Abstract
BACKGROUND Arthroscopic Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is most common surgery in orthopaedic practice. Various types of grafts are available for reconstruction, hamstring tendon graft is commonly used with excellent results. The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional outcome of arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction by quadrupled single bundle hamstring graft through accessory anteromedial portal by clinical outcome score international knee documentation committee (IKDC). MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective study was done. 30 patients were included in the study based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. All patients underwent arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with autogenous hamstring tendon graft. All patients were followed up according to postoperative rehabilitation protocol. At final follow up functional assessment was done according to IKDC. RESULTS All cases were males, majority of the patients belonged to 20-30 years age group. The most common cause was sports injuries (53.33%) followed by road traffic accidents (26.66%). 100% patients presented with giving way of the knee. Clicking of knee was appreciated in 66.66%. Swelling and pain was seen in 60% patients. According to IKDC score postoperative recovery as normal was seen in 90% patients whereas 3 patients (10%) graded recovery as abnormal. CONCLUSION Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction with autogenous hamstring graft gives high success rate in view of functional outcome.
