Does additional reconstruction of the anterolateral ligament during a primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction affect tibial rotational laxity – A case series

Conclusion Our findings are based primarily in anaesthetized patients, with kinematic values at time-zero postoperatively. Patients presenting with significant rotational instability following a primary ACL injury and assessed to have a grade-3 pivot-shift may benefit from dual-ligament reconstruction. Further research is required to assess long-term patient-centered clinical outcomes.
