Director Seo Dong-won of Barunseang Hospital lists his thesis on reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament as an international academic journal
Apr 16, 2025
The Barunseang Hospital, a joint specialty hospital, is a paper by Seo Dong-won, Director of the Joint Center (Orthopedic Surgery, Rehabilitation Medicine) 'Results of Residual Tissue Preservation Anterior Cross Ligament Reconstruction Using Achilles tendon Allogeneic Transplantation: A Retrospective Analysis of Tibial Tunnel Expansion and Complications' has been listed in the Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics (JEO).
The study was conducted on 396 patients who underwent reconstruction by applying the allogeneic Achilles implant and the remaining anterior cruciate ligament preservation technique at our hospital between 2010 and 2023, and focused on tunnel wideening and complications that cause re-destruction.
MRI was taken to confirm the surgical outcome, and changes in MRI (average 21 months) were measured and compared immediately after surgery and during follow-up.
In order to check whether the tunnel was expanded, the study was conducted by measuring the cross section of the tunnel, which is located 1 cm perpendicular to the tunnel from the joint surface.
Among a total of 396 cases, 179 MRI measurements conducted MRI follow-up showed that the tunnel was increased to an average of 3.49 ㎟, and a tunnel reduction was observed in 45.2% of patients.
During follow-up, rupture of the graft was identified in 21 (approximately 5%) of the total 396 patients, except for 2 patients who had re-arrested just 4 months after surgery due to football and trauma, 19 patients had the graft ruptured after an average of 37.4 months. The case of re-destruction identified in this study is confirmed to be caused by excessive activity of patients who participated in vigorous exercise rather than tunnel expansion.
As a result, this study confirmed that when reconstruction was performed by applying the allogeneic Achilles implant and the remaining anterior cruciate ligament preservation technique, it was effective in reducing tunnel expansion and lowering complications.
Director Seo Dong-won, the author of the paper, said, `The most important technique for the success of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is the method of fixing the graft gun, and the allogeneic Achilles tendon can use bones as well as tendons, so it can prevent tunnel expansion and firmly fix the graft gun because it is fixed using bones in the tunnels of the femur and tibiaThe paper also introduced the method of preserving the local area behind the Seulgaegan and the method of preserving the residual ligament.
"This surgical method is a surgical method performed by all medical staff at the joint center of the hospital, and it is significant because this study can objectively confirm the excellence of the method performed at the hospital."
