We evaluated 104 cases (male 59, female 45) with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using N-test, anterior translation measured by KT-1000 and extension and flexion force of knee joint measured by Cybex 350. Follow up ranged from 6 months to 8 years, with a mean of 2 years and 11 months. Of these, 64 sports injury patients were questioned for subjective satisfaction score of treated knee compared with their contralateral knee. Objective results were favorably compared with other reports; Ntest was negative in 89% of males and 91% of females, % flexion force compared with the contralateral side was 94% in males and 89% in females, average JOA score for knee ligament injury was 96 in males and 94 in females. 32% of males and 42% of females were able to return to participate in their original sports. Subjective satisfaction score was 65 in males and 61 in females. Satisfaction score showed positive correlation with extension force in both sexes (p<0.05) and satisfaction score in males who returned to their original sports was higher than the score in males who returned to recreational sports (p<0.05).Discrepancy between objective findings and subjective satisfaction was found. Strengthening of knee extensors in both sexes and rehabilitation programs which enable the return to original sports in males may improve subjective satisfaction.
