ACL Reconstruction with Remnant Preservation

1️⃣  Advantages

  • Faster Healing: Accelerates graft revascularization and remodeling.
  • Improved Sensation: Preserves proprioceptive fibers
  • Better Healing Environment: Enhances the biological setting for recovery.
  • Stable Anchor Point: Maintains natural attachment at the tibia, supporting knee stability.
  • Reduced Tunnel Enlargement: Lowers the risk of tibial tunnel widening.

2️⃣ Disadvantages

  • Surgical Challenges: May complicate tibial tunnel placement and risk cyclops lesion formation.
  • Technical Demands: Requires high surgical expertise.

3️⃣ Clinical Evidence

  • Studies are varied and show promising but not definitive evidence for the superiority of remnant preservation in ACL reconstruction.
