We evaluated seventy-three cases of arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. These cases were divided into three groups. The L-K group (37 cases) were reconstructed using the Leeds-Keio artificial ligament. The combined group (20 cases) were reconstructed using a bone-patella ligament-bone autograft augmented by Kennedy LAD. The PT group (16 cases) were reconstructed with a bone-patella tendon-bone autograft only. Mean duration of follow-up was three years in the L-K group and two years in both the combined group and PT group. A positive Lackmann test and joint effusion were seen in 25% of the L-K group and combined group. Flexion contractuctures were seen in 19% of the L-K group. Wide notch plasty and accurate isometric points of the tibial drill hole were important for preventing the development of any complications.
