The article studies double-bundle (DB) anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) to determine whether it offers any advantages in the prevention of osteoarthritis (OA) or promotion of better stability and function after ACLR compared with the single-bundle (SB) technique. Background is presented on the lack of agreement on the advantages of DB ACLR over the SB technique. Results of the study showed the DB technique is not more effective than SB in preventing OA.
