ACL Augmentation for One-Bundle Tears

One-bundle Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears continue to pose a dilemma for orthopaedic surgeons. Though relatively rare, one-bundle tears can be symptomatic and often evolve into complete tears. Early management of these injuries could prove invaluable to decreased injury related morbidity. Diagnosis of these injuries relies on clinical history, examination, imaging studies, and arthroscopic evaluation. The key to success lies in the confirmation of the diagnosis on the basis of functional symptoms.
