This non-randomized retrospective study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of femoral knot/press-fit anterior cruciate ligament (acl) reconstruction with conventional techniques using femoral interference screws. Between 199 and 2010, 73 patients completed the follow-up study and were allocated into two groups for arthroscopic acl reconstruction: group a (n=40; n=18 male and n=22 female; mean age of 32 [ranged 18-46 years]) using femoral knot/press-fit fixation; and group b (n=33; n=16 male and n=17 female; mean age of 34 [ranged 19-44 years]) using femoral interference screw fixation. In graft preparation, no. 2 ethibond sutures was used to suture the knot in group a, and were used to affixed to the end of the tendon in group b. The mersilene tapes on the 2 grafts were secured to the prepositioned no. 5 ethibond and drawn through the lateral aspect of the knee through the intercondylar notch and out the entrance of the tibial tunnel. Both treatment groups utilized mersilene tape in tibial fixation which was placed over a bone bridge for each tendon loop. At last follow-up, symptoms included pain during moderate or strenuous activities (n=2 group a; n=1 group b); swelling during moderate or strenuous activity (n=1 group b); symptoms of partial giving way during moderate or strenuous activities (n=1 group a); occasional full giving way during moderate or strenuous activities (n=1 group b); patella femoral crepitus with mild pain (n=1 group a; n=1 group b); and grade i osteoarthritis (n=7 group a; n=5 group b). Complications with femoral knot/press-fit method included skin irritation around mersilene tape tied at the tibial incision (n=4 group a; n=2 group b) for which one patient underwent removal of mersilene tape under local anesthesia 3 years after reconstruction. A (b)(6) female patient experienced frequent knee instability, knee pain and graft rupture. Femoral knot/press-fit acl reconstruction did not appear to provide increased anterior instability compared with that of conventional femoral interference screw acl reconstruction.
