ABSTRACT

Introduction: The anterior cruciate ligament injury is common in physically active populations.
Method: A quasi-experimental study was conducted with the objective of evaluating the results of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using the technique bonetendon- bone assisted by arthroscopy. The universe of study was made up by 13 patients treated from June, 2009 to April, 2010, who had diagnosis of anterior cruciate ligament injury and who met the inclusion criteria. As evaluation scale, the form of the knee study group of the Swiss Society of Orthopedics (OAK) is used.
Results: The majority (69.8%) was male and the average age was 29.8 years. The high level of activity was 61.5%. Total rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (76.9%) prevailed. OAK form before surgery showed very low maximum scores by category: pain / effusion (10, 8 vs. 18, 9 de 20 maximum scores p = 0,001); range of motion / force (11.0 vs. 13.8 15 maximum points with p = 0.004); stability (17.0 vs. 38.8 40 peaks with p = 0.001) and function (10.9 vs. 23.3 25 peaks with p 0.001). The qualitative and quantitative overall results showed significant differences (49.0 vs. 98.4 100 maximum points with p = 0.001). At 2 years of evolution 69.2% performed their usual activities.
Conclusions: this technique showed excellent results in 92,3 % of the cases.
