The endoscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction offers advantages but presents technical challenges. Further advancements may establish it as the preferred surgical approach.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common in athletes.
  • Traditional two-incision techniques have limitations.
  • Endoscopic ACL reconstruction aims to improve outcomes with minimally invasive approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the advantages and technical challenges of the endoscopic technique for ACL reconstruction.
  • To compare interference fixation reproducibility with the two-incision technique.
  • To discuss the potential future preference for endoscopic ACL reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Review of the endoscopic technique for ACL reconstruction.
  • Comparison of femoral osseous tunnel trajectory and graft alignment.

  • Assessment of interference fixation and screw-graft divergence.

    • Main Results:

    • Endoscopic technique allows for a single incision and optimal graft alignment.
    • Interference fixation is technically more demanding compared to the two-incision method.
    • A tendency for screw and graft divergence in the femoral tunnel was observed, with unclear clinical significance.

    Conclusions:

    • The endoscopic ACL reconstruction technique presents a learning curve.
    • Potential for screw and graft divergence requires further investigation.
    • Advancements in instrumentation and fixation may lead to endoscopic techniques becoming the preferred method for ACL reconstruction.
