Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Patients aged 18 to 40 years undergoing primary arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. 2. No previous history of injury or surgery in the knee and normal contralateral knee. 3. No concomitant injury to lateral collateral ligament, medial collateral ligament or posterior cruciate ligament. 4. No systemic disease or illness that may affect the surgery.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
We would be able to compare the functional and radiological outcomes of bioscrew versus loop washer for tibial site fixation of peroneus longus graft in patients undergoing arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using validated scoring systems such as the IKDC (International Knee Documentation Committee) score, Tegner and Lysholm Knee Score and radiological outcomes using MRI.Timepoint: All patient enrolling in the study will be periodically assessed by various internationally accepted knee scoring systems and using MRI at various predefined intervals 1) Post operative period during hospital stay 2) At 2 weeks when sutures will be removed 3) At 3 months 4) At 6 months 5) At 12 months	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
We would be able to assess complication rates (e.g., graft failure, tunnel widening, hardware irritation, infection) between bioscrew & loop washer fixation.Timepoint: 1) Post operative period during hospital stay 2) At 2 weeks when sutures will be removed 3) At 3 months 4) At 6 months 5) At 12 months ;We would be able to determine patient satisfaction & return-to-activity levels following each fixation method.Timepoint: 1) Post operative period during hospital stay 2) At 2 weeks when sutures will be removed 3) At 3 months 4) At 6 months 5) At 12 months ;We would be able to evaluate & compare the radiological evidence of graft integration using MRI during the follow up at 6 months & 1 year. Timepoint: 1) Post operative period during hospital stay 2) At 2 weeks when sutures will be removed 3) At 3 months 4) At 6 months 5) At 12 months	—
