Revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction:Return to sports at a minimum 5-year follow-up

lNTRODUCTlON

Consequent to a substantial increase in the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures,revision ACL reconstruction (ACLR) has also suffered an increase[1]. The ACL re-rupture rate is between 4% to 6%,with the event occurring in the first 2 years in more than half of the cases[2-4]. The rate of one-third of ACL ruptures is around 13% to 19% according to different publications[5-7]. In addition,these patients also present an increased risk of developing early arthritis[8].

Historically,return to sports (RTS) is defined as the return to the pre-injury activity in one or two seasons,at the same sporting level[9]. A recently published consensus described continuous RTS in three stages:return to participation,RTS and return to previous performance. Thus,return to participation refers to the return to training or to a lower sporting level than the one practiced by the patient previously. RTS refers to the return to the sport previously performed,although not at the desired level. Return to previous performance refers to the return to the same level or a higher level than before the injury[10].

Between 43% and 75% of patients who undergo primary ACL surgery RTS[11-15]. However,after a revision ACLR the reported rates of RTS are very variable[16]. Causes of non-RTS are multifactorial and include age,sex,psychological factors,type of sport,number of previous surgeries,time lapse between surgeries and graft choice[11-26]. Few publications report sports return rates after revision ACLR,both in the medium and long term,and they vary from 56% to 100%[27-31]. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the rate of RTS in patients with revision ACLR after 5 years of surgery. The secondary purpose was to report the functional outcomes.

MATERlALS AND METHODS

Study group

Among the limitations of our retrospective study,there was no control group of patients with high sports performance nor a numerical scale detailing the level of RTS practice,being this a subjective response of patients. No pre- and postoperative strength or resistance test was performed to determine the “l(fā)evel of muscle strength at their return.” The series was a heterogeneous group of patients in terms of age and type of sport performed. Although the size of the series is close to those reported in international literature,the number is small. The strength of the study is that it is a case series operated in a single institution with a 5-year follow-up after revision ACLR.

Patients with multiligament injuries (more than two ligaments injured at the same time),second ACL revision and patients with osteotomies at time of revision ACLR surgery were excluded (Table 1).

Surgical technique

A single stage revision ACLR was performed in the whole series. A diagnostic arthroscopy was performed in every case,and if necessary associated meniscal and cartilage lesions were treated. In 5 patients,allografts were used. The fixation technique was with 2 titanium screws for bone tendon bone,and in cases of hamstrings or anterior tibial allograft; fixation was performed with a cortical button in the femur and a biocomposite interferential screw in the tibia.

Postoperative rehabilitation

All patients entered the same rehabilitation protocol with rearrangements for individual needs. Partial loading was allowed for the first 3 wk. Passive flexion and extension range of motion were carried out. In special cases with complex meniscal sutures or cartilage treatment with mosaicoplasty,full loading was delayed until week 6. From the 4

month onwards,low impact workout exercises and progressive muscle strengthening were started. RTS was allowed after 10 mo depending on the sport practiced prior to the revision ACLR and based on an evaluation by our rehabilitation team.

So they sent for Sophy, and she was takeninto the house to reside with them, and her presence there was a greatadvantage. Mamma-in-law acknowledged that Sophy was not only aclever housewife, but well-informed and accomplished38, though thatcould hardly be expected in a person of her limited means. She wasalso a generous-hearted, faithful girl; she showed that thoroughlywhile Kaela lay sick, fading away. When the casket is everything,the casket should be strong, or else all is over. And all was overwith the casket, for Kaela died.

Evaluation

Assessment was performed by a single evaluator in this study. Age,sex,follow-up time,injury mechanism prior to revision ACLR,time between primary surgery and re-rupture,time between revision ACLR and RTS,technique used in both primary surgery and revision ACLR and associated procedures were recorded.

All patients were asked about the type and level of sport practiced,the motivation to RTS and the expectation of returning to sport in three instances:prior to the first ACL reconstruction surgery,after primary surgery and after revision ACLR and RTS. RTS activity was considered to be the return to their sport prior to the last injury at the same level or below the previous level. Motivation was classified as:very important,important,moderately important,minimally important or not important. The expectation regarding RTS was classified as:return to the same sport level,return to a lower level or not returning to the same sport. The number of sports practices per week before and after the revision ACLR was recorded.

Using the Tegner score,the type of sport was classified into high impact,moderate and low impact,according to the classification published in 2015 by the American Heart Association[32]; high impact was considered those with Tegner greater or equal to 7,moderate impact with Tegner between 4 to 6 and low impact with Tegner between 1 to 3. Lysholm and International Knee Documentation Committee Knee (IKDC) scores were used prior to the revision ACLR and at the last follow-up. For an objective assessment,the KT-1000 arthrometer (Medmetric Corp) was used at the last follow-up.

