Abstract :ABSTRACT: Introduction: This study compares transtibial and All-inside techniques frequently used in ACL reconstruction. Methods: Patients with acute or chronic ACL rupture, reconstruction with one of the transtibial and All-inside techniques, using hamstring autograft, having adequate pre- and postoperative documentation and completing the 24th postoperative month were included in the study and compared retrospectively. Results: Forty-five patients, 22 of whom were operated on with the transtibial technique and 23 with the All-inside technique, were included in the study. Age, sex-sex distribution and BMI values were similar. While better clinical results were obtained in the early postoperative period in the all-inside group, the results were identical in both groups at 2-year follow-ups. Conclusion: Transtibial and All-inside techniques are reliable and promise good clinical results in ACL reconstructions.
