ABSTRACT
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are increasingly common in the adolescent age group. Recent literature has endorsed combining ACL reconstruction with lateral extra-articular procedures to minimize residual rotatory knee instability and reduce the risk of reinjury in this age group. This technique describes a single-bundle combined anatomical ACL reconstruction and lateral extra-articular reinforcement performed with a single iliotibial band autograft. Also this technique allows for the ACL reconstruction and lateral extra-articular stabilization to be performed through a single surgical incision while obtaining autograft tissue without disruption of the extensor or hamstring mechanisms.
