Abstract: Arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is standard procedure for ACL deficient knee with episodic or recurrent knee instability. Two described techniques one is transtibial and another one transportal (anteromedial portal) for femoral tunnel formation in Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction are described. Present study is to identify differences in functional outcome and surgical analysis between both techniques in single bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with quadrupled semitendinosus and gracilis graft.
