Lets look at some evidence
![Page 11: Sports Knee Surgery ACL Graft Choice](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815df3550346895dcc277c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Allograft
Allograft significantly lower normal stability rates than autograft
Allograft abnormal stability rate 3 times greater than autograft.

Autograft
![Page 13: Sports Knee Surgery ACL Graft Choice](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815df3550346895dcc277c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Hamstrings
• Good Things
• Bad Things
![Page 14: Sports Knee Surgery ACL Graft Choice](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815df3550346895dcc277c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Hamstrings
• Pros– Quick harvest– Reliable– Can use for double bundle– Small incisions– Early rehab not too bad.
![Page 15: Sports Knee Surgery ACL Graft Choice](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815df3550346895dcc277c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Hamstring Graft
• Cons– Subtle hamstring discomfort
– Graft gets weaker intially as revascularises
– Fixation to bone can takes longer than BTB
– Stretches a little more than BTB
– Graft size not predictable
![Page 16: Sports Knee Surgery ACL Graft Choice](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815df3550346895dcc277c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Patella Tendon
• Good Things
• Bad Things
![Page 17: Sports Knee Surgery ACL Graft Choice](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815df3550346895dcc277c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Patella Tendon
• Pros– Bone heals to bone quickly– Stiffer graft (doesn’t seem to stretch
as much)– No hamstring problems– Better if • larger heavier patients and• collision sports• ligament lax individuals• Known Hamstring problems
![Page 18: Sports Knee Surgery ACL Graft Choice](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815df3550346895dcc277c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
BTB graft
• Cons– Arguably anterior knee pain
(Bone graft)– Longer to harvest graft– Larger incisions– uncomfortable initially– Risk of patella fracture and
tendinopathy
![Page 19: Sports Knee Surgery ACL Graft Choice](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815df3550346895dcc277c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Quads Tendon
• Good Things
• Bad Things
![Page 20: Sports Knee Surgery ACL Graft Choice](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815df3550346895dcc277c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Quads Tendon
• Pros– Strong graft– Good for revision graft – May be useful for double bundle– May have less morbidity then Patella and hamstrings
• Cons– Quads weakness– Anterior knee pain– Not commonly used
![Page 21: Sports Knee Surgery ACL Graft Choice](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815df3550346895dcc277c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

• What does the literature tell us.
• Remember there is a lot of poor literature.

Patella vs Hamstrings

What about Quads?
• Currently performing Systematic review.
• No difference to BTB• Quads strength? / • less anterior knee pain ? /

Patient Specific Approach
• Choose graft that matches the patients needs.
• Discuss the pros and cons of each graft.
![Page 26: Sports Knee Surgery ACL Graft Choice](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815df3550346895dcc277c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Artificial Graft
• Have been used for over 30years
• Avoids the donor site morbidity, quicker recovery, cheat biology.
• Problem has been their durability – they have not matched autograft in this regard.

As a result Long rehab that
• Lion opts for LARS 11/5/2010

LARS
• What’s good?
• What’s bad?

History Artificial Grafts
• 1918 silk sutures – failed 3 months
• First graft 1973 - Proplast made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
• Results with this system yielded an average time to breakage of just over 1 year.
![Page 31: Sports Knee Surgery ACL Graft Choice](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815df3550346895dcc277c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Classification of Synthetic Grafts
– Ligament Augmentation Devices • (polypropylene, polyester) • initial strength until revascularisation, • stress shielding of autogenous tissue and
prevented adequate strength.
– Total Prosthetics • permanent replacement with no
revascularisation. • Excellent short-term results, long-term
efficacy results were poor due to wear and ensuing rupture of the prosthesis.
![Page 32: Sports Knee Surgery ACL Graft Choice](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815df3550346895dcc277c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
CARBON FIBRE PROSTHETICS
• Began late 70s• carbon wear particles • coated with collagen and absorbable polymers
• Good Early results• longer term - unacceptable stretching and
complete rupture as major complications.
![Page 33: Sports Knee Surgery ACL Graft Choice](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815df3550346895dcc277c/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
DACRON
• tightly woven polyester strips.
• Early results were good
• however by 4 years about 50% had failed due to stretching of the graft.
![Page 34: Sports Knee Surgery ACL Graft Choice](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815df3550346895dcc277c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
LEEDS-KEIO ARTIFICIAL LIGAMENT
• a polyester mesh• intended as a scaffold for soft
tissue ingrowth• Good early results.
• a large number of long-term graft ruptures despite excellent early results
![Page 35: Sports Knee Surgery ACL Graft Choice](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815df3550346895dcc277c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
KENNEDY LIGAMENT AUGMENTATION DEVICE (LAD) – 1980
• Ligament Augmentation Device (LAD) in 1980.• Idea - protect the autogenous tissue graft
early
• Problem - Stress shielding resulted.
• Later - effusion and synovitis.
![Page 36: Sports Knee Surgery ACL Graft Choice](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815df3550346895dcc277c/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
LIGAMENT ADVANCEDREINFORCEMENT SYSTEM (LARS) ARTIFICIAL LIGAMENT
• polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
• intra-articular segment– Twist– PET Encourage ingrowth
• wear resistance of 22 million of cycles = 10 years of straining use.
![Page 37: Sports Knee Surgery ACL Graft Choice](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815df3550346895dcc277c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Literature on LARS
• One case synovitis reported short term.
• Short term results in a handful of papers are good.
• Fast recovery and return to sport/activity.
• risk of rupture remain and must be addressed through long-term follow-up studies.

• 3 ruptures of 159• 1 synovitis

Longest Follow-up LARS• ACL Reconstruction Using Artificial Ligament:
Five Years Follow Up
• S.I.O.T. 2007; 33(suppl.1) : 8238-8242G. Cerulli et at.
25 patients older than 40 - Lars® artificial ligaments at a five-years follow-up with very good results.
![Page 43: Sports Knee Surgery ACL Graft Choice](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815df3550346895dcc277c/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Dr Nicolas Duval using LARS since 1993
• Best results are in early ACL repair augmented by LARS
In older patients (more than 50) I use the LARS in any condition because of the low morbidity and easy rehab.
![Page 44: Sports Knee Surgery ACL Graft Choice](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815df3550346895dcc277c/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Why is rehab “Faster”
• No Donor site Morbidity
• Graft not going to weaken early.
![Page 45: Sports Knee Surgery ACL Graft Choice](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815df3550346895dcc277c/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
LARS Indications
• Sportsmen who have acute injury require fast recovery for particular target time AND prepared to take the risks possible long term failure.
• Older patients with less demands however functional instability and want less involved rehab.

Patient Specific Approach• Choose graft that matches the patients
needs.• Discuss the pros and cons of each graft.
![Page 47: Sports Knee Surgery ACL Graft Choice](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815df3550346895dcc277c/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
• LARS concept is good but not quite right
![Page 48: Sports Knee Surgery ACL Graft Choice](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815df3550346895dcc277c/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
The future – Scaffolds and Growth Factors with Repair.
• tissue engineering techniques
– Grafts that regenerate a mechanically robust and natural ACL
– cell-specific growth factors that influencing the maturation and healing response of ligament tissue will also be available.
