Journal Title: Journal of Orthopaedic Education - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1

Abstract

Introduction: Isolated ACL injuries account for about half of the knee injuries in a given year. ACL tears are common in young active persons 70% occurring during sports activities. In general, the incidence of ACL injury is higher in people who participate in high­risk sports, such as basketball, football, skiing, and cricket. Methodology: As soon as the patient is admitted, a detailed history was taken & meticulous examination of the patient was done. The required information was recorded in the proforma. The patient’s Knee radiographs were taken in AP & Lateral views. The diagnosis was established by clinical & Radiological examination. Initially in patients with acute knee injuries, the Knee is immobilized in a long knee brace till reduction of Haemarthrosis / Joint effusion. Results: The functional outcome was fair in 60% of patients, 20% of patients had poor results and 20% of patients had excellent functional outcome. Conclusion: Males are more prone for anterior cruciate ligament injuries.Household injuries and sports related injury are the most common modes of injury.
