Introduction: Since its first case of true surgery under arthroscopic control was perform in 1955, this
kind of procedure have become one of preferred method to treat knee ligament injury in recent year.
This kind of surgery has just recently been performed in Ulin General Hospital since January 2016.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcome of patients who underwent arthroscopic knee surgery
in Orthopaedic and traumatology Department, Ulin General Hospital.
Method: This was a descriptive retrospective study conducted on patiets who underwent Arthroscopic
Knee Surgery in Ulin General Hospital Banjarmasin from January 2016 to December 2017 with data
collecting methods in the form of history and interview of 25 patients. History and interview
conducted on the basis of Tegner Lysholm Knee Score.
Result and Discussion: The result of Tegner Lysholm Knee Score from 25 Patients are 10 patient
with excellent criteria, 12 patients with good criteria, 2 patients with fair criteria, 1 patients with poor
criteria. The Tegner Lysholm knee score used to evaluate outcomes of knee ligament surgery and how
the knee pain affected patient ability to manage in everyday life.
Conclusion: In this study, we found that patients who were underwent Arthroscopic Knee Surgery
procedure in Ulin General Hospital has satisfactory result refer to Tegner Lysholm knee scoring index.
2. METHODS
The design of this study was a descriptive rertrospective type of study. The data was
obtained from of history and interview conducted on the basis of Tegner Lysholm Knee
Score. The sample of this research is patients who underwent Arthroscopic knee surgery in
Ulin General Hospital South Kalimantan during January 2016 until December 2017, with
total of 25 patients.Inclusion criteria of this research is patient who underwent arthroscopic
knee surgery and the exclusion criteria of this research was as follow : 1)Patient who
underwent arthroscopic knee surgery for diagnostic purpose. 2) Incomplete medical record.
3. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
There was a total of 25 patients who underwent arthroscopic knee surgery in this
study, and the characteristic was showed as follow:

Many studies shows that the incidence of knee injury is higher in male than in female,
which correlated with sport activity that is more common in males.
Age Distribution
This study showed that arthroscopic knee surgery was mostly done in young adult
patients. The age of the patient ranged from 15 to 35 years old with the average age 24 years
old.

Tegner activity score provide a standardized method of grading work and sporting
activities. Developed to complement the Lysholm scale, based on observations that
limitations in function scores (Lysholm) may be masked by a decrease in activity level .
Tegner activity score containing about graduated list of activities of daily living, recreation,
and competitive sports. The patient selects the level of participation that best describes their
current level of activity. A score of 10 is assigned based on the level of activity that the
patient selects. A score of 0 represents “sick leave or disability pension because of knee
problems,” whereas a score of 10 corresponds to participation in national and international
elite competitive sports. Activity levels 6–10 can only be achieved if the person participates
in recreational or competitive sport.10
The Lysholm Tegner score should be regarded in relation to the activity level. Patients
who have reached the desired high activity level and have a high score may have better
function than patients with a high score but a low activity level, for example patients who are
not fully rehabilitated or those who have adapted to their disability. The Lysholm Tegner
rating system is well documented according to all the analyzed properties.5
Johnson and Smith (2001) stated that the Lysholm score and the Tegner activity rating
had been adequately tested, and were easy to use, making them ideal as “golden standards” to
which future measures can be compared. In a structured review of 16 patient-assessed knee
evaluation instruments, Garrat et al. (2004) stated that KOOS presented good evidence of
reliability, content and construct validity, and responsiveness. This review has shown that the
Lysholm-Tegner rating scale is the most widely used evaluation system. Consequently, score
results in different types of knee injuries are easy to find for purposes of comparison.5
4. CONCLUSION
This study showed the profile of patients who underwent arthroscopic knee surgery
which mostly done in young adult patients. The most common actual injury was ACL injury
and the activity that mostly leads to the injury was soccer. The data also showed that
reconstruction of cruciate ligament was performed in all patients. The follow-up evaluation
consisted of Tegner Activity Score and Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale. In this study, the
Lysholm-G score and Tegner activity score demonstrated generally acceptable validity and
reliability,justifying their use as outcome measures for patients with TKA. Thus, the Lysholm
score combined with the Tegner score might be a simple and concise assessment tool to
assess the outcomes of TKA
