Abstract

The timing of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a subject for assessment. To establish an optimum time to perform ACL reconstruction, we performed a comparison study between two groups of ACL reconstruction for acute and chronic rupture. From 01/2012 to 03/2014, we collected results from patients with complete rupture of ACL. 32 cases from Group I who received acute surgery within 3 weeks of injury and 54 cases from Group II with Chronic reconstruction after 3 weeks. Both groups received the same operative technique. Result: shows no difference in knee function, instability and range of motion in both groups. Conclusion: Acute reconstruction has good result, the range of motion of the knee of two groups shows no difference. We advocate that reconstruction of ACL shoud be performed within the first 3 weeks after injury to improve patients’ life.
