Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

The percentage of therapeutic success, defined by the absence of extension defect at M3 post ligamentoplasty, will be compared between the groups by a Chi-2 test.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Monocentric, prospective, randomised, double-blind study of two parallel groups of 66 patients with post-reconstruction ACL hamstring contracture treated with an ultrasound-guided injection at two points on the body of the hamstring Group 1: botulinum toxin: 100 units (0.5ml) in 1 injection Group 2: placebo: 0.5 ml in 1 injection
Detailed Description
The study includes three assessments: one month after ligamentoplasty (inclusion visit) and then at M2 and M5. The therapeutic benefit of the study treatments is based on the evolution of the extension defect at M2.
