- Abstract: Background: This study was performed to compare the clinical efficacies of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with autologous ligament grafting at different time points. Methods: Eighty‐five patients with ACL were categorized into two groups: Group A (GA, n = 45), who underwent early‐stage (≤3 weeks) surgery, and Group B (GB, n = 40), who underwent advanced‐stage (>3 weeks) surgery. Perioperative conditions, knee joint functions, activity and stability before and at 6 months postoperatively, changes in quality of life (QOL), good and excellent rates of knee joint functions, and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups. Results: In both groups, there was an increase in the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Lysholm score, and QOL and a decrease in the knee joint angle flexion limitation, angle of spread limitation, positive rates in the anterior drawer test (ADT), and Lachman test score ( P < .05) after surgery. At 6 months postoperatively, the IKDC score, Lysholm score, and QOL were higher in GA than in GB ( P < .05). The good and excellent rates of knee joint functions were higher in GA than in GB (93.33% vs. 77.50%) ( P < .05). Conclusion: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with autologous ligament grafting can achieve good effects whether performed in the early or advanced stage; however, the improvements in patients' knee joint functions and QOL are better in the early stage.

Therefore, early ACL reconstruction with autologous ligament grafting is suggested. Abstract : Intergroup comparison of perioperative conditions. … (more)
