Single-bundle versus double-bundle reconstruction for anterior cruciate ligament rupture: a meta-analysis-does anatomy matter?
Arthroscopy. 2012 Mar;28(3):405-24From the literature, 12 studies were identified (5 randomized trials and 7 observational studies) that were compiled for meta-analysis of double and single bundle ACL reconstructions. Primary outcomes of concern were anterior and rotational laxity and the range of motion (ROM). Secondary outcomes were IKDC, Lachman test, Lysholm score and Tegner test. The meta-analysis of randomized trials indicated favorable results for double bundle reconstruction in terms of anterior and rotational laxity, while no differences in ROM were present.
