Anatomic Single-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Remnant Preservation Using Outside-In Technique

A pilot study of anatomic double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with ligament remnant tissue preservation.

PURPOSE The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the preliminary results of an anatomic double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction procedure with ligament remnant tissue preservation. METHODS By use of the transtibial technique, 2 doubled semitendinosus tendons were grafted into 4 tunnels created at the center of each bundle attachment, penetrating the ACL remnant ti...

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...

Single-Bundle PCL Reconstruction with Remnant Preservation: Midterm Follow-up

Background. Remnant preservation was developed as a routine procedure for posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction, but it is not easy. Objectives. Our study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of a minimum 5-years follow-up of remnant preservation PCL reconstruction. Methods. The study was a prospective cohort analysis of 44 patients who underwent PCL reconstruction with remnant preservat...

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 ...
