Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using the Double Bundle Method

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using the double bundle method.

Clinical results of our reconstruction technique for anterior cruciate ligament using the double bundle, i.e., the combination of bone-tendon-bone (BTB) from the patellar tendon and semitendinosus tendon (ST), were evaluated. BTB was fixed in the tunnels produced on the isometric points on the tibia and femur, and ST, on the tibial tunnel through the same route as BTB. Throughout the observatio...

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 Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Computer-assisted, anatomic, double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Accurate placement of the separate anteromedial bundle and posterolateral bundle bone tunnels required for anatomic, double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction remains a concern, and the advantages the technique confers, in terms of laxity control, may be lost with incorrect tunnel positioning. We present an image-free, computer-assisted, double-bundle reconstruction technique usin...

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using autologous hamstring double bundle graft compared with single bundle procedures.

A total of 218 patients with unilateral anterior cruciate ligament deficiency were randomly assigned to one of four groups. In group A an anatomical double bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction was performed; group B were treated by a single bundle using an Endobutton for femoral fixation; in group C by a single bundle using RigidFix cross pins for femoral fixation; and in group D by...
