ACL two bundles reconstruction.
|
|||||||||||||
 |
The anterior cruciate ligament is made of two bundles: antero-median (in red) and postero-lateral (in green). Till recently, only the antero-medial one was reconstructed. The postero-lateral bundle is not always torn during injury. Now your surgeon may arthroscopically reconstruct it if necessary. |
