Abstract
This article presents an unusual problem of a patient with chronic bilateral ACL-deficient knees and constitutionally very thin patellar tendons. Author decided to perform one-stage bilateral ACL reconstructions using hamstring tendon autografts so as not to weaken his quadriceps muscles by compromising his extensor mechanism.
