ABSTRACTBackground: Anterior cruciate ligament rupture is one of the most common problems in active people, especiallyathletes with complications of pain and inflammation and knee instability. The most important treatment for thisdamage is reconstruction of torn ligaments, which is done with an alternate graft. These grafts have differenttAyipmes: .T o assess the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using autograft and allograft and compare them.Methods: In this study, 75 patients who referred to the Clinic of Firoozgar Hospital for the reconstruction ofanterior cruciate ligament between the years of 2015-2017 and who had the characteristics of entering the studywere selected and then divided into two groups: autograft (44) and allograft (31)) and surgery was performed by asurgeon and the results of the surgery were evaluated using IKDC questionnaire, KT stability arthrometer, PivotsRheisftu teltsst: a6n7d pLaaticehnmtsa wn eteres t.M ale and 8 patients were female.

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament rupture is one of the most common problems in active people, especially
athletes with complications of pain and inflammation and knee instability. The most important treatment for this
damage is reconstruction of torn ligaments, which is done with an alternate graft. These grafts have different

Methods: In this study, 75 patients who referred to the Clinic of Firoozgar Hospital for the reconstruction of
anterior cruciate ligament between the years of 2015-2017 and who had the characteristics of entering the study
were selected and then divided into two groups: autograft (44) and allograft (31)) and surgery was performed by a
