Summary

1. Purpose :To compare of femoral tunnel placement, tunnel geometry and clinical outcome using two anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction techniques ; transportal technique with flexible reamer and single bundle outside in technique with remnant preservation. 2. Subjects: anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury 66 patients * Double bundle transportal technique with flexible reamer: 33 * Single bundle outside in technique with remnant preservation: 33

Detailed description

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury patients : Total 66 1. Double bundle transportal technique with flexible reamer: 33 * Advantage: more normal ACL reconstruction than single bundle technique * Disadvantage: to make the two bone tunnel must remove all the residual tissue. 2. Single bundle outside in technique with remnant preservation: 33 * Advantage: good for being synovium and revascularization. Remained proprioception function helps to functional recovery. * Disadvantage: difficult to ensure of visibility and tunnel drilling in the correct position because of remnant tissue.

Conditions

• Rupture of Anterior Cruciate Ligament
