Revision ACL presents many technical issues that are not seen in the primary ACL reconstruction. A variety of surgical techniques for revising ACL reconstruction have been described in the literature to address these concerns.

This technique is a valid treatment option when faced with a complex scenario such as ACL revision surgery.
