About this trial
Isolated ruptures of ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) are ligament injuries that can be proximal, central or distal. Treatment of patients with proximal lesions should be graded. Functional treatment can be reserved for low-demanding patients in whom the practice level is limited and progression risk to a functionally unstable knee less marked. In athletes, the risk of a new sprain must be explained and the patient will choose functional treatment or surgical treatment.
Surgical treatment generally involves ligamentoplasty at the expense of a knee tendon to replace the ruptured ACL. In the context of proximal ACL rupture, the patient can be offered surgical repair of the ACL. There are numerous studies on ACL ligamentoplasties results but literature is poor on modern ACL repair outcomes.
In this context, this study aims to describe the relapse rate at 5 years of patients operated for a proximal ACL tear.
