About

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction stabilizes the knee joint biomechanically and returns the patients back to the sportive activities. Numerous techniques exist to perform an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery. Remnant- preserving reconstruction technique is performed to increase surgery success rates and to accelerate the post-surgical return to sport process. In general, there is no consensus regarding the clinical outcomes of remnant-preserving anterior ligament reconstruction over standart procedure. The purpose of this study is to compare the patients who had remnant-preserving anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with healthy controls in terms of muscle strength and proprioception.
