Editorial Commentary: Pursue the Anatomy of the Knee Anterior Cruciate Ligament Footprint

The paradigm of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction has shifted from nonanatomic/isometric to anatomic reconstruction so as to mimic the native anterior cruciate ligament anatomy, as well as its function. A triple-bundle reconstruction technique more precisely mimics the native anterior cruciate ligament. On the other hand, functional advantages of triple-bundle reconstruction have not been fully elucidated. Comparative clinical studies between reconstruction techniques are needed.
