Abstract
One of the most common injuries during sports is anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. A number of surgical and rehabilitation techniques have been developed. ACL reconstruction is mainstay of treatment. Objective: In this study we are evaluating the outcome of ACL surgery. Design & Setting: Retrospective study Methodology: Data collection of all cases that underwent primary arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction performed. All patients were operated with same surgical technique using quadrupled hamstring autograft. Results: There was an overall male predominance (95.3%). Medical meniscal injury was found in 05 (24%) patients. Lateral Meniscus injury was found in 04(19%) patients. Adjustable length CSF device was used in 12 (57%) patients and fixed-loop CSF device in 9 (43%) patients. Conclusion: At two years, outcome of ACL reconstruction performed by one surgeon using same surgical technique with adjustable CSF device and absorbable tibial screw granted satisfactory clinical results in all patients. Rehabilitation played an important role in return to activities of daily living in all patients at final follow up. Keywords: Anterior Cruciate Ligament, Arthroscopy, Rehabilitation
