Introduction Incidence ~400,000 ACL reconstructions / year Mechanism is a non-contact pivoting injury video showing ACL tear in elite athlete Often associated with a meniscal tear lateral meniscal tears in 54% of acute ACL tears Chronic ACL deficient knees associated with chondral injuries complex unrepairable meniscal tears relation with arthritis is controversial Sex-related differences ACL injury more common in female athlete (4.5:1 ratio) due to landing biomechanics and neuromuscular activation patterns (quadriceps dominant) play the biggest role females get ACL injuries at a younger age than males females get more ACL injuries on the supporting leg (males get more ACL injuries on the kicking leg) table of differences Anatomy ACL Function provides 85% of the stability to prevent anterior translation of the tibia relative to the femur acts as a secondary restraint to tibial rotation and varus/valgus rotation ACL Anatomy 32mm length x 7-12mm width in size anteromedial bundle more isometric tight throughout knee ROM, but tightest in flexion primarily responsible for restraining anterior tibial translation (anterior drawer test) posterolateral bundle greater length changes tightest in extension, slack in mid-flexion primarily responsible for rotational stability (pivot shift test) femoral attachment lateral intercondylar ridge demarcates the anterior edge of the ACL bifurcate ridge separates the anteromedial and posterolateral bundle attachment tibial attachment anterior tibia, between intercondylar eminences ACL Blood supply middle geniculate artery ACL Innervation posterior articular nerve ( a branch of tibial nerve) ACL Composition 90% Type I collagen 10% Type III collagen ACL Strength: 2200 N (anterior) Presentation Presentation felt a "pop" pain deep in the knee immediate swelling (70%) / hemarthrosis Physical exam effusion quadricep avoidance gait (does not actively extend knee) Lachman's test most sensitive exam test grading A= firm endpoint, B= no endpoint Grade 1: 3-5 mm translation Grade 2 A/B: 5-10mm translation Grade 3 A/B: > 10mm translation PCL tear may give "false" Lachman due to posterior subluxation Pivot shift extension to flexion: reduces at 20-30° of flexion patient must be completely relaxed (easier to elicit under anesthesia) mimics the actual giving way event KT-1000 useful to quantify anterior laxity measured with the knee in slight flexion and externally rotated 10-30° Imaging Radiographs usually normal Segond fracture (avulsion fracture of the proximal lateral tibia) is pathognomonic for an ACL tear represents bony avulsion by the anterolateral ligament (ALL) associated with ACL tear 75-100% of the time deep sulcus (terminalis) sign depression on the lateral femoral condyle at the terminal sulcus, a junction between the weight bearing tibial articular surface and the patellar articular surface of the femoral condyle. MRI findings of torn ACL sagittal view ACL fibers discontinuity of fibers on T2 abnormal orientation too "flat" compared with intercondylar roof / Blumensaat's line this acute angle is common in chronic cases where ACL scars to the PCL non-visualization of ACL bone bruising in > half of acute ACL tears middle 1/3 of LFC (sulcus terminalis) posterior 1/3 of the lateral tibial plateau subchondral changes on MRI can persist years after injury coronal view discontinuity of fibers (do not reach the femur) fluid against the lateral wall ("empty notch sign") findings of normal ACL fibers steeper than the intercondylar roof continuity of fibers all the way from the tibia to femur Treatment Nonoperative physical therapy & lifestyle modifications low demand patients with decreased laxity increased meniscal/cartilage damage linked to loss of meniscal integrity the frequency of buckling episodes level I and II activity (e.g. jumping, cutting, side-to-side sports, heavy manual labor) Operative ACL reconstruction indications younger, more active patients (reduces the incidence of meniscal or chondral injury) children (strongly consider operative as activity limitation is not realistic) older active patients (age >40 is not a contraindication if high demand athlete) prior ACL reconstruction failure associated injuries MCL injury allow MCL to heal (varus/valgus stability) and then perform ACL reconstruction varus/valgus instability can jeopardize graft meniscal tear perform the meniscal repair at the same time as ACL reconstruction increased meniscal healing rate when repaired at the same time as ACL posterolateral corner