Brief Summary         ACL tear represents one of the most common sports related injury in the young population. Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction is popular since last 20 years. In last 20 years the commonly method used was outside in technique. There is evolution of another method since last 7 years known as all inside technique. But its clinical use was evident since last 2 years. Some features in this technique include closed socket tunnel, dual suspensory graft fixation, better hold, decreased bone removal and small skin incision. Due to smaller incision there is less swelling and hematoma formation, besides it can be done with 4mm incision if an allograft is used for graft preparation. Traditional ACL reconstruction techniques involve drilling of a tunnel from the outer tibial cortex into the proximal tibia and knee joint. Through this tunnel the ACL graft is inserted and securely fixed into the tibia. This tibial tunnel is a significant source of pain following ACL surgery as the periosteum over the tibial cortex is sensitive and a violation of this area is similar to the pain experienced with a fracture. In literature there are few studies comparing both the methods in terms of functional outcomes but are not sufficient to conclude the best technique out of the two. We presume some more studies are required to validate the superiority of one over the other. Our study aims to find out the better technique among both in a developing country like India at a tertiary care hospital.
