Abstract An increasing concern has been given to the rotation stability of the knee in the setting of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. This growing interest stems from a better understanding of the rotational stability of the knee afforded by the identification of the anterolateral ligament. Previously, a residual abnormal pivot‐shift test had been found after an anatomic single‐band reconstruction of the ACL because of a lack of rotational stability, which may lead to the development of osteoarthritis. Residual instability affects function, especially in high‐demand athletes who perform many flexion‐rotation movements during sporting activity. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred method of intra‐articular ACL reconstruction using a hamstring tendon autograft in combination with an extra‐articular iliotibial band tenodesis for reinforcement of rotational stability.