We defined failure of revision ACLR surgery as ACL re-rupture,whether traumatic or atraumatic,associated with positive pivot shift and a difference in arthrometry with KT-1000 greater than or equal to 5 mm requiring new surgery.

RESULTS

A total of 87 revision ACLR were performed in the study period:16 were excluded because of multiligamentary lesions,8 were second revisions,and 10 were associated with osteotomy. Of the 53 patients who met the inclusion criteria,12 patients were lost during follow-up. The series consisted of 41 patients with a median follow-up of 70 mo (IQR:58.0-81.0) (Figure 1). Thirty-nine patients were male with a median age of 29 years (IQR:24.0-36.0). Table 1 shows the demographic data.

Surgical data

A total of 27 (65.8%) patients had concomitant meniscal lesions. The medial meniscus was more frequently injured (

= 26); 20 (77.0%) were treated with meniscectomy,6 (19.0%) with repair and 1 (4.0%) with meniscal transplantation. Lateral meniscus was injured in 14 patients; all were treated with partial meniscectomy. Chondral lesions were found in 5 (12.0%) patients; 3 (60.0%) were treated with microfractures and 2 (40.0%) with chondroplasty (Table 2).

RTS

Thirty-nine percent of the cohort returned at the same level compared to the pre-injury period. Sixty-one percent returned at a lower level. Sixty-three percent categorized the sport as very important and 37.0%as important. One patient (2.4%) failed with a recurrent torn ACL.

After primary ACL surgery,13 (31.0%) returned to the same level of sport,26 (64.0%) to a lower level and 2 (5.0%) did not RTS. The rate of RTS for revision ACLR was 16 (39.0%) returning to the same level of sport and 25 (61.0%) to a lower level (Table 3). The time to RTS for both post-primary surgery and revision ACLR was 13 mo (IQR 11.0-15.0) (Figure 3).

Eighty percent (12/15) of patients without associated procedures and 73.0% (19/26) of patients with associated procedures returned to the same sports level,with no statistically significant differences (

= 0.61). Similarly,we found no association (

＞ 0.44) between the associated procedures performed at the time of revision ACLR surgery and the type of sport.

Regarding impact activity after revision surgery,it is interesting to note that 13.0%[7] modified their sports practice. When classifying sports according to impact based on Tegner,we recorded a 40.0% decrease from high impact to moderate impact activity and a 2.2% decrease from moderate to low impact after 5 years of follow-up after revision ACLR (Table 4) (Figure 2). Of those who played soccer,1 patient changed to tennis,1 to functional training and 1 to running. Of those who performed running,1 began to perform a pivoting activity (soccer) and the other 2 modified it to a low-impact activity (bicycle and yoga). This result was not modified for patients older than 40 years,in contrast to what it may be thought that in older patients (older than 40 years) the chances of modifying or abandoning sport is higher. The frequency with which they practiced sports in a week before and after the revision ACLR was maintained over time,being an average of twice a week (range 1-3); 26 (63.0%) patients practiced activities twice a week before the revision ACLR and 21 (51.0%) post-surgery.

When assessing motivation,26 (63.0%) classified it as very important and 15 (37.0%) as important. When the patients were asked about their expectations regarding the RTS after their primary ACL surgery,33 (80.0%) patients described their intention to return to the same sports level and 8 (20.0%) to return to a lower level. Regarding their expectation after revision ACLR surgery,16 (39.0%) patients intended to return to the same level and 25 (61.0%) to a lower level (Table 3).

Clinical evaluation

According to the American Heart Association’s classification in relation to Tegner score,a 40.0% decrease in impact activities at 5 years postoperatively was registered. Tegner score prior to primary ACL surgery showed that 80.5% performed recreational physical activity,9.8% performed their usual light work and 9.8% performed competitive sports activity. After primary ACL surgery,58.5% performed their usual work,36.6% performed recreational physical activity and 4.9% performed competitive sports activity. Post revision ACLR,53.7% performed recreational physical activity,41.5% performed their usual work/task and 4.9% performed competitive sports activity.

