Q

Restoring Quadriceps Function

SO IMPORTANT!!!!

A
  • Pain + Effusion—> adversely affect quad function
    • ​=====quad inhibition
  • Quad activation failure===EXT. mech. disrupted
    • ​quad tendon OR patellar tendon autografts
  • Poor quad function ==> patellofemoral arthrofibrosis (stiff & sticky)
  • GOOD quad function requires adequate patellar mobility******
  • Restoration of quad function correlates w/ ADL fxn in EARLY STAGES OF RECOVERY
  • Quantity and Quality of exercise KEY to maint. and improving quad function
    • 50 quad sets every hour you are awake!!!
      • LOAD THEM!!!

Q

Lig. Sx.

Repair vs. Reconstruction

A
  • Repair
    • ​uses sutures and ligament is re-attached
      • ​YOU MUST BE WAY MORE CAREFUL AS TO NOT FUCK UP THE REPAIR!!!!
      • SEE PICS
  • Reconstruction—move earlier, takes longer to heal
    • ​uses grafts and screws INTO BONE.
      • ​anything into bone is MUCH stronger!!!
28
Q

ACL Reconstruction

A
  • Primary Goal:
    • ​restore stability + Knee kinematics to PREVENT future degen. changes
  • 40-90% pts undergoing ALC-R have radiographic evidence of knee OA 7-12yrs AFTER Sx
  • Anatomically performed
  • Graft failure ranges 0-27%
    • ​based on activity lvl after Sx
  • ***Returning to prev. lvl of sport NOT guarenteed****
29
Q

ACL-Reconstruction

see pics in notability

Slide 16

A
  • Single bundle procedure—-reconstruct AnteroMed bundle
  • “Anatomic” double bundle procedure—reconstructs BOTH bundles into Anatomic Position
  • Graft passed thru tunnels drilled into tibia and femur
    • Drilled====strong!!!

***NOTE: single bundle procedure==NO spinning/rotation protection==meniscus + cartilage damage

30
Q

Ligament Graft Healing

*gets WEAKER before STRONGER

A
  • Initially—-graft is Avascular (no blood supply)
    • ​6-8wks: graft will show signs of avascular necrosis
      • ​weaker BEFORE stronger!!!
    • 8-12wks: revascularization begins; mesenchymal cells invade graft
    • 16wks: vascularization complete; mesenchymal cells AND proliferation AND form collagen
      • Collagen changes from fragments to dense longitudinally oriented fibers
  • ****Graft strength DECs during pd of necrosis and then it INCs as it remodels and matures
    • ​DOES NOT REACH ORIG. STRENGTH OF NATIVE ACL
31
Q

Autografts vs. Allografts

A

Auto===self

Allo==cadaver OR donor

32
Q

Autografts

A
  • FASTER incorporation and healing
    • ​bc its YOURS!!!
  • Better outcomes in young, active pts
  • Donor-site morbidity?
  • Risk of Fx?

*NOTE: commonly use semitendinosis (inserts @ PES) —–Semitendinosis is a MEDIAL STABILIZER to knee—-protects against valgus—-now you do not have that extra stabilizer—-bad for soccer players

33
Q

Allografts

A
  • Higher cost
  • Predictable graft size
  • Availability****
  • Better for revisions
  • Re-injury rate?
    • HIGHER
  • ****They don’t hurt enough!!!
    • ​bc of this—–pt wants to do MORE TOO early
34
Q

GOLD STANDARD ACL PROCEDURE

A

Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone Autograft

BPTB

35
Q

Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone Autograft

BPTB

*Gold-Standard*

6-8wks to heal

A
  • GOLD STANDARD ****
  • Provides rigid bone to bone fixation which allows accelerated rehab to attain full ROM and Strength
    • ​Boney plugs==heal approx. 6-8wks
    • 30% pts complain donor-site moribidity
  • ***Central 1/3 of tendon is 186% as strong as native ACL****
  • Patellar Fx
    • ​NO aggressive strengthening for 6-8wks
    • AVOID high eccentric loading for 12-16wks
  • Patellar Tendon Rupture
    • ​Persistent extensor lag w/ SLR @ 4wks post-op
    • Inability to perform SLR 1-2wks post-op
36
Q

