EFFICACY OF EARLY ADMINISTRATION OF LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN AFTER ARTHROSCOPIC RECONSTRUCTION OF THE ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIAGAMENT
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of early use of low molecular weight hydrolyzed collagen in arthroscopic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee. Subjects and Methods: A prospective, longitudinal, controlled study was conducted on 60 patients at the 108 Military Central Hospital from March to December 2024. Outcomes were assessed using the IKDC 2000 and KOOS scoring systems. Results: At 9 weeks post-operation, the number of patients in the treatment group rated as Grade A on the IKDC scale was 21, compared to 6 in the control group. By 12 weeks, these numbers rose to 22 and 14 respectively. KOOS scores at 12 weeks after surgery averaged 89.13 ± 2.4 in the treatment group, versus 80.2 ± 1.64 in the control group (p=0,003). Conclusion: Early administration of low molecular weight hydrolyzed collagen is safe and significantly enhances functional outcomes, supporting knee joint rehabilitation following arthroscopic ACL reconstruction
