Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - Age between 18 and 50 years - A proven ACL rupture by means of arthroscopy or MRI scan
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - a history of previous surgery on the ipsilateral knee - re-rupture of the ipsilateral ACL graft - associated ligamentous injuries or meniscal tear of the ipsilateral knee - unhealthy contralateral knee - contra-indications for MRI - preference for one of the two surgical techniques and/or orthopaedic surgeon
Design outcomes
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Differences in functional and clinical outcomes between the AMP an TT ACL reconstruction technique will be assessed by means of the standardized physical examination and recorded by the use of the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Knee Examination Form. Differences in patient-oriented outcomes between the AMP an TT ACL reconstruction technique will be assessed by the use of the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS). Additionally, differences between MRI SIR assessment with the current MRI protocol (PDWI and PDWI SPAIR imaging protocol) and the additional T2*WI gradient echo protocol will be assessed. | — |
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objective of this study is to conduct a randomised controlled trial to determine differences in outcomes of both the anteromedial portal (AMP) and transtibial (TT) ACL reconstruction technique by means of the MRI SIR of the ACL graft. | — |
