By Yusoff BAHM, Hamid MHB, Mohamad N and 5 others.
Abstract
Background
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) remains a cornerstone of orthopedic sports medicine, yet graft failure rates are high despite advances in surgical techniques. The Modified UKM Internal Bracing (MUIB) technique combines all-inside ACLR with internal suture augmentation, potentially offering enhanced graft protection and improved outcomes.
Methods
This retrospective cohort study evaluated 63 patients who underwent isolated primary all-inside ACLR using the MUIB technique (19 allograft, 44 autograft) between 2020 and 2024. Outcome measures included International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scores, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain scores, graft failure rates, Single Leg Hop Test (SLHT) performance, and complication profiles at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively.
