Clinical Outcome of Remnant‐Preserving and I.D.E.A.L. Femoral Tunnel Technique for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Objective To assess the clinical results of the remnant‐preserving and I.D.E.A.L. femoral tunnel technique in the arthroscopic treatment of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. Methods This was a retrospective single‐center, single‐surgeon study reviewing data from November 2016 to March 2019....

Description
Summary:Objective To assess the clinical results of the remnant‐preserving and I.D.E.A.L. femoral tunnel technique in the arthroscopic treatment of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. Methods This was a retrospective single‐center, single‐surgeon study reviewing data from November 2016 to March 2019. Based on our inclusion/exclusion criteria, a total of 31 patients (18 males, 13 females; mean age, 23.6 years) who underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction with the remnant preservation and I.D.E.A.L. femoral tunnel technique were recruited and had a minimum follow‐up of 12 months. Clinical data and status of knee stability were recorded. The International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Lysholm score, and Tegner activity scale were collected both preoperatively and at a minimum of 1‐year follow‐up. Results Statistically significant differences were detected between the preoperative and postoperative values for Lachman test and pivot‐shift test (P
