Abstract

Background: Although theoretically superior to traditional technique, anatomical single bundle ACLR via all-inside technique does not appear to demonstrate statistically significant advantages over conventional technique, as with the Lysholm scoring system. Aim of the work: This study compared the post-operative clinical outcomes of arthroscopic ACL restoration using the "all-inside approach" versus the "traditional procedure". Patients and Methods: Between March 2020 and December 2021, fifty patients were admitted to the department of Orthopedic surgery and Traumatology in Sayed Galal University Hospital with torn ACL exhibiting high grade pivot shift (II or III) under anesthesia. Results: The mean age of the patients was (28.55 ± 8.57) years in group I and (28.75 ± 7.71) in group II. The mean duration of symptoms was (8.95 ± 6.09) months in group I and (10.28 ± 10.42) months in group II. The overall results at the sixth months were considered as excellent in Group I had five cases (33.33%) with excellent results and four cases (26.67 %) with good results. In group II, nine cases were excellent (60%) and three cases (20%) were good. In the 6th months, Group I mean was (85.50 ± 11.10) and group II was (91.90 ± 8.94) which was statiscally insignificant.
