Functional outcome of arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using semitendinosus autograft – A prospective study
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Anterior cruciate ligament is most commonly injured ligament around the knee, Arthroscopic reconstruction of the Anterior cruciate ligament has many advantages over the open arthrotomy method. Autografts such as Semitendinosus and Bone Patellar tendon graft were commonly used for reconstruction. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was done from 2013 to 2015 to analyze the post-operative outcome of Arthroscopic Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with Semitendinosus autograft. Results: This study comprised of 25 patients and followed for minimum of 6 months. Success rate is 100 %, with 92% graded as excellent to good and rest 8 % with fair functional results. Conclusion: We conclude that Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction with quadrupled semitendinosus graft has good functional results and high success rate.
