- Abstract
The single-incision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction evidently has its shortcomings. In an attempt to improve the biomechanical but also the biological state of the knees after an ACL-reconstruction, double, even triple-bundle reconstructions have been popularised recently. As a positive side effect, details concerning ACL-insertion anatomy were brought back into the focus. In our opinion it would be more straight forward and logical to replace the non-anatomical single-incision technique with a more anatomic single-bundle ACL-reconstruction technique.
