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.
