| Abstrakt: | Introduction: Prevalence of polio was very high in India before its eradication, with a number of people living with its residual effects. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is the most common knee injury. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report in literature presenting ACL injury in a poliotic limb and its management. Case Report: A 30-year-old male with poliotic limb and equinovarus deformity presented with ACL injury to the same limb. ACL reconstruction was done using Peroneus longus graft. Postoperatively patient was gradually returned to preinjury activity levels. Conclusion: ACL tears in a poliotic limb can be a challenging case. Proper preoperative planning and anticipation of problems can help in managing the case with a good outcome.
