Anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction vs. non-anatomic ACL reconstruction with lateral tenodesis

Restoring Nature Through Individualized Anatomic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Surgery

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery has significantly evolved in recent years. This has led to development of new technologies that facilitate the diagnosis of ACL injury and the application of state of the art methods for treatment. In particular, individualized anatomical ACL reconstruction aims to restore native ACL function. Treatment is tailored to each patient based on...

Anatomic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is common procedure performed by orthopedic surgeons, particularly in association with sports-related injuries. Whereas traditional reconstruction techniques used a single bundle graft that was typically placed in a non-anatomic position, a renewed interest in anatomy has facilitated the popularization of anatomic reconstruction technique...

Anatomic Double-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Anatomic Double-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

A review of the literature suggests that a significant number of patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction continue to suffer residual pain and instability after surgery. Consequently, there remains considerable room for improvement in surgical ACL reconstruction. Anatomically, the ACL can be divided into 2 major functional bundles, the anteromedial and the posterolate...

Anatomic Double-bundle ACL Reconstruction.

Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most frequent forms of knee trauma. The traditional surgical treatment for ACL rupture is single-bundle reconstruction. However, during the past few years there has been a shift in interest toward double-bundle reconstruction to closely restore the native ACL anatomy. This paper evaluates the basis for double-bundle ACL reconstructio...
