Comparison of Rotatory Stability After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Between Single-Bundle and Double-Bundle Techniques

Abstract

The rotatory stability of anatomic double-bundle reconstruction was significantly better than the rotatory stability of single-bundle reconstruction.

Can the pivot-shift be eliminated by anatomic double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction?

“…The median sample size was 10 (range, [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] cases for in vitro studies and 30 (range, 21-90) cases for in vivo studies. The average age of subjects was 60.7 (median, 62; range, 31-72) years for in vitro studies and 28.6 (median, 29; range, 12-50) years for in vivo studies.…”

Tibial ACL insertion site length: correlation between preoperative MRI and intra-operative measurements

“…As per previous studies, ACL reconstructions led to better clinical [2,10,16,24,28,38,40] and knee stability outcomes [1,5,7,19,20], but preoperative information on ACL anatomy is an essential prerequisite in determining optimal graft choice and restoring native ACL anatomy.…”

Anatomical single bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

“…Although a mechanized Slocum Anterolateral Rotational Instability test showed significant improvement there was no difference in Lysholm and Tegner scores, KT2000 and Pivot Shift testing [57].…”
