Figure 1.
Sagittal magnetic resonance imaging knee view showing the graft (neoligament) after an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Despite the presence of artifacts from previous fixation with metal interference screws, it is possible to visualize the anterior cruciate ligament graft.
Figure 2.
Figure 2.
Lateral radiographic knee view showing the anterior cruciate ligament tunnels and the metal screws used for graft fixation. The femoral tunnel was performed close to the anteromedial bundle position.
Figure 3.
Figure 3.
Lateral view of the right knee showing the extra-articular reconstruction of the anterolateral ligament. The graft is already fixed into the femur and is going in an anteroinferior direction until its tibial insertion between the Gerdy tubercle and the fibular head.
Figure 4.
Figure 4.
Lateral view of the right knee showing the final appearance of the anterolateral ligament reconstruction, which is already fixed into the femur and tibia, passing under the iliotibial band to respect its anatomic path.
