Following comparisons, results indicated that DB ACL reconstruction provided better anterior and rotational stability and higher IKDC score than SB ACL reconstruction.

Fragility Indexは、重要な所見の解釈を助けるツールで、結果の強さの尺度を提供します。Fragility Indexは、その所見が有意でなくなるために、二項対立の結果に追加する必要がある連続した事象の数を表します。数値が小さいほど弱い所見を表し、数値が大きいほど強い所見を表します。
なぜ今この研究が必要なのですか?
ACL ruptures are one of the most common injuries in those taking part in athletic activities. ACL reconstructions are typically performed using the SB approach, but recent studies have suggested that the DB method provides better clinical outcomes and a lower risk of developing osteoarthritis. However, there is not enough evidence to confirm this. Therefore, this meta-analysis aimed to determine whether DB ACL reconstruction resulted in better functional results than SB ACL reconstruction.
主な研究課題は何ですか?
Does DB ACL reconstruction better restore normal knee kinematics and provide better clinical outcomes than SB ALC reconstruction?
重要な知見は?
- Heterogeneity across 14 studies with results for the pivot shift test (grades A, B, C, D) was high (I-squared: 83.8%). The RR for patient being graded A was 0.77 (95% CI: 0.67 to 0.89), this suggested that there were significantly more patients graded A in the DB group.
- For anterior stability, measured using the Lachman test, the RR was 0.84 (95% CI: 0.78 to 0.92), which suggested that more patients in the DB group were graded A. Heterogeneity was relatively small (I-squared: 38.8%).
- For anterior stability, measured using KT-2000 and KT-1000, the overall combined SMD values significantly preferred DB ACL reconstruction (SMD: 0.26; 95% CI: 0.05 to 0.46).
- The IKDC objective score (SMD: -0.08 (-0.43, 0.15)) for functional outcome displayed a significant difference between SB and DB groups, favouring DB reconstruction (RR: 0.80 (0.68, 0.93)).
- The correlation coefficient between the SMDs and RRs was calculated to be 0.034.
- Begg's test indicated that no publication bias existed in the pivot shift test (p=0.635).
最も覚えておくべきことは?
The results from this meta-analysis indicated that better anterior and rotational stability and higher IKDC scores were obtained in those patients who underwent DB ACL reconstruction compared to SB ACL reconstruction. No significant differences were displayed between the two techniques for subjective outcomes.
それが私の患者ケアにどのように影響するか?
DB ACL reconstruction is better than SB ACL for re-establishing stability, however, there were no significant differences in subjective outcomes between these methods of reconstruction. For this reason it is still unclear which method of reconstruction should be recommended. Additional RCTs with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods should be conducted in order to provide more evidence for any future meta-analyses regarding this topic. Additional research also needs to be conducted to examine differences between anatomical reconstructions.
