Surgery for anterior cruciate ligament deficiency: a historical perspective

Abstract: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) has entertained scientific minds since the Weber brothers provided biomechanical insight into the importance of the ACL in maintaining normal knee kinematics. Robert Adams described the first clinical case of ACL rupture in 1837 some 175 years to date, followed by Mayo-Robson of Leeds who performed the first ACL repair in 1895. At that time, most patients presented late and clinicians started to appreciate signs and symptoms and disabilities associated with such injuries. H… Show more

“…Deficiency of PL bundle in the SB reconstruction has been assumed to give rise to the rotational instability post-operatively. [19][20][21] To take care of the rotational component, DB ACL reconstruction has been proposed and asserted to be more effective than SB reconstruction for restoring normal anatomy and knee kinematics 22,23 However, DB reconstruction of four tunnels is technically more demanding than SB. In United States, Denmark, and Sweden prospective ACL reconstruction cohorts are ongoing at present.…”

“…The most profound effects of knee joint injuries include ligament, especially anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. In the vast majority of cases, a complete ACL tear requires specialist surgical treatment (ACL reconstruction) [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”
