Abstract • Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are common in younger age group individuals. • Males are more prone for anterior cruciate ligament injuries. • Sports injuries are the commonest cause for anterior cruciate ligament injuries. • Associated meniscal and chondral lesions increase with duration of the injury • Arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with hamstring tendon graft is an excellent treatment option for anterior cruciate ligament deficient knees. • Meniscal injuries do not affect the final outcome in anterior cruciate ligament reconstructed patients in short term follow up. • Arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction reduces Postoperative morbidity and enables early rehabilitation. • This study showed that arthroscopic ACL reconstruction with double hamstring tendon graft using all press-fit technique in both femoral and tibial tunnels with bone plugs without the use of any hardware is a reliable, cost-effective technique and represent a good alternative among other options for ACL reconstruction. • The clinical and functional results of this case Series were comparable to other studies reported in the literature using different fixation methods for ACL reconstruction. • Advantages of all press-fit fixation include fast bone-to-bone healing, anatomical positioning, ease for revision surgery, and cost effectiveness. •Further biomechanical and clinical studies especially comparative studies, are needed for better evaluation of the technique. |
