Dr. Chris Servant discusses the optimal timing for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with respect to the risk of postoperative stiffness.
Eight studies (4 randomized control trials and 4 cohort studies) were included in this analysis which investigated the impact of early versus late surgery on stiffness outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Adverse outcomes of arthrofibrosis, stiffness, or range of motion deficits were reported for a minimum of one year postoperatively in the included studies. The results of the analysis indicated that surgery characterized as either early or delayed did not increase the risk of adverse stiffness outcomes.

Der Fragilitätsindex ist ein Instrument, das bei der Interpretation signifikanter Ergebnisse hilft und ein Maß für die Stärke eines Ergebnisses liefert. Der Fragilitätsindex gibt die Anzahl der aufeinanderfolgenden Ereignisse an, die zu einem dichotomen Ergebnis hinzugefügt werden müssen, damit das Ergebnis nicht mehr signifikant ist. Eine kleine Zahl steht für ein schwächeres Ergebnis und eine große Zahl für ein stärkeres Ergebnis.
Warum wurde diese Studie jetzt benötigt?
There has been recent interest in the timing of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction following ACL injury, with some advocating that delayed surgery can lead to reduced prevalence of arthrofibrosis and improved postoperative stiffness. Although there has been evidence to support this claim, research has also been undertaken which has found no difference between the early and delayed surgery. Due to these conflicting findings, a synthesis of existing literature was undertaken to determine if there was a significant relationship between the timing of surgery and postoperative stiffness experienced by patients.
Was war die wichtigste Forschungsfrage?
Did delaying ACL reconstruction significantly reduce the incidence of postoperative motion loss and knee stiffness compared to early surgery, measured after a minimum of 12 months postoperatively?
- Search strategy concluded with finding four RCTs (3 Level I evidence and 1 Level II evidence) and four cohort studies (all Level II evidence).
- The three Level I studies were analyzed for risk of adverse outcomes (reduced range of motion, arthrofibrosis, stiffness, extension deficit) associated with variable cutoff points for early surgery (2, 3, and 10 weeks), and indicated there were no significant differences in outcome in any of the studies (2 weeks: RR 1.38 (95%CI 0.10-20.16); 3 weeks: RR 0.34 (95%CI 0.04-3.14); 10 weeks: RR 3.81 (95%CI 0.44-33.08).
- Analysis of 7 included studies (1 excluded because it did not report poolable outcomes) indicated there was no significant increase in risk of adverse outcome associated with early or delayed surgery when stratified by different cutoff points for early surgery (1, 2, 3, 10, 12, and 20 weeks).
- A sensitivity analysis considering individual outcomes of arthrofibrosis incidence, extension deficit >3°, and flexion deficit >3° and stratified for different criteria of early surgery observed no clear overall trend.
Was sollte ich mir besonders merken?
There was no increased risk of adverse outcome, with respect to arthrofibrosis, stiffness and ROM deficit, observed associated with early surgery compared to delayed surgery following ACL injury.
Wie wird sich dies auf die Behandlung meiner Patienten auswirken?
The results of this analysis suggest that there is no increased risk of arthrofibrosis or range of motion deficit between early and delayed ACL reconstruction, provided a modern surgical technique and an accelerated postoperative rehabilitation protocol is implemented. The overall strength of this evidence is debatable, however, considering the nonuniformity in classification of "early" surgery (1 to 20 weeks), as well as the inclusion of a considerable amount of Level II evidence (primarily cohort studies). Future research should be guided by establishing definitive criteria for early versus late surgery and outcomes should be investigated in randomized controlled trials before any conclusive statements can be made.
