Abstract
A 59-year-old female individual with bilateral unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in situ suffered post-traumatic left anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. She was managed with an arthroscopic ACL reconstruction with an autologous hamstring graft. The outside-in technique was used with a suspensory method of fixation. Currently, the patient has completed 2 years of follow-up with an improvement of the functional scores to the preinjury levels. Given the paramount importance of the integrity of ACL to a well-functioning UKA, the present case shows a suitable treatment option for patients with ACL injury post-UKA and highlights the surgical technique.
