Comparative Study of Different Methods of Graft Fixation in ACL Reconstruction
Journal Title: Journal of Orthopaedic Education - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Contact sports produce injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) secondary to twisting, valgus stress, or hyperextension all directly related to contact or collision, When matched for activities, a greater prevalence for ACL injury is found in females compared with males. Methodology: The surgery was done with patient supine under spinal anaesthesia or general anaesthesia, under tourniquet control. Initial diagnostic arthroscopy was done using standard arthroscopic portols and the status of both menisci, Anterior cruciate ligament, Posterior cruciate ligament was noted. Partial meniscectomy was done in cases where it was indicated. Results: Knee score was excellent in 18 cases of titanium screw group and 20 cases of bioscrew group. One Patient in bioscrew group had fair result. Among 50 patients in the group, 49 cases had good to excellent results in fair and 1 case. Conclusion: Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction with BPTB graft and interference screw fixation affords excellent subjective results and good clinical ligament stability.
