1. Abstract
1.1. Background: The purpose of our study is to assess functional outcomes of ACL Reconstruction with autologous Peroneus Longus tendon using button fixation on both femur and tibial sides.
1.2. Method: In this study, 54 patients with ACL injuries operated for ACL reconstruction using Peroneus longus tendon and button fixation at both femur and tibial side. All the patients were followed for at least 1 year and they all underwent a minimum of 4 weeks of physiotherapy postoperatively.
1.3. Results: Post reconstruction functional outcomes were assessed using IKDC scoring system. According to subjective IKDC scoring, 69 (75%) results were excellent, 12(15%) were good, 6(7.5%) were satisfactory and 2(2.5%) were bad.
1.4. Conclusion: ACL reconstruction with autologous Peroneus Longus tendon using button fixation on both femur and tibial sides has excellent functional outcomes.
