ABSTRACT
Introduction: Currently, anterior cruciate ligament lesions have an increased frequency; their management is predominantly surgical; there are several functional assessment systems.
Material and methods: We used the IKDC (International Knee Documentation Committee) functional assessment in patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction at the Xoco Hospital Arthroscopy Service.
Results: A total of 73 patients underwent functional assessment; 43 underwent bone-tendon-bone (BTB) repair with patellar tendon graft and 30 underwent repair with pes anserinus tendon graft (T4). In the former group 39 patients had favorable results and 4 unfavorable results; in the latter group 27 patients had favorable results and 3 unfavorable results.
Discussion: The results found do not differ significantly between both groups, something that is in agreement with the reviewed literature. The study should be continued with a larger sample size to eliminate variables and obtain more reliable results.
