    Notes: The aim of the study was to analyse and compare the results after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using patellar tendon autografts in three groups of patients. The groups were determined by knee laxity as measured with the KT-1000 arthrometer at the follow-up two to five years after the reconstruction. Group A (n=15) had an anterior side-to-side laxity difference of 〈−3 mm (i.e. the reconstructed knee was less lax than the contralateral non-injured knee), Group B (n=376) had a difference of ≥−1, but ≤+2 mm and Group C (n=38) had a difference of ≥6 mm. All the patients had a normal contralateral knee. In Group A, 7/15 (47%) patients and, in Group B, 82/375 (22%) patients had an extension deficit of ≥5° (P=0.052). The corresponding values in terms of flexion deficit were 8/15 (53%) and 99/375 (26%) respectively (P=0.04) (one missing value in Group B). In Group C, 14/38 (37%) had an extension deficit (P=0.04; Group B vs Group C). Group C displayed worse results than Group B in terms of the Lysholm score and the one-leg-hop test (P=0.001 and P=0.011 respectively). The corresponding comparison between Group A and Group B revealed no significant differences. We conclude that a considerable number of patients showed persisting deficits in range of motion (ROM) after an ACL reconstruction. No major differences were found if they were analysed in subgroups with decreased, near normal or with increased knee laxity. The worst residual functional impairment, as measured with the Lysholm score and one-leg-hop test, was found in the group with increased knee laxity and most ROM deficits in the knees with decreased laxity.

    Evaluation of the reproducibility of the KT-1000 arthrometer (2001)

    Notes: The aim of the study was to examine whether the KT-1000 arthrometer was reliable when it came to distinguishing between a group of patients with a chronic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture and a group of patients without an ACL rupture, and to examine the reproducibility of the examination between two experienced examiners. The aim was also to examine whether the KT-1000 measurements were dependent on whether the patients were awake or under anaesthesia. The study comprised 40 patients: Group A consisted of 20 patients who had a chronic unilateral ACL rupture and Group B consisted of 20 patients who were scheduled for arthroscopy due to knee problems other than an ACL rupture. The KT-1000 examination was performed before surgery by two experienced physiotherapists (PT I and PT II). PT II subsequently performed a retest of the patients under anaesthesia. The mean anterior side-to-side laxity difference between PT I and PT II was 0.2 mm in Group A and 1.8 mm in Group B (n.s., P=0.03). The anterior side-to-side measurements of knee laxity revealed significant differences between Group A and Group B, independent of who the measurements were made by when the patients were awake (PT I P=0.011, PT II P=0.001). However, no significant difference (P=0.063) was found when the patients were under anaesthesia. The interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) between PT I and PT II in Group A was 0.55 (P=0.005) for the anterior side-to-side laxity, while it was 0.60 (P=0.002) in Group B. There were no significant differences within Group A or Group B between the measurements made when people were awake compared with those under anaesthesia. The conclusions of the study were that the KT-1000 arthrometer was able to distinguish a group of patients with an ACL rupture from a group without one. The reproducibility of the KT-1000 measurements of anterior knee laxity between two experienced examiners was considered as fair. Furthermore, the measurements were not dependent on whether the patients were awake or under anaesthesia.

    Functional outcome of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in recreational and competitive athletes (2001)

    Notes: The aim of this study was to compare the outcome after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in recreational and competitive athletes, with a minimum follow-up of two years. Forty-nine patients (24 males and 25 females) who, at the time of the index injury, were classified as recreational athletes (Tegner level 2–5) were compared with 226 patients (61 females and 165 males) who, at the time of the index injury, were classified as competitive athletes (Tegner level 9–10). At the follow-up, no significant differences were found between the study groups in terms of the Lysholm score, IKDC evaluation system, one-leg-hop test, KT-1000 laxity measurements, anterior knee pain and the patients’ subjective evaluation of the results. However, the competitive athletes displayed a significantly higher reduction in Tegner activity level than the recreational athletes. The functional and objective results after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction were comparable for the recreational and competitive athletes. We, therefore, conclude that anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction could be recommended for recreational athletes as well as competitive athletes.

    Notes: Seventy-eight patients (82 shoulders) with symptomatic, recurrent anterior post-traumatic shoulder instability and Bankart lesions were operated on with bioabsorbable tacks (Suretac® fixators). All the patients were followed by an independent observer, with a median follow-up period of 27 (21–63) months. The recurrence rate was 8/82 (10%). The median Rowe score was 93 (37–100) points. The median Constant score for the index shoulders was 90 (34–100) points, compared with 93 (80–100) points for 59 non-operated healthy shoulders from the same cohort (P=0.03). The external rotation in abduction was 93 (50–135)° compared with 105 (75–145)° for the control shoulders (P=0.0018). Arthroscopic shoulder stabilization using bioabsorbable Suretac® fixators appears to produce reliable results if used in patients with post-traumatic shoulder instability and a Bankart lesion.
