Single-bundle versus double-bundle arthroscopic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament: what does the available evidence suggest?

Abstract The introduction of the double-bundle technique as a surgical option for primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery stems from the hypothesis that replicating the double-bundle anatomy of the native ACL improves knee kinematics by supplying better rotational control. We performed a systematic review of the literature comparing double-bundle with standard single-bundle reconstruction methods. One RCT and three quasi-RCTs with a one-to two-year follow-up were included in this review. On the basis of these studies, ACL reconstruction with a double-bundle technique leads to less residual pivot-shift as assessed on manual and instrumented tests. Conflicting results exist as to whether the double-bundle technique leads to less side-to-side anterior tibial translation, and no significant differences were found regarding proprioception, flexorextensor peak torque and knee function as assessed with the International Knee Documentation Committee score. On the other hand, better subjective knee functionwas found in one quasi-RCT. However, there is a lack of correlation between these kinematic differences and an as yet unproven clinical effect. Uncertainties also exist regarding the mid- and long-term performances of the ACL reconstructed with a double-bundle technique. Comparison between the single-bundle and double-bundle techniques should be expanded to cover unresolved issues such as the rate of complications from a more challenging surgical technique, the risk of complicating revision surgery due to the presence of two tunnels, and the cost-effectiveness of a procedure with a higher consumption of fixation devices. The doublebundle technique should be further investigated by experienced knee surgeons in studies with higher methodological quality.     

Potential risk of cartilage damage in double bundle ACL reconstruction: impact of knee flexion angle and portal location on the femoral PL bundle tunnel

The aim of this study was to compare the impact of knee flexion angle and the level of the medial drilling portal on a potential damage to the subchondral bone in double bundle ACL reconstruction, drilling the femoral PL tunnel through an accessory medial portal. We hypothesized that a knee flexion angle of 70° and 90° or a high accessory medial portal will result in a potential damage to the subchondral bone of the lateral femoral condyle. In a sawbone knee model, the medial portal location was standardized as 0 mm above the meniscus (low portal) and 10 mm above the meniscus (high portal). Femoral PL bundle tunnels were drilled at three different knee flexion angels: 70°, 90°, and 110° of knee flexion. For each portal, ten specimens were used for every flexion angle. Drilling the PL tunnel through the high medial portal at a knee flexion angle of 70° resulted in damage of the subchondral bone plate in all specimens. At 110° of flexion the distance of the tunnel exit to the subchondral bone plate was significantly higher than at 70° of flexion for both the groups, drilling through the high and low medial portal (P < 0.05). Drilling through the low portal did not result in bone plate damage at 90 and 110° of knee flexion angle. Drilling of the femoral PL bundle tunnel through a high medial portal at low knee flexion angles may damage the subchondral bone of the lateral compartment. In ACL reconstruction restoring the AM and PL bundle separately, high medial portal drilling should be avoided. We recommend drilling of the femoral PL bundle tunnel through a low medial portal in high knee flexion.     

In Vivo Three-Dimensional Imaging Analysis of Femoral and Tibial Tunnel Locations in Single and Double Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstructions

Background

Anatomic footprint restoration of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is recommended during reconstruction surgery. The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the femoral and tibial tunnel positions of transtibial single bundle (SB) and transportal double bundle (DB) ACL reconstruction using three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT).

Methods

In this study, 26 patients who underwent transtibial SB ACL reconstruction and 27 patients with transportal DB ACL reconstruction using hamstring autograft. 3D-CTs were taken within 1 week after the operation. The obtained digital images were then imported into the commercial package Geomagic Studio v10.0. The femoral tunnel positions were evaluated using the quadrant method. The mean, standard deviation, standard error, minimum, maximum, and 95% confidence interval values were determined for each measurement.

Results

The femoral tunnel for the SB technique was located 35.07% ± 5.33% in depth and 16.62% ± 4.99% in height. The anteromedial (AM) and posterolateral (PL) tunnel of DB technique was located 30.48% ± 5.02% in depth, 17.12% ± 5.84% in height and 34.76% ± 5.87% in depth, 45.55% ± 6.88% in height, respectively. The tibial tunnel with the SB technique was located 45.43% ± 4.81% from the anterior margin and 47.62% ± 2.51% from the medial tibial articular margin. The AM and PL tunnel of the DB technique was located 33.76% ± 7.83% from the anterior margin, 45.56% ± 2.71% from the medial tibial articular margin and 53.19% ± 3.74% from the anterior margin, 46.00% ± 2.48% from the medial tibial articular margin, respectively. The tibial tunnel position with the transtibial SB technique was located between the AM and PL tunnel positions formed with the transportal DB technique.

