The less invasive dual-reconstruction technique is confirmed as a safe procedure for anatomic LCLC reconstruction. Primary stability is equal, yet not superior to conventional LUCL reconstruction. Hence, this biomechanical study does not confirm the hypothesis that more anatomic reconstruction techniques could reduce the risk of recurrent instability when compared to conventional LUCL reconstruction.
