Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with double bundle versus single bundle: experimental study

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with double bundle versus single bundle: experimental study.

OBJECTIVE To test an intra-articular reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee in 10 human cadavers by replacing 2 anterior cruciate ligament bundles, with the purpose of producing a surrogate that would be structurally more similar to the anatomy of the anterior cruciate ligament and would provide the knee with more stability. METHODS We reconstructed the anteromedial and ...

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

Single-bundle versus double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a systematic review and meta-analysis

The aim of this analysis was to compare the functional outcomes, knee stability, and complications of patients after the arthroscopic double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with those of singlebundle ACL reconstruction. An electronic search of the PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases was performed. The analyzed outcomes were Lysholm scores, Tegner scores, subject...

A systematic review of single-bundle versus double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

INTRODUCTION Double-bundle (DB) anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is becoming increasingly common. However, no definitive data on the superiority of DB reconstruction have been shown when compared with single-bundle (SB) ACL reconstruction. SOURCES OF DATA We performed a comprehensive search of PubMed, Medline, Cochrane, CINAHL and Embase databases using various combinations of ...
