Abstract

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of anatomical single bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using outside-in technique by clinical outcome analysis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From July 2009 to July 2010, 41 cases of single bundle ACL reconstruction using outside-in technique which were followed minimum 1 year were enrolled. Clinical results were evaluated using International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective knee evaluation score, Lysholm score, pivot shift test, one leg hop test, KT-1000 arthrometer test, Telos stress arthrometer test.
RESULTS
IKDC subjective knee score and Lysholm score were improved to 86.1+/-2.1 and 91.2+/-3.8 postoperatively (p<0.0001 and p<0.0001, respectively). KT-1000 arthrometer test and Telos stress arthrometer test also were improved to 2.2+/-0.9 mm and 2.3+/-1.2 mm (p<0.0001 and p<0.0001, respectively). Pivot shift test and one leg hop test revealed good results.
CONCLUSION
Anatomical single bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using outside-in technique showed good clinical results, so it was considered available method.
