Effects of rehabilitation training on anterior cruciate ligament under arthroscope using a quadruple-strand semitendinous

Objective To explore the clinical effects of rehabilitation training on anterior cruciate ligament under arthroscope using a quadruple-strand semitendinous.Method A total of 110 cases(62 males and 48 females) who signed informed consents and underwent arthroscopic ACL.All cases received system rehabilitation training.All patients were followed up for 6～18 months(average 12.8 months).The clinical results were evaluated according to Lysholm and Lachman clinical rating scales.Results At the end of follow-up,there was no knee extension limitation and the knee flexion was between 110° and 150°,with an average of 130°.The Lysholm score of the 110 cases was(69.3±4.8) before operation,and(88.3±11.6) at the end of follow-up.Statistically,the difference between the Lysholm scores was significant(P0.01).For 82 cases were that the difference of Lachman score below 4mm and 19 cases were below 5mm.Conclusion After ACL reconstruction,early system rehabilitation training can relieve the postoperative pain and swelling of pain,and improve the function of knee joint.
