Functional Evaluation of Arthroscopic Anatomical ACL Reconstruction - A prospective study

Sankaralal. T, S. Rajadurai, M. Shiyam

Abstract :

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is one of the commonest ligament injuries of knee accounting for200,000 tears in a year. It ofen leads to anterior knee instability and in these cases surgical treatment is necessary to restore normal knee stability and to protect knee from further injury. ACL injury patients<50 year old with or without meniscal injury were included in the study and those with degenerative knee changes were excluded from the study. Overall single bundle anatomical ACL reconstruction produces better clinical results to that of double bundle technique and it is less technically demanding procedure. Single bundle ACL reconstruction with hamstring tendon graft fixed at anatomical ACL footprints provides consistent good functional results.
