Management of the so called isolated ACL rupture

Abstract

The purpose of treating knee injuries is to maintain menisci protection, rotational stability and to avoid premature posttraumatic osteoarthritis. The isolated ruptured of the ACL in most cases leads only to a moderate instability. additional injuries are frequently increasing the instability. Therefore we attach great importance to the exact diagnosis. In particular the reconstruction of the posterior medial corner as a breakstop is of utmost importance- In our retrospective study we reviewed 104 acute ACL ruptures and during routinly performed arthroscopic examination we discovered additionallesions in 74%. In order to minimize the postravmatik osteoarthritis which is due to the instability caused by additional injuries we treated almost all the commitant injuries operatively. The figures and the clinical outcome are presented in this paper.