Prior to revision ACLR surgery the Lysholm score was good in 1.9% of the series,35.8% were fair,and 62.3% were poor. For postoperative revision ACLR the score was excellent in 31.7% of the series,good in 56.1%,fair in 7.3% fair and poor in 4.9%. The Tegner,Lysholm and IKDC scores are summarized in Table 5. With the differential KT-1000 arthrometer the median values prior to ACL revision were 5 mm (IQR:4.0-6.0) and at last follow-up 3 mm (IQR:1.5-4.0). Finally,1 patient had a failure after ACL revision surgery (2.4%) at 72 mo postoperatively.

The most difficult problem for the overseas students to overcome might be loneliness. There is a popular dialogue in our class. Why are the Asian students so slim? Because we are too homesick（） . Homesickness is always with me, particularly during the time of some Chinese traditional festivals. Actually most of the time my life of studying abroad is really boring. For one thing, I don t have many friends or any relatives in a foreign country. For the other, it is quite hard for an overseas student to afford the entertainments and transportation because the living expenses are very expensive.

DlSCUSSlON

The main finding of this study was that all patients returned to their sports practice after revision ACLR,61.0% at a lower level and 39.0% at the same level prior to revision ACLR surgery. The rate of return to full sport,according to a systematic review of 48 studies with 5770 patients,is 82% in patients with primary ACL surgery. Only 63% returned to the same pre-injury sport,but 44% were able to do so at a competitive level[19]. Although the literature is more limited for RTS in revision ACLR surgery,a systematic review of 23 studies with a total of 1090 patients indicated that 85% of patients returned to sport,53% to their previous sport and 51% to a competitive level[16]. According to another systematic review,the rate of RTS in patients with revision ACLR surgery ranged from 56% to 100%[33],similar to our series.

A retrospective and observational study was performed to describe return to sport of an amateur case series of patients. The entire cohort was asked about motivation,expectation,intensity,frequency and level of return to sport after a 5-year follow-up after revision ACLR.

I didn t understand the words, nor did most of us. For we were not the German Afrikakorps but the British Eighth Army---the Desert Rats. Yet we were captivated by this mysterious voice that somehow reached deep into our thoughts and memories.

But on Sundays, after the morning chores were done, he put on his gray suit and hat. Grandma wore her wine-colored dress and the ivory beads4, and they went to church. There was little other social life. Grandpa and Grandma were quiet, peaceful, unemotional people who every day did what they had to do. He was my grandpa -- he had been for 35 years. It was hard to picture him in any other role.

In our series,the time to RTS was the same (13 mo) with no significant differences found when dividing the series into those older than 25 years and those younger than 25 years as well as when differentiating between sex. The median time between ACL re-rupture and revision ACLR was 21 mo (IQR:3.0-24.0). For patients who took more than 1 year to undergo a revision ACLR,the RTS was also at 13 mo on average (7 to 26) with no significant differences with the overall rate of sports return (

= 0.64).

Focusing on the graft choice,according to a meta-analysis of 32 studies comparing hamstring and bone tendon bone for revision surgeries,an increase in the IKDC,Lysholm and Tegner scores and a decrease in complications and reoperations was observed in favor of hamstrings[40]. In contrast to this,the authors of the study recommended that the graft choice should be based on the circumstances of each patient,the technique preferred by each surgeon,the tunnel widening,the type of graft previously used and the possible availability of allografts and not on the rate of RTS according to the type of graft[40]. All patients in our series were treated with autografts with the exception of 5 patients where allografts were used. We did not find significant differences in the time to return in patients where an allograft was used,being 13 mo for both groups. The preference of the authors of this study is to use an autograft from the same injured knee. This is due to the fact that,according to literature,series of patients with revision surgeries in which an autograft was used showed faster rates of RTS in comparison with those in which allografts were used[38,39]. The use of contralateral hamstring tendons for revision ACLR surgeries presented similar subjective and objective rates at 5.2 years of follow-up compared to revision surgeries in which patellar or Achilles tendon allograft was used[39]. In our series we do not have patients operated with contralateral knee grafts.

The direction of future research must be to compare return to sport of professional elite patients against amateur patients.

Several authors recommend that when evaluating series to assess the RTS the Lysholm score should be used together with the Tegner score to be able to more effectively evaluate the sports activity[34]. In our series,Lysholm score after revision ACLR increased by 30.0% for excellent results considered as greater than 95 points (0% preoperative to 31% postoperative) and decreased by 50.0% for poor results (62% preoperative to 4.9% postoperative).

For the Tegner scale we observed a decrease of 1.7 points between preoperative primary ACL surgery and postoperative revision ACLR (

= 0.002) showing the decrease in impact activity between primary surgery and revision ACLR. When comparing our series with the literature for both the Lysholm,Tegner and IKDC scores we found results that are close to the mean (Table 6).

