Tim Briggs demonstrates Bone-patella tendon-Bone where a graft is taken from the knee to replace the ACL. This operation has a fairly long history and is by most to be considered the gold standard. The Video is about 15 mins long, edited with voice-over from Tim.

Andrew Williams who used to be at RNOH demonstrates the Four Strand Hamstring technique for reconstructing the ACL. The hamstrings from one side of one leg are harvested and used as the replacements for the ruptured or deficient ACL. This operation is increasingly popular and most consider this on a par with Bone-PT-Bone. I think it would be fair to say that this technique is a little more difficult to perform. This section is 20mins long. Both sections include a brief section at the end on complications and rehabilitation
