Assessment of anatomic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction by using distally inserted doubled hamstrings tendons by clinical evaluation.

The results show a significant improvement in Lysholm knee score postoperatively, and all its sub score show a considerable increase.
The improvement of ACL reconstruction by using technique permits an anatomical ACL reconstruction with the advantage of the preservation of hamstrings tendon insertion.
