Abstract

Objective: To compare the functional outcome of arthroscopic ACL reconstruction with hamstring graft between unilateral meniscus tear and bilateral meniscus tear in term of functional knee score.

Method: In retrospective study of 26 patients who underwent ACL reconstruction with hamstring graft that had meniscal repair. Group 1 (n = 13) ACL reconstruction with unilateral meniscal repair and group 2 (n = 13) ACL reconstruction with bilateral meniscal repair were recorded the outcome with IKDC knee score (Thai version). All patients were followed up to 10 months postoperative.

Results: The functional outcome were not significantly different between groups (p > 0.05).

Conclusion: There were not different in functional outcome after undergoing ACL reconstruction between unilateral and bilateral meniscal repair.
