Functional Outcome of Arthroscopic Reconstruction of Anterior Cruciate Ligament using Quadrupled Semitendinosis Autograft
Journal Title: MVP Journal of Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: The anterior cruciate ligament is truly a "CRUCIAL" ligament of the knee. It prevents anterior translation of tibia over femur and has definite role in providing rotational stability of knee. The aim is to restore ligamentous stability and preserving a functional pain free range of motion of knee. The graft has initial load to failure greater than native ACL, its stiffness more closely approximates native ACL. Material and Methods: This study was conducted in department of orthopaedics of NDMVP'S Medical college and hospital. 25 cases with "Tear/Rupture" anterior cruciate ligament were treated with arthroscopic reconstruction with quadrupled semitendinosus graft. Patients were assessed for the functional outcome using Tegner Lysholm score. Results: All 25 cases had fair to excellent functional outcomes. Conclusion: Arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction "using quadrupled semitendonosus" is an effective method and gives stable fixation with excellent results.
