Two-bundle, four-tunnel anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

We reviewed 33 patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using a two-bundle, four-tunnel technique. The posterolateral bundle (PLB) and anteromedial bundle (AMB) were individually reconstructed with gracilis and semitendinosus tendon auto-grafts, respectively, using separate tibial and femoral tunnels. At final follow-up (24 months post surgery, range 18-31) the International Knee Documentation Committee's (IKDC) objective final evaluation scores were 69 A, 19 B, 12% C.

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using four-strand semitendinosus and gracilis tendon grafts and metal interference screw fixation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the outcome of 200 anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions using hamstring tendons.

Type Of Study: This is a case series reporting on 200 endoscopic procedures for reconstruction of the ACL.

Methods: This study included patients over 18 years old with a healthy controlateral knee, intact posterior cruciate ligament, and without any peripheral surgical procedure or cartilage injury.
