    INTRODUCTION: Multiple reviews of the applicability, cost-effectiveness, and safety of daycare reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament have been published in French, American, and British setups, but have not been described in our population.

    MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, 25 patients who underwent Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR) as a daycare surgery in our setup were assessed retrospectively. Post-operatively patients were reviewed for pain, complications, conversion from daycare to inpatients, readmission within two weeks post ACLR and cost-effectiveness.

    RESULTS: None of the patients required readmission within two weeks post-operatively, two patients were admitted on request from Surgical Day Care (SDC) to inpatient postoperatively, two patients developed urinary retention. Daycare ACLR was also cost-effective, as shown by cost analysis a reduction of cost by 26.9 %.

    CONCLUSION: Daycare ACLR is safe, feasible, and cost-effective treatment modality for young patients and can provide a substantial cost saving.
