Editorial Commentary: All-Inside Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Produces Excellent Results: Adjustable Cortical Suspensory Fixation Provides Rigid Tibial Fixation for All Ages.

All-inside anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is the most minimally invasive ACL reconstruction technique available. Systematic review and meta-analysis show equally excellent outcomes for all-inside ACL reconstruction as compared with full tibial tunnel ACL reconstruction. Advantages of the all-inside technique may include improved tibial side fixation, improved stability, less tunnel widening, improved cosmesis, and less postoperative pain. Interference screw fixation using a full tibial tunnel technique can be complicated by inferior proximal tibial bone density. All-inside ACL reconstruction preserves the integrity of the tibial cortex and lends itself to cortical suspension fixation. Given modern adjustable suspensory cortical fixation and excellent clinical outcomes, surgeons should consider all-inside ACL reconstruction as a primary ACL reconstruction technique.
