Popis: Introduction The aim of this paper is to present our experience with femoral press-fit fixation in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft. Methods The patient population was randomly placed in two groups: group A (58 patients), who underwent femoral screw fixation; group B (62 patients), who underwent femoral press-fit fixation. Results At last follow-up 9.2% of patients were lost; 28% of patients in group A and 64% of patients in group B had excellent International Knee Documentation Committee score (grade A); 66% of patients in group A and 32% of patients in group B had good International Knee Documentation Committee scores (grade B). The difference was statistically significant (p Conclusions Femoral press-fit fixation of bone- patellar tendon- bone autograft provides stable fixation at low cost, it ensures unlimited bone-to-bone healing and high primary stability, avoiding the disadvantages of hardware and the need for removal in case of revision.
