الوصف: | Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) trauma and ACL reconstruction (ACLR) are associated with the loss of strength and function of the muscles that span the knee joint. The underlying mechanism associated with this is not completely understood. Purpose: To determine whether the duration of tourniquet use during ACLR has an effect on knee extensor muscle contractile function and size at the cellular (ie, fiber) level 3 weeks after surgery and at the whole-muscle level at 6 months after surgery. Study Design: Descriptive laboratory study and case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: Study participants sustained an acute, first-time ACL injury. All participants underwent ACLR with the use of a tourniquet placed in a standardized location on the thigh; the tourniquet was inflated (pressure range, 250-275 mm Hg), and the time of tourniquet use during surgery was documented. Participants were evaluated 1 week before surgery (to measure patient function, strength, and subjective outcome with the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score [KOOS] and International Knee Documentation Committee [IKDC] score), at 3 weeks after ACLR surgery (to obtain muscle biopsy specimens of the vastus lateralis and assess muscle fiber cross-sectional area, contractile function, and mitochondrial content and morphometry), and at 6 months after ACLR (to evaluate patient function, strength, and subjective outcomes via KOOS and IKDC scores). Data were acquired on both the injured/surgical limb and the contralateral, normal side to facilitate the use of a within-subjects study design. Results are based on additional analysis of data acquired from previous research that had common entry criteria, treatments, and follow-up protocols. Results: At 3 weeks after ACLR, the duration of tourniquet use at the time of surgery did not explain the variation in single–muscle fiber contractile function or cross-sectional area (myosin heavy chain [MHC] I and II fibers) or subsarcolemmal and intermyofibrillar mitochondrial content or morphometry. At 6 months after ACLR, the duration of tourniquet use was not associated with the peak isometric and isokinetic torque measurements, patient function, or patient-reported outcomes. Conclusion: The duration of tourniquet use at the time of ACLR surgery did not explain variation in muscle fiber size, contractile function, or mitochondrial content at 3 weeks after surgery or strength of the quadriceps musculature or patient-reported function or quality of life at 6-month follow-up. |
