About this trial
Our research is to evaluate the position and length of femoral tunnel, and to examine whether knee stability and clinical functional outcomes are better while using two-portal or three-portal technique .
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age ( 16 - 50 ) .
Isolated ACL tear with or without meniscal inj
Patient who have undergone ACL reconstruction in the last 5 years in Arthroscopy and sports injuries unit .
Disqualifiers
1- Age ( < 16 ) 2- Patient with multi ligamentous inj . 3- Revision ACL tear .
Trial population
Postoperative evaluation of patients who had previous ACL reconstruction (within terms of inclusion criteria \& study sample ) by ct , clinical examination and functional scores .
Trial design
Design model
Case-control
Time perspective
Retrospective
Treatments tested in this trial
CT
Radiation3D CT scan have been used to evaluate the tunnels location after ACL reconstruction, as they can provide excellent perspective of the tunnel aperture, good visualization of bony structure and shape of the intercondylar notch, that preclude the use of a conventional 2-dimensional CT scan for measurement of the ACL tunnels location
Treatment groups
72 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groupsGroup A: 2 portal group1 intervention
Group B: 3 portal group1 intervention

Ct evaluation

Clinical Examination &amp; Functional scores
\- KOOS ( Knee Injury \&amp; Osteoarthritis Outcome ) The KOOS's five patient-relevant dimensions are scored separately: Pain (nine items); Symptoms (seven items); ADL Function (17 items); Sport and Recreation Function (five items); Quality of Life (four items). A Likert scale is used and all items have five possible answer options scored from 0 (No problems) to 4 (Extreme problems) and each of the five scores is calculated as the sum of the items included. Scores are transformed to a 0-100 scale, with zero representing extreme knee problems and 100 representing no knee problems as common in orthopaedic scales and generic measures. Scores between 0 and 100 represent the percentage of total possible score achieved.
