title: Arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
abstract: Our understanding of the structure and function of the anterior cruciate ligament has progressed rapidly over the past decade. Arthroscope-assisted anterior cruciate ligament replacement is a new procedure that allows isometric placement of the anterior cruciate ligament graft. Postoperative rehabilitation is enhanced by preservation of the extensor mechanism.
