To evaluate the effectiveness of arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction via tibial tunnel made by three-portal technique. Between July 2015 and December 2016, 45 patients with ACL ruptures were treated. There were 29 males and 16 females with an average age of 27.5 years (range, 18-42 years). There were 18 cases in the left side and 27 cases in the right side. There were 28 cases of sports injuries, 13 cases of traffic accidents, and 4 cases of other injuries. The average time from injury to operation was 21.6 days (range, 5-36 days). There were 25 cases of simple ACL injury and 20 cases of ACL complicated with medial collateral ligament, medial meniscus or lateral meniscus injuries. The Lachman tests of all patients were positive. The pivot shift tests of all patients were positive with grade Ⅰ in 27 cases, grade Ⅱ in 13 cases, and grade Ⅲ in 5 cases. The preoperative International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score was 70.28±6.12, and the Lysholm score was 63.27±7.62. All patien
