Abstract
Recently, the interest on anatomical ACL reconstruction with double bundle technique is increased to reproduce the original load distribution, and kinematics of the knee. We developed an arthroscopic double bundle ACL reconstruction technique using autogenous quadriceps tendon with 2 splitted graft and patellar bone plug. The anteromedial bundle and posteolateral bundle of the ACL is replicated with each splitted graft of quadriceps tendon and fixed with biodegradable interference screw on the 2 femoral tunnels. The patellar bone plug of quadriceps tendon is fixed with biodegradable interference screw within the 1 tibial tunnel. We suggest that our technique using quadriceps tendon may be an alternative in arthroscopic double bundle ACL reconstruction.
