Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the surgical management of anterior cruciate ligament injuries by arthroscopic reconstruction using semitendinosus grafts. Methodolgy: This study was conducted by Dibba Hospital Fujairah, United Arab Emirates from March 2017- to March 2020. A total of 40 patients were selected for this research.   In our study, we used arthroscopy assisted ACL reconstruction technique with single bundle quadrupled semitendinosus tendon autograft. This autograft was inserted from the ipsilateral limb with the help of endobutton femoral side of graft was fixed and with bioabsorbable screw tibial side of graft was stabilized. A single surgeon performed all the surgeries. Results: In our observations, we reported that the majority of the patients had exposure of ACL injury in their middle adult age (32-38 years old) due to high engagement in physical activities (67.8%) like biking, playing sports and many others. The ratio of right knee injury site was comparatively high (53.5%) than the left one (46.4%). Conclusion: From the results, we concluded that the younger age group is more prone to anterior Cruciate ligament injury. ACL reconstruction with Semitendinosus tendon autograft helps in maintaining knee movement and assist in early knee stability.

Aims and Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the knee stability and subjective outcome after primary ACL reconstruction using either autologous semitendinosus or quadriceps tendon. Materials and Methods: We evaluated a total of 50 patients who underwent ACL reconstruction - including 25 using the ipsilateral semitendinosus tendon (group I) and 25 patients with autologous quadriceps tendon graft (group II). The follow-up of this prospective comparative study was at least two years after surgery, comprising clinical assessment according to the International Documantation Committee (IKDC), KT1000 arthrometer testing and an additional questionnaire including the Knee Injury Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and the Lysholm score. Results: The mean postoperative side-to-side difference assessed by KT1000 arthrometer was 1.8mm for group I and 1.7mm for group II with no statistically significant difference. There was no statistically significant difference neither in the individual KOOS subscores nor the Lysholm score. No re-rupture or positive pivot-shift test occurred during follow-up for both groups. Conclusion: Semitendinosus- as well as quadriceps tendon are both equal regarding their clinical outcome. Thus, the quadriceps tendon may serve as a good alternative graft for primary ACL reconstruction.
