Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is a knee ligament that is very important in maintaining the stability of the knee joint. The incidence of isolated ACL tears remain a common orthopaedic injury with significant increase in the rate of ACL reconstruction over time. Several types of autografts used for ACL reconstruction have some potential occurrence of donor site morbidity, including Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone (BPTB), hamstring tendon, and quadriceps tendon. Peroneus longus tendon can be an option as a graft donor because it has biomechanical characteristics that are not significantly different from the hamstring tendon. Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the functional outcome and donor site morbidity of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using peroneus longus tendon autograft. Methods: This study was an observational analytical with retrospective cohort design using medical record. The functional outcomes were assessed with IKDC, Modified Cincinnati, Tegner-Lysholm, and KSS scoring system 12 months after surgery. Donor site morbidity was assessed with AOFAS and FADI scoring system, eversion strength, and plantarflexion strength. Results: Seventy five patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria (59 males and 16 females). Mean of peroneus longus tendon graft diameters were 8.39 ± 0.69 mm (range 6.5-10 mm). Significant increase of functional score (p<0.05) were found 12 months after surgery. Mean score of IKDC was 55.26 ± 12.76 preoperative; 96.69 ± 3.36 postoperative, Modified Cincinnati was 65.45 ± 16.25 preoperative; 93.29 ± 7.04 postoperative, Tegner-Lysholm was 67.80 ± 15.29 preoperative; 89.71 ± 8.35 postoperative, KSS (Knee) was 65.33 ± 19.46 preoperative; 95.17 ± 5.94 postoperative, and KSS (Function) was 76.52 ± 20.25 preoperative; 93.20 ± 10.29 postoperative. Mean score of AOFAS was 98.93 ± 3.11 and FADI was 99.80 ± 0.59 at six months after surgery. The eversion and plantarflexion strength were not significantly different (p>0.05) between donor and contralateral side ankle. There was neurapraxia in 3 (4%) patients at six months postoperative. Conclusion: The peroneus longus tendon can be an ideal source of graft for ACL reconstruction because it has good functional outcome and minimal donor site morbidity.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most frequent injuries of the knee during different sports activities. Arthroscopic surgical reconstruction is the current standard of care for treatment of ACL injuries in young and active patients. The widespread adoption of ACL reconstruction over primary repair was based on early perception of the limited healing capacity of the ACL. Hamstring tendon is most favoured graft for ACL reconstruction. We wanted to study the outcomes particular method of fixation for fixing the hamstring tendon.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> In this study 30 patient with ACL injury were treated arthroscopically for the fixation of graft in bone tunnel we use endobutton for femur and suture disc for tibia as suspensor implant and prospective assessment of functional outcome using Tegner Lysholm knee scoring system.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> The preoperative activity level could be maintained in 70% of the patients. The Lysholm score showed very good and good results in 80%. Functional and stability results in about 70% of the patients.</p><strong>Conclusions:</strong>This surgical technique can be recommended for the active patient with ACL deficiency. The functional outcome of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with quadrupled semitendinosus tendon autograft using Endobutton and suture disc is good. This method of fixation will help the graft to facilitate graft tunnel healing and also maintain its strength until there is a good graft to bone healing occurs completely.

Background: No well-controlled studies have compared the long-term outcome of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft between adolescents and adults. Increased posterior tibial slopes (PTSs) have been reported in the ACL-injured versus controls, but the effect of PTS on the outcome after reconstruction is relatively unexplored. Purpose: To compare the prospective longitudinal outcome of “isolated” ACL ruptures treated with anatomic endoscopic ACL reconstruction using hamstring tendon autograft over 20 years in adolescent and adult cohorts and to examine factors for repeat ACL injury. Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A single-surgeon series of 200 consecutive patients undergoing isolated primary ACL reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft were prospectively studied. Subjects were assessed preoperatively and at 2, 7, 15, and 20 years postoperatively. Outcomes included International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Knee Evaluation, IKDC subjective scores, KT-1000 instrumented laxity testing, and radiological evaluation of degenerative change and medial tibial slope. Twenty-year outcomes were compared between those who underwent surgery at the age of 18 years or younger (adolescent group, n = 39) and those who underwent surgery when older than 18 years (adult group, n = 161). Results: At 20 years, 179 of 200 subjects were reviewed (89.5%). ACL graft rupture occurred in 37 subjects and contralateral ACL injury in 22 subjects. Of those with intact ACL grafts at 20 years, outcomes were not statistically different between adolescents and adults for the variables of IKDC subjective score ( P = .29), return to preinjury activity level ( P = .84), current activity level ( P = .69), or degree of radiological degenerative change at 20 years ( P = .51). The adolescent group had a higher proportion of grade 1 ligamentous laxity testing compared with the adult group ( P = .003). Overall, ACL graft survival at 20 years was 86% for adults and 61% for adolescents (hazard ration, 3.3; P = .001). The hazard for ACL graft rupture was increased by 4.8 in adolescent males and 2.5 in adolescent females compared with adults. At 20 years, the ACL survival for adolescents with a PTS of ≥12° was 22%. The hazard for ACL graft rupture was increased by 11 in adolescents with a PTS of ≥12° ( P = .001) compared with adults with a PTS <12°. Conclusion: Repeat ACL injury after isolated ACL reconstruction is common, occurring in 1 in 3 over 20 years. In the absence of further injury, isolated ACL reconstruction using this technique was associated with good long-term outcomes with respect to patient-reported outcomes and return to sports, regardless of age. However, mild ligament laxity and ACL graft rupture after ACL reconstruction are significantly more common in adolescents, especially adolescent males, compared with adults. PTS of 12° or more is the strongest predictor of repeat ACL injury, and its negative effect is most pronounced in adolescents.
