Abstract
Background: Arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is the most commonly performed arthroscopic procedure performed worldwide.
Material and Methods: Patients operated between January 2013 to February 2014were included in study.
Result: Out of 44 patients 4 were lost to follow up. Eventually our sample size became 40 out of which Interference Screw group comprised of 20 patients and Suspensory Fixation group comprised of 20 patients.
Conclusion: All of our patients reported satisfactory outcomes regardless the procedure adopted. Younger age group and non-meniscal injury group shows better outcome.
Keywords: Arthroscopy, ACL.
