Abstract
Revision of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) presents many challenges that are not encountered in the primary setting and, therefore, requires thorough preoperative planning. Recently, there has been growing evidence showing that combining the anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction with ACL-R revision reduces the risk of postoperative ACL rupture and meniscal tears, and therefore, the ALL reconstruction becomes essential to a complex ACL revision. The technique that we describe is mainly used in the setting of complex ACL revision with extensive tunnel osteolysis associated with rotational instability of the knee. This article presents a technique for a one-stage complex ACL-R revision combined with ALL reconstruction using an Achilles tendon allograft with a bone plug.
