Abstract :

Background: Double-bundle and single-bundle ACL reconstruction popularity is increasing with the aim to reproduce native ACL anatomy and improve ACL reconstruction outcome. Aim: The aim of this study was to prospectively compare the clinical results of single- and double-bundle ACL reconstruction. Methods: Twenty-two patients with a chronic unilateral ACL rupture who underwent arthroscopically assisted ACL reconstruction using a hamstring graft received a single- (SB) (n=10) or double-bundle (DB) (n=12) reconstruction. Results: Both groups were comparable with regard to preoperative data. All the patients reached a follow-up of one year. No differences between the 2 groups were observed in terms of Lysholm knee score and IKDC subjective score. Conclusion: In the one-year minimum follow-up, DB and SB ACL reconstructions showed comparable final objective IKDC scores and Lysholm score with time.
