Revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery is increasingly common. The double-bundle technique offers anatomic restoration for ACL revision, requiring careful preoperative planning for successful outcomes.

Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Sports Medicine
Biomechanics

Background:

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are prevalent in athletes.
ACL reconstruction is a frequent orthopedic procedure, leading to a rise in revision surgeries.
Identifying the cause of ACL graft failure is crucial for successful revision outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To outline an approach for revision ACL surgery.
To advocate for the double-bundle technique in revision ACL reconstruction.
To emphasize the importance of preoperative planning for complex cases.

Main Methods:

Review of current literature on ACL revision.
Description of the double-bundle technique for anatomic ACL reconstruction.

Preoperative assessment protocols for revision ACL surgery.

Main Results:

The double-bundle technique is proposed as optimal for anatomic restoration in most revision ACL cases.
Understanding multifactorial causes of failure is key to surgical planning.
Proper preoperative preparation is essential for this technically demanding procedure.

Conclusions:

Revision ACL surgery necessitates a thorough understanding of failure mechanisms.
The double-bundle technique facilitates anatomic ACL reconstruction in revision settings.
A systematic approach to preoperative planning enhances revision ACL surgery success.
