Abstract：BACKGROUND:Autologous hamstring Rigidfix and Intrafix has been frequently used to fix and reconstruct anterior cruciate ligament. However, it lacks of evaluation of middle and long period of clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVE:To retrospectively evaluate the medium term clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft by Rigidfix and Intrafix. METHODS:The 39 cases of anterior cruciate ligament injury were subjected to anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft by Rigidfix and Intrafix under arthroscope. They were fol owed up for 2 years or more. The clinical outcomes were evaluated using Lyshlom score scale, IKDC2000 and Tegner score scale. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the fol ow-up, IKDC2000 score and Lyshlom score were significantly increased fol owing Rigidfix and Intrafix fixation than before treatment (P<0.01). Results indicate satisfactory clinical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft by Rigidfix and Intrafix. However, long-term fol ow up is needed to verify the feasibility of extensive application.
