Abstract
Since 1986, we have been performing arthroscopically aided double stay reconstruction using the iliotibial tract for repair of the anterior cruciate ligament deficient knee. Eighty-five patients with a minimum follow-up of 2 years were reviewed. Nearly a full range of motion had been achieved in all patients. The pivot shift test was negative in 75 patients (88%), and the average knee rating score according to the Cincinnati Knee Score was 94.3 points. The average side-to-side difference in tibial displacement was 2.3mm in KT-1000 arthrometric measurments, and 18 patients (21%) showed a difference of more than 3.0 millmeters. Recurrent patholaxity was frequently observed in early cases where the tibial bone tunnel was located anterioly and where notch plasty had not been perfomed.
