Abstract：BACKGROUND:Different weaving methods of autologous tendon lead to various treatment efficacies on cruciate ligament rupture, but the preferred method is stil controversial. <br> OBJECTIVE:To comparatively analyze the clinical efficacy of single-bundle and double-bundle autografts on anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. <br> METHODS:A retrospective analysis of 48 cases of anterior cruciate ligament rupture was performed. According to the composition of graft beam, these 48 patients were divided into two groups:double-bundle group (n=24) and single-bundle group (n=24). Al surgical patients underwent autologous anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction by arthroscopy, and were fol owed up for at least 6 months. The function of knee joint after operation was comprehensively analyzed through IKDC and Lysholm scores. <br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al of the patients (n=48) exhibited no joint complications postoperatively, such as intra-articular infection, joint effusion and incision inflammation. The IKDC scores and Lysholm scores in the double-bundle group were better than those in the single-bundle group, but there was no statistical y significant difference (P>0.05). This study demonstrated that single-bundle and double-bundle autografts both have good curative effects on anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction by arthroscopy. But in contrast, the curative effects of double-bundle autografts are better.
