Description
Alessandro Carrozzo and eight co-authors ask what decides how much torn knee ligament a surgeon can save. Keeping part of the original ligament may help blood flow, joint sense, and strength after repair. The team drew on a database of 5,725 patients who had ligament rebuild surgery over ten years. They sorted what was left of the ligament by where it still held.
Younger patients were more likely to have very little ligament left at surgery. Other traits and findings in the joint also played a part, not just the wait since injury. The paper helps surgeons judge when saving the remnant is a real option.
