Cruciate Ligament Rupture, Knee Arthritis Osteoarthritis
Conditions
Brief summary
This study aims to collect datas about patient who underwent simultaneous monocompartimental knee replacement and anterior cruciate ligament recontruction
Detailed description
The aim is to understand if anterior cruciate ligament recontruction is mandatory in case of monocompartimental knee replacement, given the fact that anterior stability could be compromised at first in ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) deficient knees. Current datas in literature are not sufficient to establish if ACL must always be recontructed or if only in some cases

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Tegner-Lysholm score | 12 months after surgery | The Tegner Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale is a questionnaire used to assess knee function and symptoms, particularly in the context of ligament injuries of the knee. It evaluates eight categories: pain, swelling, instability, locking, limp, stair climbing, squatting, and need for support. Each category is scored, and the total score, out of 100, reflects overall knee function. Higher scores indicate better knee function. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SF-36 | 12 months after surgery | It consists of 36 questions assessing the patient's general health, divided into eight domains: physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, emotional role, and mental health. The score ranges from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 100 and has been validated in Italian. |
| Ucla | 12 months after surgery | It is a questionnaire used to define activity levels after knee arthroplasty. It is patient-reported and provides a score ranging from 1 to 10. It has also been validated in Italian. |
| Return to Sport | 12 months after surgery | Number of months elapsed before returning to sports activity (if resumed). Sports activities are classified according to Veil et al. into low-intensity, potentially low-intensity, intermediate-intensity, and high-intensity categories. |
| New KSS | 12 months after surgery | A self-administered knee function and outcome assessment test. Validation in Italian is still ongoing. |
| Vas | 12 months after surgery | Subjective pain assessment scale |
| KT-1000 | 12 months after surgery | An objective tool for assessing anteroposterior knee laxity |
| ROM | 12 months after surgery | Active and passive range of motion |
