“…Given the short length of the graft, the femoral tunnel was made from the anterior margin of the intercondylar notch, and the graft was secured to the periosteum at the end of the femoral tunnel ( Figures 4,5 ) ( 33 ). This technique was the forebear of modern bone-patellar tendon-bone autografts (BPTB) ( 18 , 34 - 36 ). In 1979, Macintosh and Marshall introduced the “quadriceps tendon substitution technique”, which involves one-third of the entire central extensor mechanism, with a large portion of prepatellar aponeurotic tissue, which was taken as a graft beyond the top of the femoral condyle through the tunnel and fixed with a suture or metal clip, with the end piece extended posteriorly and anchored to Gerdy’s tuberosity.…”

Management of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears has continuously evolved since its first description in approximately 170 A.D. by Claudius Galenus of Pergamum and Rome. The initial immobilization using casts was replaced by a variety of surgical and conservative approaches over the past centuries. The first successful case of ACL repair was conducted by Mayo Robson in 1885, suturing cruciate at the femoral site. In the nineteenth century, surgical techniques were focused on restoring knee kinematics and published the first ACL repair. The use of grafts for ACL reconstruction was introduced in 1917 but gained popularity in the late 1900s. The introduction of arthroscopy in the 1980s represented the greatest milestones in the development of ACL surgery, along with the refinements of indications, development of modern strategies, and improvement in rehabilitation methods. Despite the rapid development and multitude of new treatment approaches for ACL injuries in the last 20 years, autografting has remained the treatment of choice. Compared to the initial methods, arthroscopic procedures are mainly performed, and more resistant and safer fixation devices are available. This results in significantly less trauma from the surgery and more satisfactory long-term results. The most commonly used procedures are still patellar tendon or hamstring autograft. Additionally, popular, but less common, is the use of quadriceps tendon (QT) grafts and allografts. In parallel with surgical developments, biological reconstruction focusing on the preservation of ACL remnants through the use of cell culture techniques, partial reconstruction, tissue engineering, and gene therapy has gained popularity. In 2013, Claes reported the discovery of a new ligament [anterolateral ligament (ALL)] in the knee that could completely change the treatment of knee injuries. The intent of these modifications is to significantly improve the primary restriction of rotational laxity of the knee after ACL injury. Kinematic studies have demonstrated that anatomic ACL reconstruction and anterolateral reconstruction are synergistic in controlling pivot displacement. Recently, there has been an increased focus on the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve predictive capability within numerous sectors of medicine, including orthopedic surgery.
