| description | The outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction are still unsatisfactory. Anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction has been applied to augment ACL reconstruction, with better but still nonoptimal results. An anatomical analysis revealed that the route of ALL is quite different from that of ACL on the lateral view of the knee. Thus, we hope to augment ACL reconstruction with the reconstruction of an ACL-mimicking anterolateral structure, in which the route is similar to that of ACL. Thus, we aimed to introduce a combined ACL and ACL-mimicking anterolateral structure reconstruction technique, which we named condyle-pinching double-bundle ACL reconstruction. The main indication of this technique is ACL injury with a high degree of pivot shift or general laxity. The main steps of this technique include preparation of a combined graft, creation of a common femoral tunnel and 2 tibial tunnels, graft placement, and final graft fixation to an adjustable loop. We have been obtaining obvious outcome improvement clinically with this technique and consider that this report will provide special option in ACL reconstruction. |
