Combined Double-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Anterior Cruciate Ligament-Mimicking Anterolateral Structure 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...

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...

Combined Anatomic Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Double Bundle Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction

The results of arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction are so far satisfactory and improving over time as a result of the improved understanding of the anatomy and biomechanics of the ACL. Rotational instability confirmed by a positive pivot shift is present in more than 15% of cases who underwent successful ACL reconstruction. Persistent rotational instability interferes w...
