Encouraging evidence in support of ACL preservation

We are delighted to update you with the major findings so far from a study we posted a video about earlier this year. It shows research being carried out by Dr William Wilson assessing clinical and biomechanical outcomes of sports patients recovering from serious knee injuries involving the cruciate ligament. Video shows how the testing runs. Encouraging findings so far are: 1) Proprioceptive defects seen following ACL reconstruction are not found after augmented ACL repair surgery, with potential for improved patient outcomes. 2) ACL repair patients performed as well as, or better in PROMs, stability, and hop tests than matched patients following ACL reconstruction. 3) Despite early surgical intervention for ACL repair, the range of movement was not reduced, as was found for reconstruction. Concerns regarding arthrofibrosis in acute surgery for ACL tears leading to chronic knee stiffness are not supported by this study. 4) Hamstring weakness and asymmetry seen following ACL reconstruction is not evident following augmented primary ACL repair - with potentially improved patient outcomes. #aclrepair #aclinjuryresearch #aclsurgeryoptions #aclinternalbracesurgery #aclrecovery This research is very encouraging evidence in support of ACL preservation. Dr Wilson will be publishing further gait analysis from this study in the following weeks. Taking part in the session we filmed here was Lauren Perry, goalkeeper with the Northern Ireland national team, who had her ACL repaired with the InternalBrace by Professor Mackay a year and a half prior to this session. Our thanks to our former patients for agreeing to take part in this research programme. #womensfootball #football #footballinjury Head to our website news section to find out more about this study
