Highlights
The Anterior Cruciate ligament (ACL) is the primary stabilizer of the knee and prevents the knee against anterior translation
ACL associated with medial meniscus injury in 8(26.6%) and ACL associated with lateal meniscus injury in 2(7.2%)
Post operative complications like Anterior knee pain in three patients(10%) treated with analgesics, Infection (Superficial)in one patient (3.3%) treated with intravenous antibiotics, deep Infection in one patient (3.3%) treated with intravenous antibiotics with debridement, hardware removal and extensor lag in one patient (3.3%) treated with rehabilitation
Summary
The Anterior Cruciate ligament (ACL) is the primary stabilizer of the knee and prevents the knee against anterior translation. The surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament with auto graft represents an attempt to reestablish knee kinematics. During the period of December 2015 to November 2017 in ACL injuries, reconstruction of ACL using autologous quadruple hamstrings graft. Results: The present study consists of 30 cases of complete ACL tear treated surgically with arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. Conclusion: Clinical outcome after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using autologous quadrupled hamstrings graft with post operative rehabilitation is excellent to good and patients will have near normal pre injury activity level. The Anterior Cruciate ligament (ACL) is the primary stabilizer of the knee and prevents the knee against anterior translation.[1] ACL important in counteracting rotational and valgus stress. After ACL injury patients experience recurrent episodes of instability, pain and decreased function which is more noticed while weight bearing and turning to side