Hamstring Tendon Autograft (self)

*Falling out of favor***

*8-12wks to heal

A
  • USUALLY semitendinosis/gracilis graft
    • ​Semitendinosis== 70% strong as native ACL
    • Gracilis== 49% strong as native ACL
  • Fixation NOT AS STRONG as BPTB
  • Potentially LESS quad atrophy
  • LESS donor-site morbidity
    • ​able to kneel
    • BUT now you’ve disrupted HS’s== implications in injury prevent.
  • **soft tissue-to-bone heals approx 8-12wks
37
Q

Quad Tendon-Bone Autograft vs.

Quad Tendon Soft Tissue Autograft

A
  • Stability similar (OR superior to) BPTP graft BUT w/ less kneeling pain
    • ​Quads activation is poorer than other autografts
    • Harvest site pain w/ contraction
    • few long term studies
  • Need to target rec fem while stretching and strengthening
38
Q

Allografts

from cadaver or donor

usually what??

A
  • USUALLY bone-patellar tendon-bone, Achilles, Tib. Ant.
  • Mixed results for:
    • failure rates
    • laxity
    • ROM outcomes
    • Can allow for FASTER REHAB bc DECd pain
39
Q

Post-OP ACL Rehab

CKC ex’s vs. OKC ex’s

A
  • Generally, CKC ex’s cause LESS STRAIN vs. OKC
  • 44 Subj’s randomized into CKC ex only vs. CKC and OKC ex’s following reconstruction w/ BPTB graft
    • ​OKC ex’s initiated @ 6wks post-OP and in range of 90-40degs and progressed to 90-110degs by 12 wks post-OP
40
Q

Post-Op Rehab

Generally, CKC ex’s cause LESS STRAIN vs. OKC

44 Subj’s randomized into CKC ex only vs. CKC and OKC ex’s following reconstruction w/ BPTB graft

​OKC ex’s initiated @ 6wks post-OP and in range of 90-40degs and progressed to 90-110degs by 12 wks post-OP

A
  • Results:
    • NO sig. diff in ant. knee laxity @ 6mos
    • Sig. INC in quads torque in CKC/OKC group
    • Sig. HIGHER # pts returned to pre-injury lvl in CKC/OKC group and did so 2 mos EARLIER than CKC group
  • Conclusion:
    • Incorporate OKC ex’s WITH CKC’s in the protected ranges following ACL-Reconstruction
41
Q

Acceptable OKC Quad Strengthening:

A
  • Isometrics @ 90o and 60o
  • Long Arc Quads
    • ​Weeks 0-12: 90-60degs
    • Weeks 12-16: 90-45degs
    • Weeks 16+: 90-0degs
  • Short Arc Quads
    • ​0-10degs does NOT put excess strain on ACL
    • 0-30degs may NOT be approp. after ACL-R
42
Q

Quad Strengthening

Patella

A
  • GREATER axial strain on patella in GREATER DEGREES OF FLEX.
43
Q

Risk Factors for Recurrent ACL-R

A
  • Graft failure or contralat. ACL tears exceed 20% in young athletes returning to competitive sports
  • Risk factors for recurrent ACL-R
    • tech. failure in tunnel placement** or **graft position
    • Contralat. ACL tear rates 6-9%
    • Higher rates w/ younger pop. + allograft use
      • ​bc returning to sport===higher risk
44
Q

Return to Sports w/ ACL-R

Where are we now?

A
  • 1/3 pts return to same lvl of competitive sports 12mos after sx
  • <50% pts return to sports 2-7yrs after sx
  • Young active pts are 6x MORE LIKELY to sustain 2nd ACL injury w/in 24 mos after ACLR and RTS vs healthy controls
    • 20% contralat; 9% ipsilat.
45
Q

Ardern CL. BJSM. 2014

Updated systematic review assessing RTS

A
  • 81% (of 4837 pts) return to sport
  • 65% return to pre-injury lvls of sport
  • 55% return to competitive sports
  • MEN are 1.5 MORE LIKELY vs. females to return to pre-injury OR competitive lvls of sport
    • ​bc DUMBER!!!