Conclusions

Using the 3D-CT measuring method, the location of the tibia tunnel was between the AM and PL footprints, but the center of the femoral tunnel was at more shallow position from the AM bundle footprint when ACL reconstruction was performed by the transtibial SB technique.

Partial tears of anterior cruciate ligament: Results of single bundle augmentation

Background:

Partial tears of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) are common and usually present with symptomatic instability. The remnant fibers are usually removed and a traditional ACL reconstruction is done. But with increased understanding of ACL double bundle anatomy, the remnant tissue preservation along with a single bundle augmentation of the torn bundle is also suggested. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of selective anatomic augmentation of symptomatic partial ACL tears. Our hypothesis is that this selective augmentation of partial ACL tears could restore knee stability and function.

Materials and Methods:

Consecutive cases of 314 ACL reconstructions, 40 patients had intact ACL fibers in the location corresponding to the anteromedial (AM) or posterolateral (PL) bundle and were diagnosed as partial ACL tears perioperatively. All patients underwent selective augmentation of the torn bundle, while keeping the remaining fibers intact using autogenous hamstring graft. A total of 38 patients (28 males, 10 females) were available with a minimum of 3 years followup. 26 cases had AM bundle tears and 12 cases had PL bundle tears respectively. Patients were assessed with International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) 2000 Knee Evaluation Form, Lysholm score; instrumented knee testing was performed with the arthrometer (KT 2000). Statistical analysis was performed to compare the preoperative and postoperative objective evaluation.

Results:

At 3 years followup, 31.6% patients were graded A, 65.8% were graded B and 2.6% was graded C at IKDC objective evaluation. Manual laxity tests, Lysholm''s score, mean side to side instrumental laxity and Tegner activity score improved significantly. 76% patients returned to preinjury level of sports activity after augmentation.

Conclusion:

The results of anatomic single bundle augmentation in partial ACL tears are encouraging with excellent improvement in functional scores, side to side laxity and return to sports activity.     

Incidence,management and outcome assessment of post operative infection following single bundle and double bundle acl reconstruction

Introduction

Post-operative infection is a dreadful complication of ACL reconstruction with gray zone over management guidelines. We aimed to establish commonest etiology, assess incidence of infection and effect on outcome, individually for single and double bundle ACL reconstruction techniques, so as to formulate appropriate management guidelines.

Volume and Contact Surface Area Analysis of Bony Tunnels in Single and Double Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Autograft Tendons: In Vivo Three-Dimensional Imaging Analysis

Background

Regarding reconstruction surgery of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), there is still a debate whether to perform a single bundle (SB) or double bundle (DB) reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare the volume and surface area of femoral and tibial tunnels during transtibial SB versus transportal DB ACL reconstruction.

Methods

A consecutive series of 26 patients who underwent trantibial SB ACL reconstruction and 27 patients with transportal DB ACL reconstruction using hamstring autograft from January 2010 to October 2010 were included in this study. Three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) was taken within one week after operation. The CT bone images were segmented with use of Mimics software v14.0. The obtained digital images were then imported in the commercial package Geomagic Studio v10.0 and SketchUp Pro v8.0 for processing. The femoral and tibial tunnel lengths, diameters, volumes and surface areas were evaluated. A comparison between the two groups was performed using the independent-samples t-test. A p-value less than the significance value of 5% (p < 0.05) was considered statistically significant.

Results

Regarding femur tunnels, a significant difference was not found between the tunnel volume for SB technique (1,496.51 ± 396.72 mm³) and the total tunnel volume for DB technique (1,593.81 ± 469.42 mm³; p = 0.366). However, the total surface area for femoral tunnels was larger in DB technique (919.65 ± 201.79 mm²) compared to SB technique (810.02 ± 117.98 mm²; p = 0.004). For tibia tunnels, there was a significant difference between tunnel volume for the SB technique (2,070.43 ± 565.07 mm³) and the total tunnel volume for the DB technique (2,681.93 ± 668.09 mm³; p ≤ 0.001). The tibial tunnel surface area for the SB technique (958.84 ± 147.50 mm²) was smaller than the total tunnel surface area for the DB technique (1,493.31 ± 220.79 mm²; p ≤ 0.001).

Conclusions

Although the total femoral tunnel volume was similar between two techniques, the total surface area was larger in the DB technique. For the tibia, both total tunnel volume and the surface area were larger in DB technique.
