The present comparative study of arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction using single bundle versus Double bundle technique was performed in the Department of Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine at Kamineni Hospitals, L B Nagar, and Hyderabad between August 2016 to August 2017. A total number of 51 patients were divided into two groups 26 patients underwent single bundle and 25 patients underwent double bundle Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. The average surgical time was 59.23 ± 14.5 minutes and minutes in single and double bundle ACL reconstruction. Modified Lysholm score for single bundle Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction group (n = 26) preoperatively was 45.38 ± 8.06. And post operatively and at the end of one year was 93.65 ± 2.52 as compard to Double Bundle Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction group (n = 25), which was 45.48 ± 8.21preoperatively. And post operatively at the end of one year was 93.60 ± 2.56 which is statistically not significant. IKDC score for single bundle arthroscopic ACL reconstruction group (n = 26) preoperatively was 40.38 ± 6.95 and post operatively at the end of was 89.93 ± 4.01as compared to IKDC score for double bundle arthroscopic ACL reconstruction group (n = 25) which was preoperatively 52.2 ± 5.18and post operatively at the end of one year was 92.02 ± 3.32 { p value 0.249} which is statistically not significant. Lachman test in the single bundle arthroscopic ACL reconstruction group ( n = 26 ) preoperatively was 2.65 ± 0.48and post operatively at the end of 1 year was 0.35 ± 0.48as compared to double bundle arthroscopic ACL reconstruction group (n = 25 ) which was preoperatively 2.64 ± 0.49and post operatively at the end of one year was 0.52 ± 0.51 which is statistically not significant. Anterior drawer test in Single bundle arthroscopic ACL reconstruction group preoperatively was 2.58 ± 0.50and post operatively at the end of 1 year was 0.46 ± 0.50as compared to double bundle arthroscopic ACL reconstruction group which was preoperatively 2.64 ± 0.
