Background: Ligamentous injury to knee joint is common in athletes and young adults mainly after a twist injury which causes instability of joint. Aim of this study is to assess the outcome of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury functional helping for improved quality of life.
Objectives: To diagnose the patients clinically and radiologically acute or chronic ligamentous knee injury and to assess the functional and clinical outcome of patients treated with different treatment modality of anterior cruciate ligament injury for better quality of life.
Methodology: All patients admitted at AVBRH with ligamentous knee injury were divided into 2 groups of surgically managed and non-surgically treated. Surgically managed patients had undergone Arthroscopic assisted anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with physiotherapy and conservatively managed patients treated with physiotherapy only. All these patients were assessed on basis of 3 functional scoring system at last follow up compared with scoring at the time of admission.
Expected outcome: By doing this study we can expect a better functional outcome in patients operated with Arthroscopic assisted anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with physiotherapy in comparison to patients managed conservatively with physiotherapy. A significant difference of better quality of life is expected.
