Comparison of Clinical Outcomes Between All-Inside and Complete Tibial Tunnel Techniques in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Among Patients With ACL Ruptures

Comparison of Clinical Outcomes Between All-Inside and Complete Tibial Tunnel Techniques in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Among Patients With ACL Ruptures

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

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.
