Evaluation of Functional Outcome of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction using Bone-patellar Tendon-bone Graft
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Introduction: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction nowadays is probably the most common arthroscopic procedure of the knee and the choice of graft to be used for it is probably the most important decision to be made during the surgery. Various options are available and patellar tendon graft is one of them. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the midterm functional outcome of ACL reconstruction done by arthroscopic method using the bone-patellar tendon-bone graft fixed with interference screws. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in the Department of Orthopaedics, Government Madurai Medical College. A total of 36 cases were operated out of whom only 32 were available for a follow-up period of 18 months. The outcome was measured using lysholm scoring. Results: At the end of 24-month follow-up period, almost 80% of the patients had good to excellent results with no major graft-related complications. Conclusion: Bone-patellar tendon graft is a good option for ACL reconstruction with early rigid fixation permitting earlier rehabilitation and good functional outcome.
