Aim: In this study, we aimed to present prospective follow-up results of patients who were reconstructed with bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft for ACL rupture.
Material and Methods: Twenty-seven patients were operated for ACL rupture with bone-patellar tendon-bone(B-PT-B) autograft ACL reconstruction. Patients were followed for at least 2 years. Patients were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively with Lysholm knee function score, IKDC objective score and Tegner activity level scale.
Results: All of operated patients were male. The mean age of the patients was 25.4 (range 19-35 years). The mean follow-up time was 27.9 (range 24-30 months). There was a statistically significant increase in postoperative knee scores. Hematoma, requiring surgical drainage, developed in two patients. Six patients had anterior knee pain while kneeling.
Conclusion: Patients with ACL rupture showed increase in knee stability and functional scores after reconstruction. Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with B-PT-B autograft incorporates and heals faster with low rerupture and complication rate.
Key words: Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture; Knee Arthroscopy; Sport Injury.
