Abstract: Background: Arthroscopic reconstruction of ACL is a well-accepted treatment of ACL injuries; however, no uniform consensus exists to decide type of fixation for arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Materials and Methods: A total of 30 patients underwent arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendons using endobutton on femoral side and interference screw on tibial side. The evaluation methods were clinical examination, Lysholm and IKDC score. Patients were followed up at the end of 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and 8 months and their functional outcome was assessed
Results: In our study of sample size 30 with male preponderance (93.33%). The mean age was 26.46 years. Mean post-operative Lysholm score was 87.95, mean post-operative IKDC score was 79.88 at the end of 8 months. 25 patients (83.3%) were able to return to their pre-injury activity.
Conclusion: Arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendons using endobutton and interference screw had good functional outcome.
