Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using hamstring tendon graft without detachment of the tibial insertion.
We report results of the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using a four-strand hamstring graft without detachment of the tibial insertion of the tendons. ⋯ Detachment of hamstring tendons from their tibial insertion is unnecessary and our results with accelerated rehabilitation without protective braces are satisfactory and comparable to other studies.

Arthroscopic reconstruction of the acromioclavicular joint disruption: surgical technique and preliminary results.
Numerous operative procedures have been described for the reconstruction of acromioclavicular joint separation; however, the arthroscopic reconstruction has been rarely reported. Therefore, our objective was to propose a new technique of arthroscopic acromioclavicular joint surgery and to evaluate the preliminary results. ⋯ Considering its less morbidity, excellent cosmesis, no need of hardware removal, and minimal complications from breakage or migration of metal implants, this new technique offers an attractive alternative in acromioclavicular joint stabilization.
