Resumen

Recent improvements in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction have been notable for strategies to improve ACL healing and to improve graft placements. The controversial choice of 1-bundle or 2-bundle grafts requires an advanced knowledge of native ACL insertional anatomy and an appreciation for the kinematic effects of graft placements. Understanding the limitations of surgical techniques to place tunnels is important. Once grafts are placed, new biologic strategies to promote intra-articular and intraosseous healing are evolving. Although these biologic engineering strategies are currently experimental, they are projected for clinical application in the near future.
