Lower failure rate with double- versus single-bundle ACL reconstruction with hamstring autograft .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Double-Bundle Versus Single-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Prospective Randomized Study With 10-Year Results
Am J Sports Med. 2017 Sep;45(11):2578-258590 patients scheduled for arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with a hamstring autograft were randomized to either double-bundle reconstruction with bioabsorbable interference screw fixation, single-bundle reconstruction with bioabsorbable interference screw fixation, or single-bundle reconstruction with metallic interference screw fixation. Patients were assessed over 10-year follow-up for graft failure rate, osteoarthritis development, knee laxity measures, and clinical/functional outcomes. After the completion of follow-up, the lowest rate of graft failure was observed in the DB group (n=1), followed by the SBM gorup (n=3) and the SBB group (n=7). The incidence of development of medial, lateral, and patellofemoral OA did not significantly differ between the three groups and results on knee laxity and patient-reported functional measures were similar between the groups.
