Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: we expect to obtain the Lysholm and IKDC (International Knee Documentation Committee) scores preoperatively and at 24 months; evaluate the Lachman test (grading from 0 to 3+); evaluate the pivot-shift test (grading from 0 to 3+); evaluate postoperative complications; evaluate the rate of return to sports; check the patient's satisfaction level (scale from 0 to 10); symptoms in the graft donor area (foot and ankle); evaluate the AOFAS (American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society) and FADI (Foot and Ankle Disability Index) scores preoperatively and at 24 months;Outcome found 1: Mean Lysholm score improved from 71.5 ± 11.2 to 98.5 ± 2.0 (? +27.0, p < 0.001), and IKDC from 73.0 ± 10.1 to 98.5 ± 1.9 (? +25.6, p < 0.001). VAS (Analog Visual Scale) pain decreased from 5.93 ± 2.89 to 0.43 ± 0.62 (? -5.51, p < 0.001). AOFAS (American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society) scores remained stable (99.4 ± 2.0 pre- and postoperatively), while FADI (Foot and Ankle Disability Index) showed no clinically significant change (99.1 ± 4.0 to 98.6 ± 4.2). No major complications or clinically relevant donor-site morbidity were observed. Return-to-sport rate data were not available. Mean patient satisfaction score was high across the cohort | — |
