Background summary
We conducted a case control study in which we compared the conservative
teatment with the operative treatment for
patients after an ACL rupture.(MEC 218.023/2002/227) The literature on longterm
outcomes after ACL ruptures with
radiological evaluation and also conservative treatment is scarce.
Study objective
To study the clinical and radiological outcomes 20 years after operative or
conservative treatment for an ACL rupture
Study design
Long-term follow-up of a case-control study comparing operative with
conservative treatment for an ACL rupture. All
patients will be asked to visit the outpatient clinic of the orthopedics
department once for radiological and clinical
evalution of the knee function.
Study burden and risks
The burden is primarly time (visit to the outpatient clinic) and radiation
(three knee x-rays and one hand x-ray). There is
no direct benefit from participation. Travel allowance will be offered to
participants.
