Abstract
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) consists of two primal functional bundles, anteromedial bundle and posterolateral bundles. Those two bundles play different functional roles and contribute differently to knee stability throughout the range of motion. Recent advancement in studies of anatomy and biomechanics of ACL has led surgeons to perform double-bundle ACL reconstruction to obtain better stability and kinematics. Consequently, variable surgical techniques of double-bundle ACL reconstruction have been reported to replicate native ACL. In addition, various surgical key points and problems in double-bundle ACL reconstruction techniques have also been reported. There has been a trend to more anatomically replicate native ACL bundles, not simply creating two bundles. We summarize the basic knowledge and current concepts of anatomic double-bundle ACL reconstruction using hamstrings tendons.
