Ligament Reconstruction in Patients Operated Arthroscopically with Bone-Patellar Bone Graft Using Lysholm Score

Objective: To assess the mean Lysholm score after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction with a bone-patellar tendon-bone graft.
 Study Design: Prospective longitudinal study.
 Place and Duration of Study: Department Orthopaedic, Combined Military Hospital, Peshawar Pakistan, from Oct 2020 to Apr 2021.
 Methodology: Arthroscopic graft was performed in 70 patients. Baseline characteristics were recorded, patients followed up for six months. Functional outcome determined using score.
 Results: The age 32.38±11.83 years. majority, 59(84.3%) males. Of patients, 36(51.4%) had right knee involved. at baseline 50.46±6.93. At months, 85.49±9.05 difference found be statistically significant (p<0.001) paired t-test.
 Conclusion: Significant change months observed study sample. Reconstructing bone-patellar-tendon bone improved and, thus, functional outcome.Keywords: (ACL); Arthroscopy, Bone-patellar tendon-bone, score.
