Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Anteromedial Oblique Ligament Reconstruction Using the Rectus Femoris Tendon: Description of Surgical Technique.

ABSTRACT: We present a technique for combined anterior cruciate ligament and anteromedial oblique ligament reconstruction using the rectus femoris tendon graft. Anatomic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and anteromedial reinforcement are performed with a single rectus femoris graft. The rectus femoris tendon graft is harvested in a reproducible and minimally invasive approach. The surgical technique requires no special instruments and consists of 3 bone tunnels. Fixation is performed with interference screws.
