Combined Anterior and Anterolateral Stabilization of the Knee With the Hamstring Tendons

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction allows good control of sagittal laxity but insufficient rotary laxity control. Our objective is to describe an original lateral extra-articular tenodesis using gracilis in addition to an intra-articular reconstruction using the semitendinosus in a short 4-strand graft. The principles are as follows: The femoral tunnel for intra-articular and extra-articular reconstruction is unique, the femoral attachment is posterior and proximal to the lateral epicondyle, the graft is under the lateral collateral ligament, and the tibial insertion is isometric from 0° to 60° between the Gerdy tubercle and the fibular head
