Abstract
Background: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the primary stabilizing structure of the knee. The present study was conducted to compare the management of ACL ligament. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted on 120 patients with ACL ligament. Patients were divided into 2 groups. Group I (60) underwent transportal technique and group II (60) underwent transtibial technique. In both techniques associated injury, type of injury and complications were recorded. Results: In group I, males were 20 and females were 40. Group II had 35 males and 25 females. In group I, 15 were acute and 45 were chronic injury, in group II, 20 were acute and 40 were chronic injury. 12 in group I and 16 in group II had associated injuries. 2 in group I and 1 in group II had complications. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). In group I score was 96.2 and in group II, it was 98.4. Pivot shift was negative in 54 score in group I and 56 in group II. It was positive in 6 in group I and 4 in group II. The difference was significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: ACL injury is quite common in all age groups.
