This is a retrospective analysis of 35 patients admitted in the Traumato-Orthopedics department of the Gonesse Hospital Center - Paris, operated for ACL rupture by arthroscopic ligamentoplasty using the internal rectus and semitendinosus tendons by endobutton. The interest of this study is to present the principles of this surgical technique and to evaluate its results by comparing them with other knee ligamentoplasty techniques. These are mainly young patients, most of whom have been the victim of a sports accident. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) enabled the diagnosis. Postoperatively, early passive rehabilitation was prescribed for our patients with progressive flexion angles. Our functional results, assessed by the scores of Lysholm and IKDC, were satisfactory with an almost total resumption of sports and professional activities.
