PURPOSE: To clarify the effects of re-notchplasty on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for evaluating the reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). TYPE OF STUDY: Observational cohort study. METHODS: Twenty-one patients who underwent re-notchplasty at second-look arthroscopy were examined. The MRI findings of the reconstructed ACL were classified as having either high, intermediate, or low intensity based on the clarity of appearance. RESULTS: The impinged group at second-look arthroscopy underwent re-notchplasty. Twelve patients continued to show a high signal intensity that did not decrease after re-notchplasty at the second-look operation. In contrast, 9 impinged ACL grafts showed a decreased signal intensity of the graft after re-notchplasty. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, 9 cases showed a decreased intensity and were considered to have an impingement at the notch, which thus influenced the maturity process by decreasing the compression on the reconstructed ACL. |
