Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: One of the strong bands of tissue that help connect your thigh bone (femur) to your shinbone (tibia) can be torn or sprained, and this is known as an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury (tibia).
Objective: To assess the demographic status of patients with ACL injury in tertiary hospital Bangladesh.
Methods: This prospective observational study was carried out at National Institute of Traumatology and Orthoapedic Rehabilitation, Dhaka from January 2019 to December 2020. A total case of 30 in group 1 (Hamstring tendon) and 30 in group 2 (Peroneus longus tendon) is included in the study according to inclusion and exclusion criteria.
Results: Mean age was 25.45 ± 0.93 years with male pre-dominance (96.67%). In both groups male patients were mostly common, group-1, 93.33% and group-2, 100%. Right knees were affected more (58%) in comparison to left knees (42%). The cause of injury which was mostly sports-related injuries (78.33%) and the injury was more common among students (43.33%).
Conclusion: From our study we can say that, young age people and male patients were mostly affected. In addition to that, right knee was mostly injured and sports-related injuries were common among students.
