Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With a Periosteal - Patellar Tendon - Bone Autograft - The Kocabey Press-Fit Technique

This study aims to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients undergoing anatomical single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with periosteal-patellar tendon-bone autograft and press-fit tibial fixation technique. The study also aims to compare these outcomes with other reconstruction techniques in the literature. The research investigates the results of a novel surgical technique, providing a minimally invasive and faster rehabilitation for patients undergoing surgery due to anterior cruciate ligament rupture. The technique does not use any screws or staples for tibial fixation, but it carries similar risks as existing techniques. The technique, similar to the well-known bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) autograft technique, creates minimal bone defect at the tibial tuberosity. Over time, the defect remodels and causes minimal clinical discomfort. Despite these limitations, the authors expect patients operated with the investigated new technique to experience less postoperative swelling, less pain, faster mobilization, and earlier rehabilitation.
