Summary

This study aims to compare the functional outcomes of patients with ACL rupture following ACL reconstruction surgery using hamstring grafts, between the all-inside technique and the complete tibial tunnel technique. The hamstring graft, which serves as the tissue substitute for the damaged ACL, is harvested from the posterior thigh of the patient and used to replace the torn ligament during reconstruction

Detailed description

This Study was conducted usingdouble blind randomized controlled trial (RCT), patients who agree to participate in the study will be randomized to undergo ACL reconstruction using either the All-inside technique or the complete tibial tunnel technique. Clinical outcomes, including tibial translation, pain severity, IKDC score, and Tegner score, will be evaluated through anamnesis and physical examination at the outpatient orthopedic clinic at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postoperatively.

Conditions

• Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	All-Inside Techniques	All-inside ACL reconstruction technique avoids creating full-length bone tunnels. Instead, it uses retrograde drilling to form bone sockets, and the graft is secured with adjustable-loop suspensory fixation on both the femur and tibia.
PROCEDURE	Complete Tibial Tunnel techniques	Complete Tibial Tunnel Technique is a conventional technique for ACL reconstruction which involves the creation of full-length bone tunnels in the tibia for graft passage via an anterograde approach. Graft fixation is typically achieved using a bio-interference screw on the tibial side and a fixed-loop suspensory device on the femoral side
