Aim: Reconstruction of insufficient anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) has become a standard operative procedure. Still, graft choice and fixation technique are discussed controversially. The objective of this study was to ascertain the current treatment of ACL reconstruction in german orthopeadic surgery and trauma centers. Methods: A total of 250 trauma and 220 orthopedic surgery centers were asked for their treatment strategy and postoperative procedure of ACL reconstruction in an anonymus german-wide survey. Results: 230 questionaires (48.9%) were returned for evaluation. 90.4% of the surgeons reconstruc the anterior cruciate ligament. Patellar tendon is used by 73% of orthopeadists and 80.7% of trauma surgeons. Reconstruction with semitendinosus tendon transplantat is performed by 71.6% of the orthopeadists and 41.6% of trauma surgeons. For tibial fixation the interference screw is as well of the semitendinosus tendon as of the patellar tendon the most common technique. In about 30% each the femoral fixation results from interference srew and endobutton. Conclusion: There is still no generally accepted intra- and postoperative strategy for reconstruction of ACL. Reconstruction with semitendinosus tendon becomes more common.
