Future of Double-bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction: Incorporation of ACL Anatomic Data into the Navigation System

摘要

As an orthopedic procedure, endoscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has recently advanced; however, short-term and long-term clinical studies reveal unsatisfactory postoperative results among patients. Traditional, single-bundle ACL reconstruction procedures may produce unsatisfactory postoperative results because of the complexity of ACL functions. Anatomically, an ACL can be divided into two functional bundles, the anteromedial bundle and the posterolateral bundle. Both bundles provide anterior and rotational knee stability and are important in restoring normal knee kinematics.
