(A) Through the anteromedial portal, the middle of a No. 2 co-braid ultrahigh-molecular-weight nonabsorbable suture is introduced into the joint behind the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) remnant (asterisk) using a suture retriever. (B, C) A curved rotator cuff hook is used to penetrate the mid portion of the ACL remnant and retrieve the co-braid suture, forming a loop (arrow). The rotator cuff hook is passed through the loop, and 1 free end of the suture is retrieved. (D) The torn end of the ACL is sutured using the lasso-loop technique (arrow). (E) The free ends of the suture are retrieved through the anterolateral portal, permitting clear visualization of the medial wall of the lateral femoral condyle and of the tibial insertion of the ACL. (F) Lasso-loop configuration.
