Abstract
Introduction to compare between interference screw fixation and implant free technique in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using semitendinosus and gracilis auto graft.
Patients and methods this prospective study included 60young active patients. There were 56 males and 4 females. The mean age was27 years (range20-35). The mean follow-up was 24 months (range 12–48). Patients were evaluated using subjective as well as objective International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) assessment forms,
Results Assessment using IKDC scoring revealed that 90 %of the patients had normal or nearly normal knee (IKDC score of A/B). Postoperative level of activity was excellent in 85 %of patients.
Conclusion This study showed that implant free technique in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using semitendinosus and gracilis auto graft
ACL reconstruction is comparable to interference screw fixation in clinical out come