-Dwight D. Eisenhower

52
Q

Phase 1: Tissue Protection Phase

Evidence Supporting ROM Recommendations

A
  • Early motion is @ least equivalent to immobilization
    • MLKIs
      • ​Early sxandEarly motionled tofewer ROM deficits
    • ACL
      • ​ESP in combined procedures
      • may lead to tunnel widening
    • PCL
53
Q

Phase 1: Tissue Protection Phase

Practical Application of ROM Exercise

A
  • PROM w/in avail. range
    • ​AROM pending tissue restricts.
    • Pain and tissue stretch are guidelines for intenisty of ROM
  • Patellar mobs in NEUTRAL
    • ​can ALWAYS mobilize the patella!!!
  • Positioning in EXT w/ tibial support to avoid over-stressing repairs
  • Cycling for ROM
    • Week 3—mod. irritability–0-90deg
54
Q

Phase 1: Tissue Protection Phase

Evidence Supporting WB Status

A
  • Controlled Gait Lab
    • training w/ bathroom scale to a clinically variable % of BW
    • ***21 of 23 pts w/ Fx bore TOO MUCH WT
      • ​3% to 163%
  • No diffs after ACL-R
55
Q

Phase 1: Tissue Protection Phase

Evidence Supporting WB Status:

A
  • controlled gait lab
  • NO diffs after ACL-R
  • PWB/TTWB gen. not supported
  • No data on NWB in MLKIs
    • ​may be surgeon preference
56
Q

Phase 1: Tissue Protection Phase

Practical Application of WB

A
  • NWB vs. WBAT w/ crutches WITH brace locked in EXT
    • ​does NOT mean FWB is promoted
    • consider S/S of inflamm & irritability
    • adjust as necessary
  • Crutch Use== MIN. of 3wks
  • Brace Use== MIN of 6wks
57
Q

Tissue Specific Protections: PCL

OFTEN reconstructed OR repaired

PCL Injury, Reconstruction or Repair

A
  • WBAT w/ brace and crutches
  • Restricted ROM—-AVOID HYPEREXTENSION!
    • ​GOAL: anatomic 0 (neutral) EARLY—maint. for 4-8wks
    • GOAL: 90degs w/out excess. post. tibial sublux
    • AVOID POST. TIBIAL GLIDES FOR FLEXION!
  • Therapeutic Ex—Care for HS TEs
    • ​AVOID NWB, non-resisted ex. for 8wks
    • *ADD resistance @ 12wks
58
Q

Tissue Specific Precautions: Lateral Corner

PLC Injury, Reconstruction, Repair

A
  • WBAT w/ brace AND crutches
  • Restricted ROM:
    • GOAL: anatomic 0 (neutral) EARLY, avoid HYPEREXTENSION
    • GOAL: 90degs w/out excess. post. tibial subluxation
    • No VARUS force, tibial rotation, and post. tibial glides ******
59
Q

PLC Reconstruction

A
  • after acute injuries—–repair typ. done w/in 3 wks to avoid tissue retraction, tissue necrosis
  • Chronic PLC injuries— MORE diff. to repair due to excess. scarring
    • ​therefore, reconstruction performed
  • LCL reconstructions—usually use semitendinosis autografts
60
Q

Tissue Specific Precautions:

Medial Corner

A

Medial Corner Injury, Reconstruction, Repair

  • WBAT w/ brace and crutches
  • Restricted ROM:
    • GOAL: anatomic 0 (neutral) EARLY, may avoid hyperEXT completely bc capsular involve.

  • TherEX
    • ​care for HS TE’s if possible
    • avoid valgus forces
    • watch semimembranosus
61
Q

Tissue Specific Protections:

HS Considerations

Active Posterior Drawer

A
  • if contraction of HS’s causes visible post. dislocation or sublux. or tibia====> insuff. healing of PCL or PLC
    • ​refer back to surgeon
  • If this causes sig. pain after HS repair===> incomp. healing
62
Q

Tissue Specific Protections:

HS Considerations

Non-resisted HS Ex.

A
  • 8 wks post-sx
    • heel slides
    • Prone HS curls
