STUDY OF FUNCTIONAL OUTCOMES OF ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT RECONSTRUCTION USING DIFFERENT AUTOGRAFTS IN ADULTS AT TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL- PROSPECTIVE STUDY

Abstract

Introduction-The Anterior Cruciate ligament (ACL) is the primary stabilizer of the knee and prevents the knee joint mobility against anterior tibial translation. It is also important in counteracting rotational and valgus stress. Anterior cruciate ligament rupture is the most common knee ligament injury. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is performed using different grafts. Allografts, autografts and synthetic grafts have been used with variable success rates In this prospective observational study a total of 15 patients who Materials and Methods: underwent ACL reconstruction at orthopedics department at new civil hospital surat during the period of 1 year where taken. The Lysholm Knee Scoring Results: Scale of pre and post operative patients taken and compared and found excellent outcome Overall per Conclusion: oneus graft outcome is also better for ACL injury repair as well as Hamstring graft.
