Objectives:
The journey of Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery has long way from open surgery to arthroscopy. Therefore, the anatomical features of the ACL and its two bundles description rewarded as good outcome of procedure.
Material And Methods:
Fifty fresh knees were dissected. The insertion position, length and diameter of ACL and patellar tendon length were measured and determines the range of normality according to sex and side.
Results:
The average lengths of Antero- medial (AM) and postero- lateral (PL) bundle of the ACL were 35.35 mm and 26.11mm in male on right side, respectively while 34.21mm and 25.53 mm in female. Patellar tendon length was 45.24 mm in right side of male and 43.38 mm in female obtained. The average lengths of AM and PL bundle of the ACL were 35.47 mm and 26.04 mm in male on left side, respectively while 34.23 mm and 25.38 mm in female.
Conclusion:
The length of ligaments was higher in male than female. There was strong correlation between height and length of ligaments but no correlation with age.
