A comparison of preoperative scores prior to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with optimal preinjury scores and final scores at two-year follow up.

Aims: The aim of this study was to compare the preinjury functional scores with the postinjury preoperative score and postoperative outcome scores following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery (ACLR).

Methods: We performed a prospective study on patients who underwent primary ACLR by a single surgeon at a single centre between October 2010 and January 2018. Preoperative preinjury scores were collected at time of first assessment after the index injury.

Anteromedial Portal versus Transtibial Drilling Techniques for Femoral Tunnel Placement in Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Radiographic Evaluation and Functional Outcomes at 2 Years Follow-Up.

The aim of this study was to compare the functional and radiographic outcomes of arthroscopic single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) using either the anteromedial (AM) portal technique or transtibial (TT) technique. We identified 404 patients who underwent arthroscopic ACLR by a single surgeon between January 2006 and December 2016 at our institution. The TT portal was utilized in femoral tunnel drilling in 202 patients (TT group) while the AM portal was used in 202 patients (AM group).
