Description
Summary:Arthroscopic techniques to reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are constantly evolving. The treatment of ACL ruptures vary based on the patient, as well as, associated injury and even the surgeons preferred technique. Further attention to the ACL anatomy and attempts to improve the biologic environment for healing have lead to the creation of this all-inside ACL reconstruction. Furthermore, this method utilizes lesser-invasive, cortical-sparing sockets rather than full tunnels. An all-inside ACL reconstruction procedure is fully described below specifically detailing the required equipment, implants and technique.
