Abstract:Objective To observe the recent clinical effects of arthroscope in treating anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) injury combined with longitudinal tear meniscus(Ramp)injury.Methods 50 anterior cruciate ligament injury combined with medial meniscus(Ramp)injury patients,accepted ligament reconstruction and meniscus repair under arthroscope, from March 2006 to March 2010 of our department were selected as study objects.The IKDC score before and after operation,Lysholm score and recovery situation were compared.Results After operation,anterior drawer test and Lachman test results of 3 patients were weak positive and 47 cases were negative;compared with preoperative,the affected side postoperative Lysholm score,IKDC score and knee joint Lachman test results had obvious difference(P<0.01).At final follow-up,all patients had a normal life.10 patients have been strenuous physical activity.All the patients did not have the symptoms of joint lock and joint instability.5 patients had medial knee pain when with squat.Postoperative review of knee joint MRI showed that signal of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus was normal in 31 patients,域level signal of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus was in 19 patients and the healing rate of MRI examination was 100%. Conclusion Early arthroscopic treatment knee joint anterior cruciate ligament injury with medial meniscus Ramp injury with satisfactory near future curative effect and is an effective operation,but the long term effect remains to be seen.
