Background- Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common in active individuals and often lead to knee instability and functional limitations. While arthroscopic ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is the standard treatment, residual rotational instability remains a concern. Lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LEAT) has been proposed as an adjunct to ACLR to enhance stability and reduce graft failure. This study aimed to evaluate the functional outcomes of ACLR combined with LEAT in ACL injury patients.
Methods- A prospective observational study was conducted on 40 patients undergoing ACLR with LEAT. Functional outcomes were assessed using the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Lysholm knee scoring scale, and Tegner activity level score at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months. Knee stability was evaluated using the Lachman and pivot shift tests. Return-to-sport rates and graft failure were also analyzed.
Results - Significant improvements were observed in functional scores at 6 and 12 months postoperatively. Lachman and pivot shift test positivity decreased from 85% and 75% preoperatively to 10% and 8%, respectively. Return-to-sport rate was 78%, and graft failure occurred in 5% of cases.
Conclusion- ACLR combined with LEAT provides improved knee stability, functional outcomes, and lower graft failure rates, making it a valuable approach for ACL injuries.
