Knee strength symmetry at 4 months is associated with criteria and rates of return to sport after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

Résumé

Background: Strength limb symmetry index (LSI) is a useful criterion to help in return-to-sport performance (RTP) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Objectives: We aimed to assess whether knee extensor and flexor LSI values at 4 months after ACLR are associated with those recommended at 8 months after ACLR for RTP (80%, 85% and 90%) and with successful RTP after 2 years. Methods: This was prospective cohort study of 113 participants who underwent primary ACLR. Personal factors such as demographic and sport information, injury and surgery characteristics were collected at 6 weeks after surgery. Isokinetic strength LSI (60 degrees/s) was calculated at 4 months (LSI[4 m]) and 8 months (LSI[8 m]) for knee extensors (Q-LSI) and flexors (H-LSI). Participants were followed at 2 years after ACLR to determine their self-reported RTP. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine associations between personal factors and LSI at 4 and 8 months. Associations between passing the optimal cut-off thresholds and RTP were tested with chi-square tests and odds ratios (ORs) with effect sizes (ES). Results: Among the 113 participants (mean age 25.2 [SD 9.7] years; 42% females), extended tourniquet time and lower level of pre-injury sport were associated with lower Q-LSI[4m] and H-LSI[4m]. Bone-patellar tendon-bone graft was associated with lower Q-LSI[4m] and Q-LSI[8m], and older age was associated with lower Q-LSI[4m]. For knee extensors, Q-LSI[4m] >59% was associated with Q-LSI[8m] >80% (OR= 31.50, p < 0.001, large ES) and increased odds of successful RTP (60% vs 31%, OR= 3.45, p = 0.003, medium ES). For knee flexors, H-LSI[4m] >72% was associated with H-LSI[8m] >90% (OR= 6.03, p < 0.001, large ES) and increased odds of successful RTP (53% vs 23%, OR= 3.76, p = 0.013, small-to-medium ES). Conclusions: After primary ACLR, 4-month post-operative strength symmetry was negatively associated with age, pre-injury sport and tourniquet time and bone-patellar tendon-bone graft. Four-month post-operative LSI was associated with 8-month post-operative LSI, and Q-LSI[4m] >59% or H-LSI[4m] >72% was associated with increased RTP rates after 2 years.
