Single- versus double-bundle ACL reconstruction: is there any difference in stability and function at 3-year followup?
Clin Orthop Relat Res. 2012 Mar;470(3):824-34. doi: 10.1007/s11999-011-1940-960 patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) disruption were randomised into two groups to compare the functional outcomes of two surgical techniques. Patients underwent either semitendinosus (ST) single-bundle (SB) ACL reconstruction (ACLR) or ST double-bundle (DB) ACLR. Following assessments over a 36 month period, results indicated that there were no significant differences in functionality and stability between DB ACLR and SB ACLR techniques.
