The most recent concept in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is an anatomical single bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. For an anatomical anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, the tibial tunnel is made anterior than before, and the femoral tunnel is made in a lower and oblique direction compared to the classical method using the transtibial technique. The anteromedial portal technique, outside-in technique, and modified transtibial technique have been performed to produce femoral tunnels with anatomical positions. Each method has different advantages and disadvantages and is chosen based on the operator's preferences, experience, instruments, and implants.

As arthroscopy is more advanced and the importance of meniscal function is more emphasized, there have been more advanced en meniscal repair technique. However conventional technique require the use of special instruments and extensive skin incision to protect the neurovasculatures and soft tissues. Also these have the potential problem of damage in articular surfaces by the knot. So, we develop a modified outside-in technique using spinal needles and nylon loops. Our method have many advantages not only in stability but simplicity, and there is no need of additional skin incision.
