| Summary: | A technique for associated anterior cruciate ligament and fibular collateral ligament reconstruction is shown, using a single hamstring tendon graft, which is prepared asymmetrically, leaving one-third of the length with a single diameter and two-thirds with a double diameter. A single femoral tunnel is created, using an interference screw for fixation and isolation of the grafts. A suspension device is used for tibial fixation, allowing for length adjustment according to the graft's length. The objective of this Technical Note is to provide the orthopaedic surgeon with a resource for anterior cruciate ligament and fibular collateral ligament reconstruction even with short grafts, saving bone stock and avoiding the need for allografts.
