Abstract:Abstract: Objective?To explore the clinical effect of drilling the femoral tunnel via outside-in technique and traditional anteromedial approach in arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.?Methods?50 patients diagnosed as anterior cruciate ligament injury were selected from February 2018 to June 2019. Arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction was performed. Among them, 25 cases of femoral tunnel were assigned to the outside-in technique, 25 cases of femoral tunnel were drilled through the anteromedial approach, and routine rehabilitation training was performed after operation. Operative time, femoral tunnel length, preoperative and postoperative follow-up IKDC scores and Lysholm scores were compared.?Results?Statistical analysis showed that the operation time was (76.79?±?11.25) min for the outside-in method, (75.40?±?10.32) min for the anteromedial approach, the difference was not statistically significant (P?>?0.05). (37.03?±?2.17) mm for the outside-in method, and (34.66?±?2.65) mm for the anteromedial approach. The difference was statistically significant (P?0.05). The postoperative IKDC scores were (92.80?±?1.48) and (92.29?±?1.78) for the outside-in method and the anteromedial approach, respectively, and the Lysholm scores were (96.20?±?4.98) and (95.69?±?5.39) for the outside-in method and the anteromedial approach, respectively. The difference was not statistically significant (P?>?0.05).?Conclusion?The outside-in technique and the anteromedial approach operation time is almost the same, and longer femoral tunnel, but they all can achieve satisfactory clinical results in three months after operation.
