On clinical examination there was a mild swelling of the right knee joint, with retro-patellar tenderness. Results of Lachman test, anterior and posterior drawer tests, and varus and valgus stress tests were normal. Radiographic findings suggested a normal report (...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to objectively evaluate the anatomic and biomechanical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with transtibial versus anteromedial portal drilling of the femoral tunnel. METHODS Ten human cadaveric knees (5 matched pairs) without ligament injury or pre-existing arthritis underwent ACL reconstruction by either a transtibial or anterome...

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...

We aimed to summarize the effectiveness and changing trends of reconstruction for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) posterior (PCL) injuries using all-inside arthroscope technique. Between May 2013 2019, 29 patients with ACL PCL ligaments rupture were included. All male, a mean age 25.2±2.9 years. The follow-up period was 2.4±0.7 years (Range, 2-4 years). Reconstruction surgery performed by auto...

PURPOSE We evaluated the clinical and radiological outcomes of double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using an outside-in technique with a follow-up of two- to six-years, especially in terms of the sports activity level and radiological degeneration. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-seven patients who were available for a minimum two-year follow-up after double-bundle ACL re...

PURPOSE In anatomical single-bundle (SB) anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, the traditional transtibial approach can limit anatomical placement of the femoral tunnel. SURGICAL TECHNIQUE We present a novel three-point freehand technique that allows for anatomic SB ACL reconstruction with the transtibial technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between January 2012 and December 2012, 55...
