Abstract
Introduction: Anterior cruciate ligament is one of the most important knee ligaments. This ligament is one of the ligaments that is damaged during vigorous activity. The purpose of this study was comparative evaluation of reconstructive surgery and physiotherapy in patients.

The IKDC questionnaire was filled out and collected data was entered into SPSS 21 And were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and BONEFERRONI supplementary tests.
Results: The results showed that both treatment and occupation were effective and reconstructive surgery had a higher score than physiotherapy. Also in the jobs, the score of the soldiers was significantly lower than the rest of the jobs and there were no significant differences between the three freelancer’s jobs, military personnel and athletes.
Conclusion: According to the findings, both the type of treatment chosen and the type of occupation were effective in patient’s follow up.
