Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Anterolateral ligament reconstruction with Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction  The Gracilis tendon is used to reconstruct the anterolateral ligament by fixing at a point midway between Gerdy tubercle and Fibular head on tibia and posteroinferior to lateral epicondyle on femur Patients will be followed up at 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months 
Intervention  Lateral Extraarticular tenodesis with Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction  Using the modified Lemaire technique, a 7cm x 1 cm strip of Iliotibial band is harvested and passed deep to the lateral collateral ligament and fixed posteroinferior to the lateral epicondyle on the femur. Patients will be followed up at 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months

Blinding/Masking   Outcome Assessor Blinded 
Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the clinical outcomes and functional outcome scores (Tegner-Lysholm Score) in the postoperative period vs preoperative period between the two groups  Baseline, 3 months, 6 months and final follow up at 9 months 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. To compare functional outcomes in both groups using other outcome measures like KOOS score, and IKDC score at 3 and 6 months in high risk patients.
2. To correlate whether risk factors like Segond’s fracture, increased posterior tibial slope, Lateral femoral notch sign, and femoral contusion increase the risk of failure of ACLR and necessitate an extra-articular procedure.
3. To find the incidence of residual anterolateral instability, graft rupture rate, and donor site morbidity 
3 and 6 months

Brief Summary  
Patients who undergo Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction have often been found to have residual Anterolateral rotatory instability. This is more common in patients who have high risk factors for graft failure (details in inclusion criteria mentioned above). Hence, these patients benefit from an extra articular procedure in addition to Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction to reduce chance of graft failure and to improve clinical and functional outcomes. Both Lateral extra-articular tenodesis and Anterolateral ligament reconstruction have been advocated as the additional procedures.

In this thesis, we aspire to compare the clinical and functional outcomes of extra-articular procedures performed to minimize residual Anterolateral rotatory instability following Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. We will be comparing the outcomes of Lateral extra-articular tenodesis and Anterolateral ligament reconstruction in high risk patients. 

The hypothesis for the proposed study is that “Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction + Anterolateral ligament reconstruction leads to better clinical and functional outcomes compared to Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction +  Lateral extra-articular tenodesis”.
