Résumé
Purpose
To evaluate midterm functional outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair with suture augmentation and to determine whether concomitant injuries influence patient-reported outcomes.
Methods
This retrospective single-center cohort study included patients undergoing arthroscopic ACL repair with suture augmentation between January 2017 and March 2019. Eligible patients had proximal ACL tears (Sherman type I-II) with adequate tissue quality at a minimum 6-year follow-up. Patient-reported outcome measures included the International Knee Documentation Committee, Lysholm score, Tegner activity score, and forgotten joint score. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of postoperative outcomes. Clinically meaningful improvement was assessed using the minimal clinically important difference.
