Clinical Results Comparing Transtibial Technique and Outside in Technique in Single Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

PURPOSE To compare the clinical results of single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using the conventional transtibial technique and the anatomical outside-in technique for femoral tunneling. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 2007 to 2011, 89 patients who received ACL reconstruction were followed for ≥1 year were enrolled in the study. The conventional transtibial technique was ...

Single bundle anatomic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction : Indications , technique and results

Abstract Introduction Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a common injury and more than 100,000 ACL reconstruction procedures are performed in the United States every year. Although widely accepted and investigated, ACL reconstruction still continues to evolve and many technical issues are under debate. They mainly include: 1) graft selection, 2) surgical technique (double versus single bundle)...

Failure of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

  The present review classifies and describes the multifactorial causes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery failure, concentrating on preventing and resolving such situations. The article particularly focuses on those causes that require ACL revision due to recurrent instability, without neglecting those that affect function or produce persistent pain. Although primary ACL reconstructio...

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...
