Resumen
Introduction: The use of autograft is the procedure of choice for reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The success is based on its results and postoperative quality of life. Primary reconstruction is a new technique with promising results and decreased complications. This technique is exposed to ensure stabilization without the use of grafts. Objective: Compare results between primary repair and reconstruction using bone-tendon-bone autograft. Methods: A clinical epidemiological cross-sectional study was conducted using variables of central tendency for measuring results. Postoperative follow-up was given to patients measuring the variables of pain, range of motion, and incorporation time to
exercise. Results: Follow up to meet the rehabilitation protocol. The average pain was 4.6 ± 1.33, the range of motion in flexion was 90.16º ± 3.23 in the first week, and the time returning to the exercise was 13.84 ±3.14 weeks. Conclusions: No difference was found in the results of postoperative pain. A marked difference was observed in the ranges of motion and incorporation time to exercise, favoring primary repair in the time it took patients to return to physical activity.
