A study of functional outcome in patients undergoing arthroscopic reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament injury using hamstring tendon graft with interference screws
Abstract:The Anterior Cruciate Ligament is the primary stabilizer of the knee and prevents the knee against anterior translation. It is also important in counteracting the rotational and valgus stress. The arthroscopically aided approach has the advantages of smaller skin and capsular incisions, improved viewing of the intercondylar notch for placement of the tunnel and attachment sites, less postoperative pain, fewer adhesions, earlier motion and easier rehabilitation. Approximately 100,000 anterior cruciate ligament … Show more
