Study finds single- and double-bundle techniques equally effective for ACL reconstruction surgery | Orthopedics

Study finds single- and double-bundle techniques equally effective for ACL reconstruction surgery | Orthopedics

In our cohort of retrospectively reviewed patients in Dubai, we have noted similar findings, a non significant difference in favor of single bundle technique.  We did find as Timo Jarvela's group from Finland, that the revision rate with the double bundle technique was less.  Great study, would like to see more papers in this regard.
