Arthroscopic Single-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using the Quadrupled Hamstring Tendon Graft: A Single-Institution Experience From North-Eastern India

Background There is a lack of literature regarding the arthroscopic approach to single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using quadrupled hamstring tendon graft in north-eastern Indian population. Methodology A prospective, single-center study was planned for patients with ACL tears according eligibility criteria and defined surgical protocol. Patients were followed up from preoperative period at least one year, knee function evaluated International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective score Lysholm score. Results total 29 mean 14.6 months (12-22 months). The age 26.83 ± 7.50 years, male:female ratio 4.8:1 almost equal involvement both knees. statistically significant improvement (p<0.001) results Lachman test, drawer pivot shift IKDC score, No intraoperative or postoperative complications found present study. Discussion shows that anatomical grafts minimally invasive, safe, effective procedure provides anteroposterior rotational stability good excellent functional outcomes.
