Abstract Background To illustrate a novel technique of treating anterior cruciate ligament injury. Methods If the ACL stump is strong enough and of good quality, we combine the ACL reconstruction and repair together. Results It is assumed that this will be better for the knee biomechanics in contrast to the simple reconstruction. This technique may also save the graft. That means we can only harvest one tendon gracilis or semitendinosus to satisfy the need of the knee stability. Conclusions This technique of combining the reconstruction and repair protects the knee proprioceptive feelings, accelerate the revascularization and strengthen the reconstructed ACL. This technique may also save the ligament graft and avoid the complications of the donor site. We are looking forward to comparing the outcomes of this technique to the outcomes of simple ACL reconstruction.

Abstract If the ACL stump is strong enough and of good quality, we combine the ACL reconstruction and repair together. The main aim of this technique is to retain the autologous ACL stump to protect the proprioception and accelerate the revascularization and may even promote the healing of the bone to tendon. It is assumed that this will be better for the knee biomechanics in contrast to the simple reconstruction. This technique may also save the graft. That means we can only harvest one tendon gracilis or semitendinosus to satisfy the need of the knee stability.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction has become one of the most commonly performed arthroscopic surgeries. Inspite of extensive research on available autograft options, controversy still persists regarding the ideal graft. Allograft tendons usage in orthopedic operations has increased because of its advantages. This study was conducted to assess the functional outcome in patients undergoing ACL reconstruction with soft tissue allografts.</span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">15 patients with Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury presenting from 2012-2014 who underwent Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction with soft tissue allograft were the subjects of this Prospective study. Assessment of the involved knee was performed to obtain subjective measures of the clinical outcomes of the ACL reconstruction.

Introductions: A rupture of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is the most common ligament injury resulting in instability of the knee which can cause secondary articular injury and early osteoarthritis (OA). Aim of this study was to evaluate the short term outcomes of ACL reconstruction using Bone Patellar Tendon Bone Auto Graft (BPTB) auto graft and factors that might contribute to poor results. Methods: Patients with Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury during the period of July 2013 to May 2014 were enrolled to observe the outcome of the ACL reconstruction using BPTB without arthroscopy. Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale was used to determine the clinical outcome. Outcome parameters were evaluated using Statistical Package for Social Science Version 20 (SPSS). Results: Total 30 normal or near normal function outcome of knee was reported in 29 (97%) patients after ACL reconstruction using BPTB without arthroscopy. There was no failure of grafts. Good static knee stability achieved with increased patient’s satisfaction. Lysholm Score was excellent in 27 (90%) and good in 3 (10 %) cases. Anterior knee pain persisted in 6 cases (20%). Conclusions: Excellent functional outcome with BPTB auto graft in Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury was achieved.
