Résumé
Anterior cruciate ligament graft diameter is of concern to every orthopaedic surgeon who's ever performed an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The current standard is to obtain a graft of at least 8 mm in diameter. The 5-bundle construct is an option to increase the graft diameter in the situation in which a smaller diameter 4-strand hamstring autograft is encountered. The question is whether bigger is better once one obtains an 8-mm diameter graft.
