Sumario:There are limited studies in the literature regarding the reconstruction of bilateral anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in a single-stage setting. However, there have been no published studies describing simultaneous revision reconstructions of previously reconstructed bilateral ACLs. We present the case of a 37-year-old male who underwent previous reconstruction of both ACLs at an outside hospital and presented to our outpatient clinic with instability and pain. Simultaneous bilateral ACL revision reconstruction was performed with the use of tibialis anterior allografts. This case report suggests that single-stage bilateral ACL revision reconstruction is a safe procedure that can provide good results for the patient.
