Single-Bundle versus Double-Bundle Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

ABSTRACT: Purpose:This meta-analysis evaluated the benefits of single-bundle (SB) and double-bundle (DB) surgical techniques for posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (PCLR) in terms of clinical outcomes. Methods:Five electronic databases were searched for relevant articles published until September 2016. Clinical outcomes of both techniques were evaluated using Lysholm knee function scores, Tegner activity scores, side-to-side differences, and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) objective grades. The results are presented as a risk ratio (RR) for binary outcomes and a weighted mean difference (WMD) for continuous outcomes with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Results:Four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included. There were no significant differences in the Lysholm knee function scores (WMD=1.63; 95% CI, 0.00 to 3.27; I2=0%), Tegner activity scores (WMD=0.17; 95% CI, -0.08 to 0.43; I2=20%), side-to-side differences (WMD=-0.97; 95% CI, -2.41 to 0.47; I2=78%), and IKDC objective grades (RR=1.18; 95% CI, 1.00 to 1.39; I2=0%) at the final follow-up. Conclusions:The present study demonstrates that both SB and DB techniques for PCLR are comparable in terms of restoration of knee stability and improvement of knee function. However, it is still unclear which technique yields better clinical outcomes. To verify and further corroborate our results, more larger-scale, high-quality RCTs are encouraged.

Anatomic Double-Bundle Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is known to be the main posterior stabilizer of the knee. Anatomic single-bundle PCL reconstruction, focusing on reconstruction of the larger anterolateral bundle, is the most commonly performed procedure. Because of the residual posterior and rotational tibial instability after the single-bundle procedure and the inability to restore the normal knee kinematics, an anatomic double-bundle PCL reconstruction has been proposed in an effort to re-create the native PCL footprint more closely and to restore normal knee kinematics. We detail our technique for an anatomic double-bundle PCL reconstruction using Achilles and anterior tibialis tendon allografts.

Double-bundle "all-inside" posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Project description:The procedure for repairing the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) has a steep learning curve and entails numerous difficult steps during surgery, because of the proximity of the neurovascular bundle, difficult passage of the graft through the posterior capsule, and risk of poor tibial fixation because of the long intramedullary trajectory of the graft. The use of instruments for retrograde reaming and a new device for adjustable cortical suspensory fixation allows for a safe, reproducible all-inside double-bundle PCL reconstruction by simplifying these difficult steps. We used anterior tibial allograft or hamstring autograft together with adjustable suspensory fixation devices that allow tensioning (after fixation) of the posterolateral bundle in extension and the anteromedial bundle in flexion.

Biomechanical comparison of single-bundle versus double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a meta-analysis.

Project description:BackgroundOf the many issues regarding surgical techniques related to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), single-bundle (SB) or double-bundle (DB) ACLR is one of the most debated topics. However, it is unclear which of the techniques yields better outcomes after ACLR for ACL injury. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to compare the benefits of SB versus DB ACLR in terms of biomechanical outcomes.MethodsThe electronic databases MEDLINE, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched for relevant articles comparing the outcomes of SB-ACLR versus DB-ACLR that were published until November 2019.ResultsSeventeen biomechanical studies were included. The anterior laxity measured using the anterior drawer test showed significantly better results in DB-ACLR when compared with SB-ACLR. In addition, outcomes of the anterior tibial translation test under a simulated pivot shift presented with better results at low flexion and 30° in DB-ACLR, compared with SB-ACLR. However, there were no significant biomechanical differences between the groups in internal rotation.ConclusionsThe present study demonstrated that both techniques for ACLR are associated with restoration of normal knee kinematics. DB-ACLR is superior to SB-ACLR in terms of restoration of anteroposterior stability. However, which technique yields better improvement in internal rotation laxity, and internal rotation laxity under a simulated pivot shift at a specific angle, remains unclear.Level of evidenceThis is a level II meta-analysis.

Autograft Anatomic, Double-Bundle Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:It is well known that the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is the main stabilizer to posterior tibial translation in the knee. Anatomic double-bundle reconstruction has recently been proposed to best restore posterior and rotational tibial instability, especially compared with a single-bundle PCL reconstruction (PCLR). Most publications in the peer-reviewed literature on double-bundle PCLR have used allografts. However, in many countries, allografts are not available. This Technical Note describes an all-autograft arthroscopic technique for PCLR using the quadriceps and semitendinosus tendons.

Single-Bundle Anatomical Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Remnant Preservation.

