Specialized Toolkit Series: ACL Reconstruction-All-Inside ACL Reconstruction

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Jocelyn Wittstein from Duke University discusses techniques for all-inside ACL reconstruction using either a quadrupled semitendinosus or quadriceps autograft, employing suspensory tibial and femoral fixation. Key points include graft length recommendations (preferably 65mm), specifics on graft preparation to avoid excessive suture between graft and tensionable loops, and detailed procedural steps for creating femoral and tibial sockets. Grafts are tensioned through femoral and tibial buttons, ensuring maximal stability. Detailed procedural descriptions and preparation techniques emphasize maintaining graft length and ensuring effective tensioning for optimal surgical outcomes.
