A novel technique of treating anterior cruciate ligament injury: combining the ACL reconstruction and repair.
Keyword(s):
Abstract If the ACL stump is strong enough and of good quality, we combine the ACL reconstruction and repair together. The main aim of this technique is to retain the autologous ACL stump to protect the proprioception and accelerate the revascularization and may even promote the healing of the bone to tendon. It is assumed that this will be better for the knee biomechanics in contrast to the simple reconstruction. This technique may also save the graft. That means we can only harvest one tendon gracilis or semitendinosus to satisfy the need of the knee stability.
