Abstract:
Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are common in high school and college with an estimated 120,000 cases per year in the United States. Most sports injuries occur without direct contact, and knee valgus with external rotation of the foot is the most common movement. This movement may be related to the injury of the anterior oblique ligament located in the anteromedial quadrant of the knee. This technical note presents anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with extraarticular anteromedial reinforcement using hamstring and the anterior half of the peroneus longus grafts.
