Journal Title: Journal of Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬Abstract Purpose. To review the results of patients who underwent arthroscopic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) done in IGIMS. Methods. Patients having symptomatic ACL-deficient knees and who wanted to continue an active lifestyle or maintain sporting activities were included. ACL reconstruction using the quadrupled hamstring autografts in more than 100 patients were done . One-year follow up was completed in 56 patients who were then reviewed. The mean age of patients reviewed was 26.8 years (range, 21–39 years), of whom 35 (62.5%) were aged between 26 and 30 years. There were 52 male and 4 female patients (ratio, 13:1). Injuries on the left side was greater than right (32 versus 24).Both motor vehicle accidents as well as Sports injuries accounted for 46.4% (n=26) of patients, while household injuries accounted for 7.2% (n=4). Results. Excellent and good-to-excellent results were achieved in 6 (10.7%) and 40 (71.4%) of patients respectively. Residual knee swelling (n=13) was the most common complication, followed by difficulty in regaining full range of motion (n=9) and divergence of femoral screw (n=6). Conclusion. This procedure at IGIMS provided consistent and reproducible results and allowed patients, an early return to daily activities with minimal morbidity.
