Abstract :
While several research on initial ACL repair have been published in the last 15 years, there is limited data on revision ACL reconstruction. There have been various case series describing surgeons. Revision reconstructive surgery cases typically have evidence levels III or IV. The majority of writers found that revision ACL reconstruction has a worse prognosis than primary repair. Revision ACL reconstruction has been linked to worse subjective knee-related quality of life, with a significant difference in median ratings between main and revision reconstructions (P=0.001). Revision reconstruction is referred to as a’salvage procedure’ (16), and it is recommended to spend significant time on counseling.
Despite this, research has demonstrated that the outcomes of revision surgery might be essentially no different from main reconstruction outcomes 6. However, this was merely level IV evidence once more, highlighting the necessity for prospective controlled trials with a high degree of evidence. This is the goal of the Multicenter ACL Revision Study (MARS) 2. MARS aims to create a prospective longitudinal cohort and offer the best possible evidence to inform clinical practice about revision ACL surgery.
About seventy surgeons are working together to determine the prognosis and independent factors of poor outcomes following revision ACL surgery. It is evident that higher level research on revision ACL reconstruction is still needed, and the MARS results may assist identify the most effective procedures for revision ACL reconstruction, perhaps leading to better outcomes of this procedure down the road There are no numbers or results in this review
