Bilateral simultaneous anterior cruciate ligament tears treated with single staged simultaneous primary repair : A case report
Copyright © 2022 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.. All rights reserved..
INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Simultaneous bilateral anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are a rare injury pattern within the literature. There is not a consensus optimal management of this injury. Bilateral primary ACL repair in a single stage surgery provides knee stability with a minimally morbid surgery in a single rehabilitation period. This case report offers another option for surgeons to consider in the treatment of this rare injury.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 45-year-old female skier presented with simultaneous bilateral isolated proximal anterior cruciate ligament injuries. MRI demonstrated bilateral proximal ACL tear patterns which were amenable to primary ACL repair. The patient subsequently underwent acute single-staged arthroscopic primary ACL repair with suture augmentation of both knees. She attained rehabilitation milestones and was fully cleared to return to sporting activities one year post-operatively. Two years post-operatively the patient continues to do well with excellent clinical outcomes.
CLINICAL DISCUSSION: The other treatment modalities reported in the literature were single staged and two staged ACL reconstruction with either autograft or allograft. While single staged procedures are more time and cost efficient, the primary concern is that simultaneous rehabilitation of bilateral ACL reconstructions may lead to severe quadriceps deconditioning. Primary ACL repair poses a potential solution as a minimally morbid surgery with faster rehabilitation from surgery.
CONCLUSION: Due to the limited invasiveness and morbidity of ACL primary repair with suture augmentation, simultaneous primary repair surgery could be an excellent treatment option for this rare patient population, saving time and cost while providing appropriate knee stability.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, Case Report.
