There are turning and other impulses done during sportive activities are among the most seen factors of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. It is also claimed that femur intercondylar notch sizes may have an impact on the etiological factors that cause ACL injuries and ACL is injured when it‟s on the lateral femoral condilin medial side and especially the narrowness of intercondylar notch increases the risk of injury. In order for diagnosis and treatment of ACL injuries, arthroscopy method is applied together with the physical examination. In our study we helped 62 amateur and professional athletes return to their sportive activities within 4.3 months by applying semitendinous and gracilis tendon arthroscopic ACL treatment with autograft. 5 patients experienced ACL rupture, 14 patients complained about anterior knee pain, 9 of the patients had tibial staple scratchiness while 7 patients had chronic pains around patellar tendon and near tibial tunnel.
