Bilateral ACL reconstruction with patellar tendon autograft. The tendon graft was inserted into the TW (titanium-web) (a) and the TW /tendon complex was placed into the tibial tunnel. The proximal side of the graft was sutured to the stump of the native ACL using a 4–0 nylon yarn (b). {TW: titanium-web, F: femur, Ti: tibia, P: patella, ACL: the stump of the native ACL (arrow), Te: the grafted tendon}
