Abstract

To determine if patients who delayed anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction until a convenient time regained quadriceps muscle strength allowing them to return to sports participation at a different rate than patients who had early surgery for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, we studied 143 patients who had the same surgical procedure and postoperative rehabilitation program. Group I delayed surgery at a mean of 40 days after injury; Group II had early surgery at a mean of 11 days after injury. Statistically, Group I patients had significantly better mean quadriceps muscle strength at 2 months (P = 0.017) and at 4 months (P = 0.0055) postoperatively. At least 65% quadriceps muscle strength was achieved by 40 of the 50 patients (80%) tested in Group I at 2 months, allowing the patients to progress to sport-specific rehabilitation. Only 35 of the 66 patients (53%) tested in Group II were able to progress toward sports activities at 2 months. By 6 months, 29 of the 40 patients (73%) tested in Group I compared with 27 of the 58 patients (47%) tested in Group II had 80% quadriceps muscle strength. This study demonstrates that the return of quadriceps muscle strength was faster for our patients who delayed anterior cruci...Continue Reading

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
