title: Double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using two different suspensory femoral fixation: a technical note.
abstract: We describe a novel double-bundle reconstruction method for ACL deficient knee. Grafts are tibialis allograft for AMB (anteromedial bundle) and semitendinosus autograft for PLB (posterolateral bundle). Femoral fixations are done by Bio-TransFix for AMB and EndoButton for PLB. Tibial fixations are done by Bio-interference screw for AMB at 60-70 degrees knee flexion and secure the PLB and remnant AMB graft simultaneously onto anteromedial aspect of tibia at 10-20 degrees knee flexion with spiked washer and screw. With our technique, graft lengths are not restricted and we provide strong femoral and tibial fixation if it is compared with previous techniques.
