  • Title: Arthroscopically assisted reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament using a patella tendon bone autograft.
    Author: Jackson DW, Jennings LD.
    Journal: Clin Sports Med; 1988 Oct; 7(4):785-800. PubMed ID: 3180262.
    Abstract:
    Techniques for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery have evolved from the traditional open procedures to arthroscopically assisted procedures. The rationale for arthroscopically assisted ACL reconstruction includes small incisions, no disruption of the extensor mechanism, shorter hospitalizations, reduced postoperative pain, and faster rehabilitation. A stepwise approach for ACL reconstructions is presented.
