摘要
After anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, the optimal timing of ACL reconstruction and the influence of this timing on chondral damage remain unclear.To assess the effect of timing of ACL reconstruction on the presence of chondral injuries via a systematic review and meta-analysis.Systematic review and meta-analysis; Level of evidence, 4.Two reviewers independently performed systematic literature searches of 5 online databases using the Cochrane methodology for systematic reviews. Eligibility criteria were any comparative study of patients aged >16 years that assessed the relationship between timing of primary ACL reconstruction surgery and rates of chondral injuries. Meta-analysis was conducted using a random-effects model.After screening, 14 studies (n = 3559 patients) out of 2363 titles met the inclusion criteria: 3 randomized controlled trials (n = 272), 3 prospective cohort studies (n = 398), and 8 retrospective cohort studies (n = 2889). In analysis of the studies, chondral injury rates were compared between ACL reconstructions performed before and after 3 time points: 3, 6, and 12 months after injury (eg, ≤3 vs >3 months). The rates of chondral injury increased with each time point. The increase was mostly due to low-grade injuries at 3 months (estimated odds ratio, 1.914; 95% CI, 1.242-2.949; P = .003), with the increase in high-grade injuries becoming predominant after 12 months (estimated odds ratio, 3.057; 95% CI, 1.460-6.40; P = .003).Our findings suggest that delaying ACL reconstruction surgery results in a higher rate of chondral injuries and the severity of these lesions worsens with time. These findings are comparable with those of our previously published study, which demonstrated a higher risk of meniscal tears associated with delayed ACL surgery. When ACL reconstruction is indicated, surgery ≤3 months after injury is associated with a lower risk of intra-articular damage.CRD42016032846 (PROSPERO).
