Abstract

Complete traumatic injuries of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are the most common knee injury among physically active males and females who are fond of both traditional and extreme sports. Surgical restoration of the anatomical structures of the injured joint, even with isolated ACL damage, remains an urgent problem of modern traumatology and orthopedics. The technology of arthroscopic reconstruction of the ACL is developing along the path of improving the technique of surgery, fixators, plastic materials. The article is devoted to the study of the results of arthroscopic anatomical plastic surgery of the anterior cruciate ligament with autografts from the patellar ligament with two bone blocks and the hamstring flexor tendons. The study included 100 patients of the main group and the comparison group with chronic damage to the anterior cruciate ligament and chronic anterior instability of the knee joint, which were divided into two groups depending on the type of transplant used. Long-standing injuries of the anterior cruciate ligament were diagnosed based on the results of a clinical examination, radiography, magnetic resonance imaging, and hardware arthrometry. Excellent and good results of surgical treatment were obtained in most patients of both groups, however, the highest stabilization indicators of the knee joint were noted in the comparison group.

Keywords