When evaluating the expectation of patients regarding their intention to RTS after primary ACL surgery,80.0% of our series intended to return to the same sport level,while 39.0% reported this intention prior to revision surgery (Tables 7-10 case examples). This 40.0% decrease in the expectation of RTS is consistent with the literature as shown by a study of 675 patients with a return expectation after primary surgery at 1 year of 84% and 63% for revision ACLR surgeries (

＜ 0.001 and

= 0.08,respectively). A multivariate logistic regression showed two determinant factors for abandoning sports practice,which were having suffered a revision ACLR (

＜ 0.0001) and being female (

= 0.02). In our series,all patients returned to sports,and we did not obtain representative casuistry to make a comparison between sexes[34].

The association between chondral and meniscal lesions showed poor functional results in patients with revision ACLR surgery; the association of chondral lesions at the time of revision surgery showed lower values according to the Lysholm score in comparison with patients who did not present it. In the same way,patients who presented this lesion modified their intensity in RTS[34-37]. Another study showed poor results in Marx,Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score-quality of life and IKDC activity scores after revision ACLR surgery in patients with chondral lesions and low scores for the Marx and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score-quality of life scores in patients with medial meniscus lesions[29]. The level of RTS practice was equal or lower in patients who had associated injuries

patients who did not have associated injuries at the time of revision ACLR surgery. Twelve patients returned to the same level; 3 patients returned to a lower level out of a total of 15 patients who underwent an associated procedure. In our series,80.0% (12/15) of the patients without associated procedures and 73.0% (19/26) of the patients with associated procedures returned to the same sports level,with no statistically significant differences (

= 0.61).

Limitations

This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of our hospital. A retrospective study was performed including all patients who underwent a revision ACLR between 2010 and 2016. The inclusion criteria were patients with traumatic or atraumatic knee instability with a displacement equal to or larger than 5 mm anteroposterior compared to the contralateral knee measured with the KT-1000 arthrometer after primary ACL surgery and older than 18 years.

CONCLUSlON

Five years after a revision ACLR,39.0% of patients returned to the same level of sport as before revision ACLR surgery and 61.0% to a lower level. The 13.2% (

= 7) of the series who changed their sports practice was a 40.0% decrease of high impact activity at the time of return. These data could be used to advise patients on the level and timing of sports return.

Research background

Between 43% and 75% of patients who undergo primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery return to sport activity. However,after a revision ACL reconstruction (ACLR) rate of return to sport are variable. Few publications report return to sports incidence between 56% to 100% after revision ACLR.Five-year minimum follow-up after revision ACLR is a good mid/long-term period evaluation to report return to sport of a case series patients.

She was always behind with the keys in a Man locks put in jail, go to work before their own. Evening after work, women always hastily2 rushes home, only because the house keys from her run, she opened the door for a Man.

Research motivation

Return to sports is a frequent question from patients during the first consultation. We believe this research could help other knee surgeons answer these types of questions. Motivation and expectation must be asked by surgeons during the consultation so as to give the patient a more detailed and realistic response to that question.

Research objectives

The objective was to report functional clinical outcomes and return to sport at a mid/long-term period after revision ACLR.

The Caliph and his Vizier inspected everything, and the Caliph chose some handsome pistols for himself and Mansor, and a jewelled comb for the Vizier s wife

Research methods

There are several factors that influence RTS:social,psychological and demographic factors. Age and sex are important factors. Men have a 10% higher rate of return than women,and young people (＜ 25 years) have a rate higher than 30% compared to adult patients[19,20,31,33]. The longer the time between ACL re-rupture and revision surgery,the lower the rates of RTS as well as an increase in associated injuries as revision surgery is delayed[19]. In the same way,the graft choice could be a determining factor in the RTS; however,it has not been studied in depth[27].

Research results

Prior to the first injury,35 (85.0%) patients practiced high impact activities,5 (12.0%) moderate and 1 (3.0%) low impact. After the first ACL surgery,26 (63.0%) patients practiced high impact,12 (29.0%) moderate and 3 (8.0%) low impact; 5 years after ACL revision,19 (46.0%) continued to perform high impact,20 (49.0%) moderate and 2 (5.0%) low impact (Figure 2). Prior to revision ACLR the patients practiced:soccer (24,59.0%),running (9,22.0%),gym (3,7.0%),rugby (2,5.0%),tennis (1,2.0%),cycling (1,2.0%) and other (1,2.0%) other.

Research conclusions

Almost 40.0% of patients returned to their pre-injury sport level and 60.0% to a lower level after 5 years of follow-up after revision ACLR.
