Functional Outcome of Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction by Peroneus Longus Tendon Autograft

Type: article
Abstract: Background: The ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) is the most commonly injured ligament in the knee. Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction is considered the leading approach for treating a complete Anterior Cruciate Ligament tear, making it one of the most commonly performed orthopaedic surgeries today. Objective: The practical outcome of using a peroneus longus tendon autograft for arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament restitution. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, purposive sampling was used. This study which was carried out at BMU from September 2021 to September 2023, consists of twenty patients with ACL rupture while closely conforming to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The Tegner score was used to evaluate the result six months after surgery. Muscle power (MRC Grading) was used to evaluate ankle stability, using the normal side as a reference. Results: At six months, the post-operative Tegner score was 6.60±0.68 which was exceptional. Patients reported post- operative discomfort in relation to functional result 2(10.0%). Lachman test normal 17(85.0%), 1+ laxity 2(10.0%) and 2+ laxity 1(5.0%) were used to evaluate the ACL's stability. Conclusion: The peroneus longus tendon autograft is bio- mechanically comparable to the native ACL in terms of thickness and strength. It is a viable and effective autograft option for ACL reconstruction, offering favourable functional outcomes and minimal donor site morbidity. JAFMC Bangladesh, Vol-22, No-1, June 2026: 51-54