injury reconstruct at the same time as ACL or as 1st stage of 2 stage reconstruction outcomes return to play largely influenced by psychological, demographic and functional outcomes ligament repair traditionally has a high failure rate arthroscopic bridge-enhanced ACL repair (BEAR) trial with a bridging scaffold is ongoing revision ACL reconstruction indications failure of prior ACL reconstruction Surgical Techniques Femoral tunnel placement proper placement sagittal plane 1-2 mm rim of bone between the tunnel and posterior cortex of the femur coronal plane the tunnel should be placed on the lateral wall (at 2 (left knee) or 10 (right knee) o'clock position) to create a more horizontal graft - remember 2 and 10 Tibial tunnel placement proper placement sagittal plane the center of tunnel entrance into joint should be 10-11mm in front of the anterior border of PCL insertion, 6mm anterior to the median eminence, 9mm posterior to the inter-meniscal ligament coronal plane tunnel trajectory of < 75° from horizontal obtain by moving tibial starting point halfway between tibial tubercle and a posterior medial edge of the tibia. Graft placement graft preconditioning can reduce stress relaxation up to 50% graft tensioning graft tensioning at 20N or 40N had no clinical outcome effects in a level 1 study fix the graft in 20-30° of flexion High tibial osteotomy limb malalignment in both the coronal and sagittal plane must be addressed before or at the same time as ligament reconstruction Revision ACL reconstruction technique use high strength grafts (quad tendon, hamstring, allograft) use dual fixation (suspension + interference screws) bone grafting (tunnel dilation, decreased bone stock, staged) re-harvesting BTB is contraindicated postoperative conservative rehab Graft Selection Bone-patellar-bone autograft advantages of autograft using patient's own tissue most common source of graft faster incorporation less immune reaction no chance of acquiring someone else's infection pros and cons of bone-patella-bone the longest history of use and considered the "gold standard" bone to bone healing ability to rigidly fix the joint line (screws) the highest incidence of anterior knee pain (up to 10-30%) maximum load to failure is 2600 Newtons (intact ACL is 1725 Newtons) complications patella fracture (usually postop during rehab), patellar tendon rupture re-rupture associated with age < 20 years and graft size < 8mm Quadruple hamstring autograft technique may be taken from contralateral side in revision situation when allograft is not desirable or available pros and cons smaller incision, less perioperative pain, less anterior knee pain fixation strength may be less than Bone-PT-Bone maximum load to failure is approximately 4000 Newtons decreased peak flexion strength at 3 years compared to Bone-PT-Bone concern about hamstring weakness in female athletes leading to increased risk of re-rupture complications "windshield wiper" effect (suspensory fixation away from joint line causes tunnel abrasion and expansion with flexion/extension of knee) residual hamstring weakness Allograft pros & cons useful in revisions longer incorporation time risk of disease transmission (HIV is < 1:1 million, hepatitis is even greater) increased risk of re-rupture in young athletes odds of graft re-rupture are 4.3 x higher in allograft for athletes aged 10-19 graft processing supercritical CO2: decreases the structural and mechanical properties radiation: > 3 Mrads is required to kill HIV (this, however, decreases the structural and mechanical properties) 2-2.8 Mrad decreases stiffness by 30% 1-1.2 Mrad decreases stiffness by 20% deep freezing: destroys cells but does not affect the strength of the graft 4% chlorhexidine gluconate: destroys cells but does not affect the strength of the graft Quadriceps tendon autograft taken with patella bone plug much less common Pediatric Considerations Physis < 14 yrs with open physis the onset of menarche is the best determinant of skeletal maturity in females Treatment Nonoperative indications compliant, low demand patient with no additional intra-articular pathologies partial ACL tear (60% of adolescents have partial tears) with near normal Lachman and pivot shift Surgery indications complete ACL tear Techniques intra-articular physis-sparing (all intra-epiphyseal) transphyseal (males ≤13-16, females ≤ 12-14) partial transphyseal leave either distal femoral or proximal tibial physis undisturbed no significant difference in growth disturbances between