Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) reconstruction using autologous multi-strands of hamstring tendon.Method From May 2002 to Dec.2006,arthroscopic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament using multi-strands of hamstring tendon was performed on 39 patients.Among them,28 cases were followed up for 7 to 48 months(average 13.5±2.3 months).Result The median Lysholm knee score was improved from 47.3±3.6 to 91.3±2.9 after operation.Conclusion Arthruscopic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament using muhi-strands of hamstring tendons is a good alternative method with minimal invasion and convenient tendon harvesting and fewer complication and reliable clinical effect.
