    Double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction offers minor stability gains but doesn't improve patient outcomes or reduce graft failures. Single-bundle ACL reconstruction remains the preferred method due to its simplicity and effectiveness.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Sports medicine
    • Biomechanical analysis of knee joint

    Background:

    • Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common in athletes.
    • Surgical reconstruction is the standard treatment.
    • Double-bundle (DB) ACL reconstruction aims to replicate native ACL anatomy for improved stability.

    Discussion:

    • DB ACL reconstruction shows statistically significant improvements in anteroposterior knee stability and rotational control (pivot-shift test).
    • However, these stability improvements are not clinically significant for patients.
    • The pivot-shift test is a subjective measure of rotational stability.

    Key Insights:

    • DB ACL reconstruction does not lead to better clinical outcomes compared to single-bundle (SB) techniques.

  • Graft failure rates are not reduced with DB reconstruction.
  • DB procedures are more complex, costly, time-consuming, and difficult to revise.

    • Outlook:

    • Current evidence suggests SB ACL reconstruction is preferred over DB reconstruction.
    • Further research may explore refinements in DB techniques or alternative graft choices.
    • Focus remains on optimizing patient outcomes and minimizing surgical complexity.
