Both Adjustable and Fixed Loop Hamstring Tendon Graft Fixation Have Similar Clinical and Patient-Reported Outcomes in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aims to compare the outcomes of fixed-loop device (FLD) vs adjustable-loop device (ALD) graft fixation with up to 2-year follow-up in patients undergoing primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) in a predominantly Asian setting.

Methods

Prospectively collected outcome measures as well as clinical records of patients who underwent primary ACLR using either FLD or ALD fixation of hamstring tendon autograft performed by a single surgeon were reviewed. The surgeon in this study used a fixed-loop device from 2018 to 2019 and then changed to adjustable loop from 2019 to 2020. Suspensory fixation was performed on the femoral side, and aperture (interference screw) fixation was performed on the tibial side. Outcome measures included knee range of m
