Endoscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction with Autogenous Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone: In Arthroscopic Second Look Cases / 대한정형외과학회잡지

ABSTRACT

Nineteen cases out of over 100 cases which had been reconstructed the deficient anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) by the bone-patellar tendon-bone(BPTB) autograft 12 months before or more(mean 15.8 months) were evaluated during the second-look arthroscopy. Before the second-look, the patients were evaluated the clinical results of ACL reconstruction by the Müller's knee rating score and the radiographical results by the lateral roentgenography of the fully extended knees. The location of the center of tibial tunnel from the anterior end of the line of the tibial plateau was 35.2%(range, 22 to 47%) on average. The average intercondylar roof angle was 36.6 degrees(range, 28 to 45 degrees). The mean percentage of roof impingement was
