The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiologic result of arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using an Achilles tendon allograft. Fifty three patients out of 66 patients, who were performed arthroscopic ACL reconstruction between January 2004 and May 2006 at our institute, were followed up at least more than 1 year 6 months. Among them, sixteen patients underwent second look arthroscopy. The average Lysholm score was improved from preoperative 51.2 to postoperative 84.9. On Lachman test, 45 cases were converted to negative. On Pivot shift test, 46 cases were converted to negative. The anterior laxity test with Telosⓡ on 30lb was 10.3mm in average at preoperative stage and was decreased to 2.9mm in average at postoperative stage. In conclusion, ACL reconstruction using Achilles allograft can be one of effective grafts for the ACL reconstruction.
