Four-Stranded Semitendinosus Tendon Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Mini-invasive Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction.

ABSTRACT: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is presently acknowledged as a prevalent procedure within the field of sports medicine surgery. Among the various graft options available, autograft hamstring tendons have emerged as one of the frequently used choices. This selection is primarily driven by the advantages it offers, such as reduced postoperative knee pain and a comparatively smoother surgical recovery process, when compared with the use of bone-patellar tendon-bone autografts. Quadrupled (4-stranded) semitendinosus tendon grafts have gained substantial popularity in recent years.

Furthermore, clinical studies have shown that the combinat
