Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: patients with complete/partial ACL rupture with or without concomitant grade I and Grade II injuries to the collateral ligaments requiring surgery due to instability.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1 Patients presenting with an ACL injury greater than one year will be excluded from the study. 2 Patients with avulsion fractures will be excluded from the study. 3 Inability to give informed consent for the study. 4 local active or suspected infection, systemic diseases that might influence the study results. 5 Current or past injuries to the ipsi- or contralateral knee, possibly altering knee function, including previous ACL rupture. 6 Patients with a concomitant posterior cruciate ligament injury 7 Concomitant articular cartilage lesions larger than 2 cm with a depth of more than 50%of the cartilage thickness; and meniscal injuries involving more than two-thirds of the meniscus or the need for meniscus repair. 8 Mal-alignment of the lower extremity (greater than 5 mm of mechanical axis deviation as measured on standing hip-knee-ankle radiographs).
