PG - 4467-4473 LID - 10.1007/s00167-023-07493-x [doi] AB - PURPOSE: To report outcomes of first revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with tibial deflexion osteotomy (TDO) in patients with posterior tibial slope (PTS) >10 degrees at >2 years. METHODS: The authors studied outcomes of a consecutive series of 16 patients that underwent first revision ACLR with TDO, including Lysholm score, IKDC subjective and objective scores, Lachman test, PTS, and signs of osteoarthritis. One woman was excluded because of early signs of knee arthritis, as the first revision ACLR took place 27 years following the primary ACLR. This left a final cohort of 15 patients assessed at minimum follow-up of 2 years. RESULTS: The final cohort comprised 14 men and 1 woman aged 25.3 +/- 6.6 years (range 16-39) at first revision ACLR. At final follow-up of 4.4 +/- 1.5 years (range, 2-7), PTS was corrected from 12.5 +/- 1.8 degrees (range 8-15 degrees ) to 1.9 +/- 3.6 degrees (range - 4 to 8 degrees ), and none of the knees had radiographic signs of osteoarthritis. Lysholm score was 83.8+/-12.5, IKDC subjective score was 80.3+/-16.2, and IKDC objective score was A in 5 (33%), and B in 10 (67%). The net improvement exceeded the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in 93% of patients for the IKDC subjective score and in 80% of patients for the Lysholm score. None of the knees had any retears, and only one required a reoperation to re-suture a medial meniscal tear due to trauma. CONCLUSION: At 2-7 years following revision ACLR combined with TDO, net improvement exceeded the MCID in 93% of patients for IKDC subjective score and in 80% of patients for Lysholm score, with no retears or major complications. These results suggest that TDO is a safe technique to protect the ACL graft and might be considered as of first revision ACLR to correct excessive PTS. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV. CI - (c) 2023.
