title: [Arthroscopic cruciate ligament reconstruction].
abstract: A technique of arthroscopic reconstruction of the ACL with patellar tendon is presented. All meniscus surgery is performed arthroscopically. A special drill guide system is used, including intraoperative isometricity testing before drilling of the bone tunnels. Interference screw fixation is used on both graft sides. Results of 81 cases (34 acute, 47 chronic) with an average 20 months' follow-up are presented. Tegner's activity score reached preoperative values mean Lysholm's score was 97, 14% had a Lachman sign of 1+ or more, and 6% had a positive pivot-shift. No significant differences were found with KT-1000 measurements.
