Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Additional Remnant-Preserving Stump Repair Using a Button and Suture-Tensioning Technique.

ABSTRACT: Anterior cruciate ligament injuries or ruptures significantly impair knee mobility and overall joint function. Surgical reconstruction is the standard treatment, most commonly performed using autologous semitendinosus and gracilis tendons. Recently, remnant-preserving anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction has gained popularity as a result of favorable clinical outcomes, and it is increasingly adopted by surgeons. The essential steps of the button with suture-tensioning technique are as follows: before graft passage, sutures are preloaded through the button portals; after drilling the bone tunnels, the preloaded sutures are advanced through the tibial tunnel into the joint cavity and retrieved for later use; once the graft is fixed in the standard manner, the femoral stump is sutured ar
