Abstract:
Objective To study the reasons, patterns of the injury and methods of early reconstruction of the articular cartilage injuries associated with the rupture of anterior cruciate ligament(ACL). Methods The pathologic change, location, degree of articular cartilage lesion were observed in 64 old ACL ruptures and 23 fresh ones by arthroscopy. The relationship between the incidence， duration of the injury, degree of cartilage injury and ACL ruptures, the correlation between the cartilage injury of femoral condyles and meniscus injury were studied. Results The incidence of articular cartilage injury in old ACL rupture group(75％ ) was significantly higher than that in fresh group(26％ )(P
