Bifascicular reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament

Year: 2008

Type: article

Abstract: techniques anatomically reproduce the insertions of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee joint, and afford increased control of multiplanar instability. An evaluation is made of the possible in- conveniences, such as the presence of two femoral tunnels that complicate revision surgery or the need for spe- cific fixation systems for such interventions. Preoperatively, improved biomechanical study is required, asses- sing the walking and running patterns. An analysis is likewise required of patient quality of life after reconstructions of this kind, with more precise assessment of rotational instability in isolated damage of the ACL, and long-term follow-up in order to avoid the development of joint deterioration.
