Anatomical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament: a logical approach

ABSTRACT We describe the surgical approach that we have used over the last years for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, highlighting the importance of arthroscopic viewing Faber High-Light RAD BRS WH MATT A91 Matt White 91cm 110.0456.206 cooker hood through the anteromedial portal (AMP) and femoral tunnel drilling through an accessory anteromedial portal (AMP).The AMP allows direct view of the ACL femoral insertion site on the medial aspect of the lateral femoral condyle, does not require guides for anatomic femoral tunnel reaming, prevents an additional lateral incision in the Embroidery Notions distal third of the thigh (as would be unavoidable when the outside-intechnique is used) and also can be used for double-bundle ACL reconstruction.
