Résumé de l'étude

The study aims to compare two different surgical techniques for the reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in arthroscopy, both performed in normal clinical practice. The reconstruction procedure involves replacing the injured ACL with a portion of tendons taken from two thigh muscles of the same operated patient. These tendons (referred to as semitendinosus and gracilis) are used as a graft, meaning they are taken from the thigh muscle and transferred to the knee for ligament reconstruction. This study intends to evaluate whether the reconstruction of the ACL performed while maintaining the insertion of the tendons on the tibia improves the transformation process of the tendon used as a graft into the new ligament and its positioning within the knee structure, compared to the reconstruction of the ACL performed by detaching the tendons from their insertion. Furthermore, it will be assessed whether this improvement is also associated with a better clinical and functional outcome.

(BASEC)

Intervention étudiée

1. The surgeon harvests the tendons by completely detaching them from their insertion point on the tibia (bone of the leg). 2. The surgeon harvests the tendons while maintaining their insertion on the tibia, meaning he uses them for reconstruction without detaching them from the bone.
