title: [Functional assessment of the different types of anterior cruciate ligament plasty used at the Xoco General Hospital Arthroscopy Service].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Currently, anterior cruciate ligament lesions have an increased frequency; their management is predominantly surgical; there are several functional assessment systems.
  
  
  METHODS
  We used the IKDC (International Knee Documentation Committee) functional assessment in patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction at the Xoco Hospital Arthroscopy Service.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A total of 73 patients underwent functional assessment; 43 underwent bone-tendon-bone (BTB) repair with patellar tendon graft and 30 underwent repair with pes anserinus tendon graft (T4). In the former group 39 patients had favorable results and 4 unfavorable results; in the latter group 27 patients had favorable results and 3 unfavorable results.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The results found do not differ significantly between both groups, something that is in agreement with the reviewed literature. The study should be continued with a larger sample size to eliminate variables and obtain more reliable results.