Project description:Remnant always exists following injuries of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). To improve the clinical outcomes of PCL reconstruction, preservation of the remnant has long been a consideration. However, how to make the remnant-preservation technique simple and more effective is of concern. We describe a single-bundle anatomical PCL reconstruction technique with remnant preservation in which the posteromedial and posterolateral portals are used, the graft is placed at the lateral side of the remnant, and pulleys are used to facilitate graft passage at the 2 killer turns of the grafting routes. We consider introduction of this technique will provide reasonable choices in PCL reconstruction.

Anatomic Double Bundle Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using an Internal Splint.

Project description:Techniques for reconstruction of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tears are rapidly evolving. One problem with current techniques is that laxity may develop early in the postoperative period, leading to relapsed posterior translation of the tibia. Therefore, maintaining tibial reduction during graft incorporation is a target for improvement. We describe using an internal splint to optimize the 4-tunnel, double-bundle allograft PCL reconstruction.

Four-Tunnel Double-Bundle Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Remnant Preservation.

Project description:The clinical results of posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (PCL) still leave much room for improvement. To get better knee stability, the double-bundle reconstruction, the use of strong grafts, and the preservation of the remnant have been applied. However, the combination of the 3 measures has seldom been reported. Thus I introduce a 4-tunnel double-bundle PCL reconstruction technique, in which I combine the use of strong grafts and preservation of the remnant. The critical point of this technique is manipulating skillfully across the femoral notch with the preservation, as well as the hindrance to operation of the PCL remnant. My clinical experience indicates this technique is somewhat complicated but most effective. I believe the introduction of this technique will provide an additional choice when PCL reconstruction is to be performed.

Four-Tunnel Double-Bundle Anatomical Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Without Remnant Preservation.

Project description:Double-bundle posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction has long been attempted to obtain better clinical results than single-bundle PCL reconstruction. In most previous reports regarding double-bundle PCL reconstruction, one tibial tunnel and various kinds of grafts were used. We introduce a two-tibial tunnel, double-bundle PCL reconstruction technique with ultra-strong grafts. The critical points of this technique are proper creation of the tibial tunnels and the protection of the posterior neurovascular structures. Our clinical experience indicates this technique can lead to satisfactory stable outcomes. We believe that this technique will provide a reasonable choice for PCL reconstruction without remnant preservation.

Combined Double Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:A double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction associated with an anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstructions is performed. The semitendinosus and gracilis are harvested. At knee maximum flexion, the anteromedial (AM) femoral tunnel is performed in the AM footprint area. Through the anterolateral portal, the tip of the outside-in femoral guide is placed in the posterolateral footprint area. The guide sleeve is pushed onto the lateral femoral cortex at the ALL attachment. At 110° knee flexion, the posterolateral-ALL tunnel is performed. The tibial ACL tunnel is performed as usual. The tibial guide is placed between the ALL tibial attachment and the tibial ACL tunnel entrance to perform the ALL tibial tunnel. The gracilis graft is introduced from caudal to cranial, achieving fixation with a 6-mm diameter screw (outside-in). The AM femoral fixation is achieved with a suspension device. ACL tibial graft fixation is achieved with a screw. Afterward, the gracilis is passed under the fascia lata to the tibial entry point. A 6-mm diameter screw is placed from the external cortex into the tibial ALL tunnel. The biomechanical advantage of the double-bundle ACL reconstruction with the biomechanical advantage of the ALL anatomic reconstruction is achieved.

"Y" Graft Double Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Project description:Single-bundle (SB) anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has been a standard procedure. However, residual rotary instability in approximately 20% of the cases (irrespective of the graft choice and the surgical technique) forces the surgeon to improve the biomechanical quality of the reconstruction. In parallel, adjustable suspensory fixation (ASF) devices have arisen. Biomechanics has defined (both anatomical and functional) the anteromedial (AM) and posterolateral (PL) bundles that work synergistically. In the unsymmetrical "anatomic" SB ACL reconstruction, the distribution of the ACL graft fibers (for AM or PL behavior) is not under the control of the surgeon. Furthermore, different sizes of the original footprints (depending on height) suggest the need to customize the graft footprint. This customization is only possible if distances are measured during surgical procedures. We present an inside-out technique for DB ACL reconstruction ("all-inside" also possible). Semitendinosus is folded to obtain a Y-shaped trifurcate configuration graft, distributing their bundles in two different areas. Used as measuring instruments, we used the "offset" guides as measuring instruments, allowing the surgeon to know the distance between the centers of the AM and PL tunnels. It may be carried out by means of common "offset" guides and any marketed ASF devices, while generating customized footprints.ClassificationI: knee; II: ACL.
