Abstract

Objectives: Assess the outcomes of all-inside ACL reconstruction with tenon allografts at Viet Duc Hospital. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study on 55 patients with ACL lesions who underwent all-inside ACL reconstruction with tendon allografts at Viet Duc Hospital from June 2019 to March 2021. Results: 55 patients, including 36 males (65.5%), 19 females (34.5%); The mean age was 36.24 ± 10.43, the lowest was 16 and the highest was 59; traffic accidents (40%), sports injuries (38.2%). The average Lysholm scores of patients preoperatively was: 45.04 ± 12.43 points. Knee MRI: 48 patients had complete ACL ruptures, 07 patients had a partial ACL tears, 14 patients with medial meniscus tears including, 15 patients with lateral meniscus tears, and 03 both meniscus tears; The materials used for the ACL reconstruction were two types of allogeneic tendons (Achilles tendon (63.6%) and peroneus longus tendon).  The average length of the grafts was 64.18 ± 4.78 mm, the shortest was 60 mm and the longest was 70 mm. The average diameter of the grafts was 9.52 ± 0.74 mm. Results of re-examination 6 months postoperatively: Lachman and Pivot Shift tests were negative. Knee functions according to Lysholm: excellent and good (89.1%), fair (10.9%). Conclusion: Achilles and peroneus longus tendons at the tissue bank of Viet Duc Hospital used in all-inside ACL reconstruction initially testified to safety, and greatly improved knee function.
