Abstract
Double-bundle ACL reconstruction results in statistically significant, but not clinically significant improvement in knee anteroposterior stability, and improved rotational stability, according to the pivot-shift test, which is subjective. However, double-bundle does not improve clinical outcomes, does not reduce graft failure rates, and is more complex, more expensive, takes longer, and is harder to revise. As a result, for now, we prefer single-bundle ACL reconstruction.
