Background: Various surgical methods have been described for the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)tear with its own merits and demerits. Though arthroscopic reconstruction is the commonly done surgery, open reconstruction is still a good alternative in hospitals where scopy instruments/facilities are not available. This studies aim was to analyse the functional outcome following open ACL reconstruction using Bonepatellar tendon -bone graft (BPTB) Materials and methods: This is a prospective study of 30 patients aged between 18 to 50years with complete ACL tear with or without meniscal injury. Patients were treated by open reconstruction using bonepatellar tendonbone graft and interference screws. Appropriate post-operative care was given. ACL rehabilitation protocol was followed for all patients. The functional evaluation of the patients was done at 1year follow up. We used IKDC-2000, Lysholm & Gillquist scoring system for the evaluation of the results. Results: 90% of patients had normal or near normal knee, 10% of the patients had abnormal knee as per IKDC 2000 scoring system. excellent-good results were seen in 83% of the cases, while 14% had intermediate grade. The complications observed were anterior knee pain (26%), mildnumbness over donor site (13%), patella fracture (n=1). Conclusion: Open ACL reconstruction is still a good alternative to arthroscopic reconstruction in hospitals where scopy instruments/facilities are not available.
