Physical examination assesses for knee stability, while imaging techniques including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and radiographs detail ligament, cartilage, and meniscal injuries to identify all injured structures. Vascular evaluations are critical given the high risk of concomitant neurovascular injuries especially in dislocated knees, bicruciate injuries, and lateral-sided injuries.</p><p><strong>Avoiding tunnel convergence: </strong>Anatomic reconstruction of the torn ligaments has been biomechanically and clinically validated to improve knee stability and function. When performing multiple anatomic reconstructions, the risk of tunnel convergence is high. Therefore, surgical intervention aimed at optimizing outcomes necessitates careful planning to avoid tunnel convergence. This involves strategic tunnel placement, orientation, and techniques, such as adjusting tunnel angulation and using intraoperative imaging. These measures are vital for restoring knee functionality and minimizing future complications. Managing tunnel convergence is vital in treating MLKIs. Avoiding convergence on the medial side of the femur and tibia is more challenging due to the number of tunnels.

In double bundle posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, using an ALD, we can achieve differential tensioning of the anterolateral and posteromedial bundles utilizing two femoral and one tibial tunnel. When performing an anatomic posterolateral corner reconstruction using our modification of the anatomical LaPrade technique, an ALD permits differential tensioning of the fibular collateral ligament and popliteus tendon/popliteofibular ligaments with a single graft.
