Abstract
Combined anterior cruciate ligament and anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ACL+ALL r) is a common procedure to treat rotational instability and to prevent ACL graft failure. Recent studies have described numerous combined reconstruction techniques to obtain the most anatomical procedure with the least graft donor site morbidity and the best clinical results. Hamstring (HG) grafts are the most popular graft in literature. Leaving pedicle HG can preserve enough blood supply to improve tendon-bone healing with additional mechanical fixation of the graft on the tibial side. A single femoral tunnel reduces bone loss and prevents convergence of 2 femoral tunnels. We describe an original ACL and ALL reconstruction technique that preserves hamstring tibial insertion with a single blind femoral tunnel.
