Introduction:
Combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus injuries are common in active individuals. This study evaluates the outcomes of arthroscopic ACL reconstruction with simultaneous meniscus repair.
Materials And Methods:
A prospective study of 14 patients undergoing ACL reconstruction with meniscus repair was conducted. Lysholm Knee Score and Visual Analog scale (VAS) were used for outcome assessment. Intraoperative and post-operative complications were recorded.
Results:
All 14 patients had poor pre-operative Lysholm Scores (mean 25.2). At 6 months, 71.4% achieved excellent outcomes, with the mean score improving to 92 (P < 1.54 × 10-17). Mean VAS scores decreased from 4 pre-operatively to 0.8 at 6 months (P < 1.98 × 10-12), indicating significant functional recovery and pain relief.
Conclusion:
Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction with meniscus repair provides excellent functional outcomes with minimal complications.
