1. Abstract
The purpose of our study is to assess functional outcomes of arthroscopic ACL reconstruction with the use of peroneus longus autograft.
1.1. Method: In this study, 80 patients with ACL injuries had their knees arthroscopically repaired with peroneus longus autograft. On the femoral side, an endobutton was employed to secure the graft, while on the tibial end, a bioabsorbable screw was used. All the patients were followed for at least 1 year and they all underwent a minimum of 4 weeks of physiotherapy postoperatively.
1.2. Results: Post reconstruction functional outcomes were assessed using IKDC scoring system. According to subjective IKDC scoring, 60 (75%) results were excellent, 12(15%) were good, 6(7.5%) were satisfactory and 2(2.5%) were bad.
