Anterior cruciate ligament of knee joint is often damaged in sportsmen and people, engaged in an active life. The outcomes of surgery depend on the type of the operation, autograft, used during the surgery, fixation material, the state of menisci and cartilage, the patient’s age and weight, the mechanism of injury and, certainly, the factor of the surgeon. During the period from January 24, 2013 to January 16, 2020 total of 48 operations were carried out on 47 patients at the Clinic “Aversi” – the reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament of knee joint using autografts of m. semitendinosus and tendons of m. gracilis. Out of 47 patients were 8 women and 39 men. The youngest age was 14 and the eldest – 43. One patient underwent operations on both knee joints with an interval of 6 months. Absolutely all of the patients returned to the mode of life, which they had before the trauma. Proceeding from the data obtained, the ideal time for surgery was 3-6 weeks after the injury, when the knee was completely extended and edema was not observed. For timely return to sport (in our case after 6-7 months) a full functionally controlled rehabilitation-recovery had a particular importance. Also, a timely surgical treatment appears to be the best prevention for further injuries of menisci and cartilage. |
