ACL Reconstruction Insights - Single Bundle vs. Double Bundle

Two techniques in ACLR surgery: the Single Bundle (SB) and Double Bundle (DB) reconstruction. First, let's dive into the background of these techniques. Traditionally, we've been using the single bundle reconstruction, which has been the standard procedure. At one point, doctors started showing interest in the double bundle reconstruction. Why? Because the double bundle approach tries to mimic the two main components of our natural ACL, making it closer to our knee's original structure. Sounds advanced, right? But the real question is, is this double bundle technique genuinely better than the single bundle? Several studies have compared the two. And what did they find? Whether we're talking about functional scores, post-op stability, or even returning to sports, both techniques seem to perform similarly. Meaning, the double bundle doesn't necessarily offer better results. So, why even consider the double bundle? Especially when it comes with a higher cost compared to the single bundle. In conclusion, while the double bundle might sound cutting-edge, current research suggests it doesn't outperform the single bundle technique.
