Description of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Technique with Mini-Lemaire Type Anterolateral Tenodesis through a Single Femoral Tunnel.

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury causes anteroposterior and rotational instability in the knee. Intra-articular reconstructions often fail to achieve satisfactory rotational control, leading to persistent complaints of instability and subjecting the neo-ligament to increased stress. Young patients with high athletic demands and grade 2 or 3 pivot-shift often have a higher risk of re-rupture after isolated ACL reconstruction.
