Actual (reported)The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term results of various anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction techniques. This assessment is necessary for the current context of anterior cruciate ligament research as several techniques and grafts are used in clinical practice, however, the various studies existing in the literature focus mainly only on the direct comparison of two techniques and usually with short-to-medium term follow-up. Since gonarthrosis is one of the most debated consequences of cruciate ligament reconstruction, a comparison of different long-term procedures would be desirable to have a clearer picture of the risks and benefits associated with different types of intervention.

Non-anatomical ACL reconstruction, the hamstrings' tibial insertion is preserved; a double-bundle hamstring graft is passed intra-articularly, fixed in over the top position on the lateral femoral condyle, and then passed extra-articularly deeply to ileo-tibial band up to the tibia, where it is fixed at the level of Gerdy's tubercle.
