ACL anatomy
• Two distinct fiber bundles
• Anteromedial (AM)
• Translational stability
• Posterolateral (PL)
• Rotational stability

Current Reconstruction Methods
• Single bundle
• Restore only the AM bundle
• Susceptible to reinjuries by pivoting
• Double bundle
• Restores both AM and PL bundles
• More anatomically correct

Devices to Evaluate ACL Reconstruction
• Current devices only measure translational stability of the knee
• Double bundle technique creates need for device to measure rotational stability
• Evaluate effectiveness of PL bundle reconstruction
