Background: The anterior cruciate ligament is vital in ensuring the stability of knee. If the anterior cruciate ligament is broken, the knee will be unstable and painful which will affect the mobility of the patients. Objective: To evaluate the postoperative care of patients for reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament. Subject and Method: The reconstructions of the anterior cruciate ligament with the patellar autogenous ligament were carried out in 116 knees. The patients were evaluated with a KT-1000 arthrometer. Result: 3 months after the operation, 10 patients (8.6%) had lost extension > 15o, 13 patients had lost flexion > 5o. After 12 months, only 2 patients (1.7%) with loss of extension > 15o, 2 patients with loss of extension > 5o. Conclusion: Reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament with the autogenous patellar provided positive results. 6 months after surgery 90% of patients recovered knee function with a low rate of complications. Suitable physiotherapy exercises can increase treatment results.

Endoscopic ACL reconstruction using bone-patellar tendon-bone has been considered the gold standard in the field of reconstructive ACL surgery. Technically, graft must be placed at isometric point. But it is difficult to evaluate the placement of graft postoperatively. The purpose of this study is to determine the radiological ideal position of graft by comparing postoperative results with the graft placement. Seventy cases of endoscopic ACL reconstruction were reviewed and classified according to the femoral and tibial graft position on radiologic imaging. The femoral graft position was classified in relation to angle of graft on anterior position view and distance from posterior margin of graft to the inner surface of posterior cortex on lateral view. The tibial graft position was classified in relation to intercondylar eminence on anterior posterior view and lateral view. Knee score (modified Marshall, Lysholum), manual anterior instability test (Lachman test, Pivot shift test) and arthrometer measurement were checked to evaluate postoperative results in each case. The results of this study implicate that knee joint in which femoral graft was oriented at direction of 11 o clock centring around 68 degree respect to tibial joint and placed within 3mm from posterior cortex showed higher knee score and lesser laxity. In cases of tibial side, the graft oriented to intercondylar eminence (AP view) and placed anterior to intercondylar eminence (lateral view) showed higher knee score and lesser laxity.

Bilateral patella tendon rupture is rare, particulary when associated with osteogenesis imperfecta. Brittleness of the bone in osteogenenesis imperfect patients may cause this rupture. We report on this rare case and suggest the direct repair with the additional wire loop as a proper treatment option for patients with the substantial rupture of patella tendon.
