What is Long-term outcomes of surgery using the Ligament Advanced Reinforcement System as treatment for anterior cruciate ligament tears about?

AimsThe aim of this prospective study was to assess the long-term clinical, radiological, functional, and quality of life (QoL)-related outcome of patients treated with the synthetic Ligament Advanced Reinforcement System (LARS) device for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture.G. A. BernhardtMethodsFrom Medizinische A total of 41 patients who underwent ACL reconstruction with the LARS device (mean age 39.8 years (SD 12.1); 32% females (n = 13)) were prospectively included between August Universitat Graz, Graz, 2001 and March 2005. MRI scans and radiographs were performed at a median follow-up Austriaof 2.0 years (interquartile range (IQR) 1.3 to 3.0; n = 40) and 12.8 years (IQR 12.1 to 13.8; n = 22). Functional and QoL-related outcome was assessed in 29 patients at a median followup of 12.8 years (IQR 12.0 to 14.0) and clinically reconfirmed at latest median follow-up of 16.5 years (IQR 15.5 to 17.9). International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and Tegner scores were obtained pre- and postoperatively, and Lysholm score postoperatively only. At latest follow-up, range of motion, knee stability tests, 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), and IKDC scores were ascertain
