Abstract

A modification of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using a minimally invasive and endoscopic all-inside technique is presented. Both the femoral and tibial socket are approached through the joint so that there is no open tibial tunnel, which otherwise often causes significant pain and discomfort during early rehabilitation. The autologous semitendinosus tendon is harvested with a bone plug attached to its tibial insertion. The triple-stranded semitendinosus tendon is looped around the adjacent bone plug and fixed at the original tibial attachment site of the ACL using a soft threaded biodegradable poly-(D,L-lactide) interference screw. The screw is inserted endoscopically in an inside-out direction. In the femoral socket the graft is fixed without a bone plug directly to the tunnel wall using the biodegradable screw. The free part of the graft is thus not longer than the intra-articular distance, which may increase stiffness of the construct.
