Objective To study the clinical effect of anterior cruciate ligament(ACL) reconstruction with different grafts under arthroscope. Methods A retrospective analysis was done on 68 cases of ACL injury.ACL reconstruction with bonepatellar tendonbone autograft and interface screw fixation were performed in 26 cases(group A) and quadruple semitendinosus tendon autograft and endobutton plate fixationin in 38 cases (group B). ACL reconstruction with bonepatellar tendonbone allograft cryopreserved and interface screw fixation were performed in 4 cases (group C). Therewere 16 males and 10 females with an average age of 26.4 years (16-45 years) in group A, 24 males and 14 females with an average age of 24.6 years (13-48 years) in group B, and 3 males and 1 female (55-65 years) in group C. The left knee involved in 14 cases, 27 cases and 3 cases, and the right knee involved in 12 cases, 11 cases and 1 case in groups A, B and C, respectively. The disease courses were 1 week to 15 months (group A), 1 week to 16 months (group B) and 2 weeksto 28 months (group C).The intermediate myodynamic recovery, IKDC score and Lysholm score were compared among 3 groups. Results All patients were followed 12-36 months (17.5 months in group A, 18.5 months in group B and 16.5 months in group C). No intra articular infection, phlebothrombosis of leg, vascular injury and nerve injury occurred. Lysholm scores was increased from preoperative 65.3±4.8 to postoperative 95.1±4.3 in group A, from 68.4±5.6 to 93.0±5.9 in group B and from 60.3±6.7 to 92.2±4.3(excellent in 3 cases and good in 1 case) in group C; the excellent and good rates were 88.5% (excellent in 18 cases, good in 5 cases and fair in 3 cases) in group A, 86.8% (excellent in 28 cases, good in 5 cases and fair in 5 cases) in group B, IKDC scores were 93.7±3.8 (group A), 95.7±4.7 (group B) and 94.8±3.6(group C); the knee joint functions were normal in 19 cases(73.1%), in 30 cases (78.9%) and in 3 cases, were fair in 5 cases (19.2%), in 5 cases (13.2%) and in 1 cases in groups A, B and C respectively. Conclusion The transplantation of bonepatellar tendonbone autograft , quadruple semitendinosustendon autograft and bonepatellar tendonbone allograft all can reconstruct and strengthen the stability of knee joint. Bonepatellar tendonbone allograft is better selection for the ACL injury in elder and quadruple semitendinosus tendon autograft is suitable to adolescent patients with disrupted ACL.