techniques combined intra- and extra-articular (males ≤12, females ≤ 11) autogenous ITB harvested free proximally, left attached distally to Gerdy's tubercle looped through the knee in over the top position passed through the notch and under intermeniscal ligament anteriorly sutured to lateral femoral condyle and proximal tibia adult type reconstruction (males >=16, females >=14) Graft Selection transphyseal soft tissue grafts rarely lead to growth disturbances Instrumentation Factors found to increase physeal injury include: large tunnel diameter (>12mm) is most important 8mm tunnel corresponds to <3% physeal cross-sectional area 12mm tunnel corresponds to >7-9% of physeal cross-sectional area is violated oblique tunnel position interference screw fixation high-speed tunnel reaming lateral extra-articular tenodesis dissection close to the perichondral ring of LaCroix suturing near tibial tubercle Complications physeal disruption without growth disturbance (10%) Rehabilitation Early postoperative immediate aggressive cryotherapy (ice) immediate weight bearing (shown to reduce patellofemoral pain) emphasize early full passive extension (especially if associated with MCL injury or patella dislocation) early rehab focus rehab on exercises that do not place excess stress on graft appropriate rehab eccentric strengthening at 3 weeks has been shown to result in increased quadriceps volume and strength isometric hamstring contractions at any angle isometric quadriceps, or simultaneous quadriceps and hamstrings contraction active knee motion between 35 degrees and 90 degrees of flexion emphasize closed chain (foot planted) exercises avoid isokinetic quadricep strengthening (15-30°) during early rehab open chain quadriceps strengthening Injury prevention female athlete neuromuscular training/plyometrics (jump training) land from jumping in less valgus and more knee flexion increasing hamstring strength to decrease quadriceps dominance ratio skier training teach skiers how to fall ACL bracing no proven efficacy except for ACL-deficient skiers Complications Failure due to Tunnel Malposition overview is the most common cause of ACL failure improper tunnel placement causes failure in 70% femoral tunnel malposition coronal plane vertical femoral tunnel placement cause by starting femoral tunnel at the vertical position in the notch (12 o:clock) as opposed to lateral wall (9 o: clock) will cause continued rotational instability which can be identified on physical exam by a positive pivot shift sagittal plane anterior tunnel placement leads to a knee that is tight in flexion and loose in extension occurs from failure to clear "residents ridge" posterior misplacement (over-the-top) leads to a knee that is lax in flexion and tight in extension tibial tunnel malposition sagittal plane anterior misplacement leads to knee that is tight in flexion with impingement in extension posterior misplacement leads to an ACL that will impinge with the PCL Other cause of failure inadequate graft fixation can be caused by graft-screw divergence >30 degrees missed diagnosis in combined ACL and PLC injuries, failure to treat the PLC will lead to failure of ACL reconstruction overaggressive rehab Infection septic arthritis coagulase negative Staph (S. epidermidis) most common Staph aureus 2nd most common presentation pain, swelling, erythema, and increased WBC at 2-14 days postop treatment perform immediate joint aspiration with gram stain and cultures treatment immediate arthroscopic I&D often can retain graft with multiple I&Ds and antibiotics (6 weeks minimum) graft retention more likely to be successful with S. epidermidis graft retention less likely to be successful with S. aureus Loss of motion & arthrofibrosis preoperative prevention be sure patient has regained full ROM before you operate ("pre-hab") wait until swelling (inflammatory phase) has gone down to reduce the incidence of arthrofibrosis operative prevention proper tunnel placement is critical to have a full range of motion postop prevention aggressive cryotherapy (ice) treatment < 12 weeks, then treat with aggressive PT and serial splinting > 12 weeks, then treat with lysis of adhesions/manipulation under anesthesia Infrapatellar contracture syndrome an uncommon complication following knee surgery or injury which results in knee stiffness the physical exam will show decreased patellar translation Patella Tendon Rupture will see patella alta on the lateral radiograph RSD (complex regional pain syndrome) Patella
