The aim of the study was to investigate and assess anterior stability of the knee joint before and during 12-month rehabilitation after arthroscopic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament with the central third of the patellar ligament and stabilization with interference screws (Kenneth-Jones method) and to analyse the effectiveness of the surgery and rehabilitation by patient self-assessment of pain and crepitation in the patello-femoral joint.
