Abstract
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) serves an important stabilizing and biomechanical
function for the knee. Reconstruction of the ACL remains one of the most commonly
performed procedures in the field of sports medicine. Reconstruction of the ACL with
bone-patella tendon-bone (BPTB) autograft secured with interference screw fixation
has been the historical reference standard and remains the benchmark against which
other methods are gauged. This article reviews the reconstruction of the ACL with
BPTB autograft including the surgical technique, rationale for BTPB use, and outcomes.
