Individualized Anatomic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a common injury particularly among young active individuals. ACL injury leads to increased knee laxity and abnormal knee biomechanics that may prevent return to sports and predispose to early onset degenerative changes in the joint. Therefore, optimizing ACL injury treatment is of great interest to the sports medicine field. Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is considered the treatment of choice for the majority of the patients, especially in those involved in cutting and pivoting activities, often allowing them to return sports.
