Sumario:All-inside anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction passed through a series of modifications over the past 2 decades, maintaining 2 common factors: half tunnels in both the femur and tibia and introduction of the graft into the knee through an arthroscopic portal. One of the disadvantages noted with this technique is the excessive cost of the instrumentation needed to perform it and its economic impact on the health care system. We describe a modification of the original technique, both maintaining the cortical bone in an intact state and avoiding the retrograde drill aiming device.
