Bilateral simultaneous anterior cruciate ligament rupture: A case report and literature review

Abstract

Bilateral simultaneous anterior cruciate ligament ruptures are very rare and only a few cases have been previously reported in the orthopedic literature. We present a case of simultaneous bilateral ACL tears in an actor who sustained injuries after landing from a guitar jump during a theatre performance. The patient underwent a two-stage bilateral ACL reconstruction using bone-patellar-tendon-bone autograft.
