Abstract
MATERIAL AND METHODS: In a prospective study we examined 32 athletes witharthroscopic implantation of a double loop of semitendinosus tendon for intra-articular anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction combined with an iliotibial band tenodesis for extra-articular augmentation. They were compared to 26 athletes operated by isolated intra-articular semitendinosus reconstruction. RESULTS: The Lysholm-Score, clinical and radiological findings, KT-1000 stability values and isokinetic tests were evaluated monthly over a year. The data suggests that while both procedures under standardized rehabilitation conditions may obtain excellent functional results, adding the iliotibial band tenodesis to an intra-articular reconstruction significantly improves stability and muscular strength. Patients were able to resume all activities without a pivot shift following combined intra- and extra-articular stabilization.
