Abstract

Background: Many opinions think that surgery for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in the acute stage is very difficult. Meanwhile, some opinions think arthroscopy for acute anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction brings also good knee function and no stiffness complications. The postoperative outcome is excellent, operative time is short. Objectives: Assessment postoperative outcome: Operative time, stiffness complication, function, and stability of the knee. Materials and methods:  A descriptive prospective study was conducted on 84 patients with acute anterior cruciate ligament rupture who performed arthroscopic reconstruction in Sai Gon-ITO Hospital. Results: 84 cases of acute stage reconstruction for ACL have excellent postoperative knee function, no stiffness knee case, and operative time is short. Conclusion: Acute reconstruction has a good result. Rang of motion of the knee is normal. No stiffness knee case. We advocate that reconstruction of ACL should be performed in the acute stge in order to help patients soon return to normal activity.
