Effect of LARS Artificial Ligament on the Knee Joint Function in Patients with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury
Objective:To explore the effect of LARS artificial ligament on the knee joint function in patients with anterior cruciate ligament(ACL)injury.Methods:A total of 60 patients with anterior cruciate ligament injury admitted to our hospital from October 2020 to September 2023 were selected,and were divided into the control group and the observation group by computer method,with 30 cases in each group.The control group used autologous tendon for ACL reconstruction,while the observation group used autologous tendon+LARS artificial ligament for ACL reconstruction.Knee joint function[Lysholm knee functional score,IKDC knee score]before and after treatment,postoperative recovery and complication occurrence were compared between the two groups.Results:Preoperatively,there was no significant difference in Lysholm score and IKDC score between the two groups(P>0.05).After 1 year of follow-up,Lysholm score and IKDC score were improved in both groups,and significantly increased in the observation group compared with the control group(P<0.05);The recovery time of daily activities and exercise level in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of postoperative complications in the observation group was 3.33%,lower than 26.67%in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:LARS artificial ligament can improve the knee joint function,promote postoperative recovery,and reduce the incidence of complications.
