Özet

Objective: To compare the clinical and functional outcomes of two different graft fixation methods, all-inside and anteromedial (AM), for single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction techniques. Methods: Comparing the mid-term results of two groups, the prospectively recorded data of patients diagnosed with isolated ACL rupture between 2015 and 2016 were reviewed retrospectively. Two groups of patients who underwent unilateral isolated ACL reconstruction via two different tibial fixation techniques (19 patients with all-inside [Group 1]; 20 patients with AM portal [Group 2]) from the same institution were enrolled as the study group. The patients were called for the final follow-up and evaluated for symptoms, knee stability (Lachman test, pivot shift test, and KT-1000 arthrometer analysis), and functional scores (Tegner and Lysholm knee scoring scale, technique. Level of Evidence III, Case Control Study.
