Pretibial ganglion cyst after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is a very rare complication, and a few are reported in and outside the country. Some authors report that it may break out with a variety of causes at any time. We experienced a case of pretibial ganglion cyst after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using Achilles tendon allograft and bioabsorbable interference screw in 34-year-old male. So we report this case including the cause and the treatment with a review of the literature.

Purpose : The purpose of this study is to provide an efficient and basis for muscle activity of Quadriceps muscles and balance in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction patients through unstable surface exercise and stable surface exercise. Methods : This study included 30 anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction patients belonging to A hospital and D orthopedic surgery clinic of province who attended the program for 30 minutes at a time and three times a week for 4 weeks. Of these 15 attended the unstable surface exercise program and 15 the stable surface exercise program. To increase muscle activity (%MVIC) and balance (WPL), the unstable surface exercise. Results : The %MVIC of lower extrmity muscle(RF, VL, VM) increased from before training to after training in the case of the participants who performed the unstable surface exercise, and the whole path length (WPL) decreased from before the training to after the training(p<.05). Conclusion : In conclusion, unstable surface exercise program helps to improve the balancing ability and musle activity in a anterior cruciate ligament recunstruction patients who requires both muscle activity and balance than stable surface exercise program.

Double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (DBACLR) has been developed to produce better clinical outcomes in traditional single-bundle reconstruction, which showed considerable rate of dissatisfaction in restoration of stability and function of the anterior cruciate ligament deficient knee. There is plenty of evidence that DBACLR has theoretical advantages in anatomical, biomechanical, biological, kinematical, and possibly clinical standpoint compared with traditional one but still a lack of available clinical outcome studies with sufficient follow-up to demonstrate the substantial advantages of DBACLR. The purpose of this article is to review the clinical outcomes of double-bundle technique and to address controversy exists over the usefulness of this technique.

The all inside anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction technique places an anterior ligament substitutes within two bony sockets rather than hone tunnel. This approach is accomplished through arthroscopic three portal which avoids the surgical exposure and morbidity associated with creating traditional bone tunnel. This technique has several distinct advantages when compared with the traditional ACL reconstruction through the bone tunnels. It offers the surgeon a less morbid method for ACL reconstruction that positions an ACL substitute at the anatomic attachment sites of the original ACL with two bone sockets, obviating the need for traditional bone tunnels. Graft fixation at or near the anatomic attachment points of the original ACL minimizes creep with early range of motion and reduces the abrasive 'wind-shield wipe' motion of the graft which occur with bone plugs positioned inside bone tunnels. The sagittal posterior angle to the tibial socket increases fixation strength to pullout with anterior translation force for the tibia on the femur. This technique is not graft specific and can accomodate any graft in which graft length can be customized to the intraarticular native ACL length.

Various surgical techniques has been advocated for reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament using the bone-patella tendon-bone graft. Recently endoscopic technique provides good clinical results, with minimal skin incision, accurate positioning of the graft to the femoral tunnel, and decreasing wear rate of the graft. But the graft-tunnel mismatch remains problematic in endoscopic technique. The purpose of this paper is to described causes of the graft-tunnel mismatch and to provide important steps to prevent or minimize the graft-runnel mismatch following anterior cruciate ligament while using the endoscopic technique. Our guideline for prevention of the graft-tunnel mismatch are as follows: (1) The tunnel should he positioned closely to isometric point as much as possible. (2) Anterior placement of the tunnel should be avoided. (3) The change of graft length should be within 2mm between flexion and extension position.

This article describes a modified arthroscopic technique of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using quadrupled hamstring tendon graft. The autogenous semitendinosus and gracilis grafts are harvested without detachment of the tibial insertion. To obtain longer graft, the accessory tibial insertions of the hamstring tendons are dissected. The EndoButton(Acupex Microsurgical, Andover, MA) is used for femoral fixation and two spiked staples are used for tibial fixation in a belt buckle fashion. Then the residual anterior laxity is restored by additional absorbable interference screw fixations. In this technique. more viable graft is obtained and firmer distal fixation is achieved by preservation of the tibial insertion of hamstring tendons.

The pretibial cyst is a very rare complication after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. It occurs whatever kind of graft choice or kind of graft fixation method at tibial side. It have been known such as graft necrosis at tibial side, extra-articular leakage of joint fluid through tibial tunnel, foreign body reaction due to breakdown of the bioabsorbable screw and incomplete incorporation of graft to bony tunnel as the cause of pretibial cyst. We experienced one case of pretibial cyst which had undergone ACL reconstruction with autogenous hamstring graft fixed with biodegradable interference screw. We report a rare case of pretibial cyst with literature review.

The review provides updated concepts regard to the anatomy of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) footprints. The concept of anatomical ACL reconstruction, in which the graft is placed in the native ACL insertion area, has been introduced. However, there is still no consensus on the anatomical positioning of the femoral and tibial tunnel. In this study, authors review and update the literature regarding the tunnel position for anatomical ACL reconstruction.
