Rectus femoris tendon autograft provides predictable length and diameter, making it a promising option for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and combined procedures. In this technical note, we describe an arthroscopic technique for combined reconstruction of the ACL and medial\u2010sided structure\u2014the medial collateral ligament (MCL) and posterior oblique ligament\u2014in the setting of acute ACL,\u2009MCL\u2009and\u2009posterior oblique ligament rupture. A single rectus femoris autograft is used to reconstruct both ACL and MCL in a continuous fashion, whereas an allograft is used for posterior oblique ligament reconstruction. This technique offers an efficient graft construct for combined ACL and MCL reconstruction, minimizes the need for multiple autograft harvests, preserves the hamstring tendons, and reduces the risk of tunnel convergence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/atn2.70304","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,9]],"date-time":"2026-10-09T04:48:02Z","timestamp":1791521282000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Arthroscopic
