Abstract
This technical note presents the single-anteromedial bundle biological augmentation (SAMBBA)-plus technique, which is a combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair and ACL reconstruction. Preservation of the native ACL fibers improves vascularity by encircling the ACL graft with synovium that is abundant in vascular-derived stem cells. Retaining the proprioceptive fibers of the native ACL can improve the recovery of joint positioning.
