Manejo quirúrgico precoz en el desgarro del ligamento cruzado anterior

Abstract

Introduction: The most common injury in youth and young adults is anterior cruciate ligament tear; it affects mainly men, with 68.6% compared to women. There are non-surgical and surgical treatments; early surgical intervention for ligament injury treatment involves reconstruction of the injured fascicle by arthroscopy and using an autograft. After surgery, patients attend rehabilitation therapy sessions to return to their daily activities. Objective: This research aims to determine anterior cruciate ligament tears' early surgical management efficacy. Methodology: The study will be conducted through a literature review of scientific papers and articles on ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) tears. The articles will be selected through the PRISMA methodology, and the results will be established within a chart. Results: The main results indicated that early ACL reconstruction is one of the surgical interventions that has demonstrated the most remarkable efficacy in recovery and reintegration into everyday life. In addition, with the application of postoperative rehabilitation, positive results have been proved with improved stability. Conclusions: Using rehabilitation programs as a non-surgical treatment can achieve adequate knee joint function and return to full activity. Surgical ACL reconstruction is recommended in cases of persistent instability. Surgical treatment cannot be performed if the knee presents edema or swelling of the affected area.
