Background: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) rupture is one of the major knee injuries throughout the world. Number of patients with ACL tear undergoing reconstruction had risen recently and more favourable results have been obtained with the advances in Arthroscopic surgery .Objective: The study was done to evaluate the functional outcome of arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using Semitendinosus and Gracilis graft. Materials And Methods: This study was conducted in department of orthopaedics of Katuri Medical college and hospital. 47 cases with anterior cruciate ligament tear were treated with arthroscopic reconstruction with semitendinosus and gracilis graft. Patients were assessed for the functional outcome using Knee IKDC score. Results: All 47 cases had good to excellent functional outcomes. Conclusion: Arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction “using semitendinosus and gracilis graft” is an effective method and gives stable fixation with excellent results
