Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction Using a Single Achilles Tendon Allograft: A Technical Note

Abstract: Clinical outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) have improved remarkably. However, residual rotational instability of the knee joint remains a major concern. The anterolateral ligament (ALL) has recently gained interest as a secondary stabilizer of knee joint rotatory instability, and this has led to the attempt of ALL reconstruction (ALLR) in combination with ACLR to restore rotational stability in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Although several techniques for … Show more

“… 9 , 10 , 11 The Achilles tendon provides several advantages, such as sufficient graft length, sufficient graft width, a bone block, and the ability to use the excess allograft tendon for additional ligament reconstruction. 12 , 13 , 14 Additionally, it can be used to combat rotatory instability, which is a common cause of primary reconstruction failure. 15 …”
