Abstract

Congenital deficiency of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a rare disorder that has been reported in association with other knee dysplasia like as congenital knee dislocation. congenital short femur, congenital absence of menisci, congenital ring meniscus, and thrombocytopenia-absent radius syndrome. There has been no published explanation about the etiology of bilaeral ACL deficiencies without other abnomality. The patient of congenital ACL deficiency must be carefully inspected about combined anomaly. Those efforts may be helful in treatment or ACL deficient patients and evaluation of pathophysiology or ACL deficiency. However there has not been a ruptured congenital deficiency of the ACL without other dysplasia or the knee and other congenital skeletal abnomalities. We reported a case of symptomatic bilateral congenital deficiencies of the ACL which have not been associated with other skeletal abnormalities.
