Functional outcome of bone patellar tendon bone graft in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is the commonest ligamentous injury to knee joint. Various surgical methods have been described for anterior reconstruction with different kinds of grafts which own merits and demerits. Bone patellar tendon bone commonly used autograft ACL reconstruction.Aim this study was analyse functional outcome following arthroscopic using Bone- -bone graft (BTB)
 Materials methods: This a prospective 32 patients awith average age 27 years (range: 19-51 years) between 2017 2019. Patients were treated by arthroscpically bone- tendon- graft. Appropriate post-operative care & physiotherapy given. The evaluation done at 3 month, 6month 1year follow up. Based on clinical test we evaluate stability joint normal function.We also usedTegner Lysholm score VAS results.
 Results: 93 % had or near function clinically.88% excellent as per Tegner lysholmknee scoring system. out patient no pain end 1 year.The complications observed (10%), numbness over donor site (8%).
 Conclusion: bone-patellar tendon-bone method can provide very good based objective subjective assessments .Early return daily activities possible improving function.
