An Updated Insight about ALC Reconstruction Techniques

Abstract

Disruption of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) can lead to early joint deterioration, meniscal lesions, and dysfunction, making it a crucial ligament for good knee function. The purpose of this extensive study was to examine the various methods employed for ACL reconstruction. To replace native ligaments, modern ACL repair techniques use a variety of autograft and allograft varieties. For ACL restoration, the ideal graft would be one that mimics the natural ligament biomechanically, is easy to harvest, has minimal harvest site morbidity, and integrates well with the bone. To address possible issues with the interference screw and button fixation method, a new approach called cross-fixing of the hamstrings has been developed for ACL restoration. In terms of restoring anterior and rotational stability, prior clinical findings suggested that double-bundle ACL restoration was on par with or even better than single-bundle ACL reconstruction.
