Simultaneous Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Double Suspensory Technique and Medial Open-Wedge, High Tibial Osteotomy.

ABSTRACT: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is generally performed regardless of knee malalignments. However, there are some indications for either staged or simultaneous ACL reconstruction and realignment procedures, such as high tibial osteotomy (HTO). Simultaneous HTO-ACL reconstruction has the apparent benefit of a single surgical procedure with a faster recovery than a staged procedure, and it produces good clinical outcomes. Several techniques have been described for simultaneous ACLR and medial open wedge HTO. The tibial tunnel preparation and graft fixation are the most challenging part of the procedure. Recent studies on comparison of fixation of tibial tunnel graft using suspensory fixation versus bioabsorbable screws have shown superior results of more bone preservation and
