Single-Tunnel Double-Bundle-Like Effect With Footprint Enhancing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

ABSTRACT: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) consists of an anteromedial bundle and a posterolateral bundle giving anteroposterior and rotational stability. It's one of the most commonly injured ligaments and also one of the most commonly performed arthroscopic procedures. Management of ACL injuries is one of the most frequently studied subjects in the literature. Surgical management of ACL injuries varies from extraarticular tenodesis to arthroscopic transtibial reconstruction to double-bundle reconstruction to anatomic single-bundle reconstruction. Although double-bundle ACL reconstruction gives more rotational stability than anatomic single-bundle, functional outcome of both are the same, but the complication rates are much higher for double-bundle reconstruction. Hence, anatomic single-bundle
