Journal Title: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics Surgery - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction The Anterior Cruciate ligament ACL is the primary stabilizer of the knee and prevents the knee against anterior translation Arthroscopic reconstruction of torn ACL has become the gold standard in treating ACL tears The surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament with auto graft represents an attempt to reestablish knee kinematicsMaterials and Methods This is a prospective type of study conducted at NRI Medical College General Hospital Chinna Kakani Guntur Andhra Pradesh During the period of December 2015 to November 2017 in ACL injuries reconstruction of ACL using autologous quadruple hamstrings graft All the cases were operated electivley on regular operation theatre daysResults The present study consists of 30 cases of complete ACL tear treated surgically with arthroscopic ACL reconstruction In age distribution 10 333 patients were between 1824 years 13433 were between 2531 years and 7233 were between 3238 years In sex distribution there were 27 90 males and 310 females Left lower limb was involved in 12 40 cases and right lower limb in 18 60 cases All the cases were operated electivley on regular operation theatre days ACL associated with medial meniscus injury in 8266 and ACL associated with lateal meniscus injury in 272 Chronic ACL injury in 227333 and acute ACL injury in 8266 Post operative complications like Anterior knee pain in three patients10 treated with analgesics Infection Superficialin one 33 treated with intravenous antibiotics deep Infection in one 33 treated with intravenous antibiotics debridement finally hardware removal and extensor lag in one 33 treated with rehabilitationConclusion 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 levelKeywords Anterior Cruciateligament ACL Quadruple hamstrings graft Arthroscopy
