Abstract

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are a common pathology and one of the most heavily researched topics within orthopaedic surgery. ACL reconstruction is a successful procedure with high rates of return to sport, even among elite athletes. There are a multitude of variations in ACL reconstruction that are heavily researched in an attempt to improve outcomes after surgery. Improving the biomechanics of ACL reconstruction may improve the duration of return to sport and reduce the risk of reinjury. We describe a technique using an independent internal brace in the setting of ACL reconstruction.
