Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To summarize our experience and mid-term results of reconstruction with Iliotibial tract grafts for multiple ligament injuries. METHODS: Between July 1997 and December 2003, multiple ligament injuries of 15 patients were reconstructed with Iliotibial tract grafts in arthroscopy. There were 5 women and 10 men. The mean age at the time of the surgery was 30.5 years (range 25-43 years). There were 7 cases who were injured with combined ACL rupture and the PCL, and 8 cases were with disruption of both the ACL and the PCL, combined with damage of the medial collateral ligament. RESULTS: Fifteen patients were followed up for a mean of 7.5 years (range 6-12 years). The overall mean postoperative Lysholm score was 84.3 ± 5.7. At final IKDC qualification, 60.0 % of the knees were normal or nearly normal. The overall average Tegner activity score decreased significantly at the re-examination compared to the activity score before accident (3.6 ± 0.5 vs. 5.1 ± 0.6). CONCLUSIONS: Reconstruction with Iliotibial tract grafts in arthroscopy was a reliable treatment for multiple ligament injuries.
