Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Planned tunnel position versus actual achieved tunnel position of the ACL transplant (by CT)
Secondary outcome
1. difference in change in IKDC
2. difference in change in KOOS
3. difference in change in knee pain (VAS for pain)
4. difference in change in knee complaints (Lysholm score)
5. difference in change in sport activity (Tegner score)
6. difference in change in objective instability of the knee (KT1000)
7. difference in change in objective muscle strenght (Biodex)
8. difference satisfaction of the treatment
Background summary
The most common reason for failure after an ACL reconstruction is a malposition of the new ACL transplant due to a malposition of the tibial tunnel and/ or femoral tunnel.
Since one year in the Erasmus MC Computer-assisted surgery (CAS) has become established for total knee replacement. There are less malpositions following CAS than after implantation by the conventional technique. Nowadays it’s possible to use CAS for ACL reconstruction. The main aim of this study is to compare the results of the ACL reconstruction following CAS with a conventional ACL reconstruction.
Study objective
An ACL reconstruction can take place more accurate with Computer Assisted Surgery than a conventional arthroscopic reconstruction with regard to tunnel position
Intervention
Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction, randomised in 45 conventional (usual care), and 45 CAS.
