Abstract：Objective To explore the clinical effect of arthroscopic treatment for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.Methods From Mar.2010 to Mar.2012,69 cases (67 males and 2 females) of acute ACL ruptures were performed reconstruction surgery,with an average age of 27.8 (range;18-42)years.According to preoperative X-ray and MRI imaging examination,we performed arthroscopic examination,removed hemorrhage in joints,processed meniscus tears and reconstructed ACL through autogenous hamstring.Hinged long leg brace was used for rehabilitation practice.Results Arthroscopic findings were as follows: proximal ACL ruptures at femoral footprints in 47 cases and ACL body ruptures in 22 cases.All patients were followed up for 12-48 months (mean,(16.5±8.2)months).Incision healed well and no infection was found.Preoperative Lysholm score was 51.5±5.1 and significantly different compared with postoperative of 91.3±4.3 (P<0.05).Conclusion Early arthroscopic reconstruction of ACL can clear intra-articular injury,shorten the treatment process,and meet the standard of treatment specification.It is worthy to be promoted in clinical application.
