Background: The anterior cruciate ligament is an important, internal, stabilizer of the knee joint, restraining anterior translation of the knee.

Objective: Assessment of anatomic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction by using distally inserted doubled hamstrings tendons by clinical evaluation.

Method: This study was carried out on 30 patients with ACL deficient in the period from March 2014 to July 2017. Anatomic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using distally based doubled hamstrings tendons performed to all patients in this study.

Results: The results show a significant improvement in Lysholm knee score postoperatively, and all its subscore show a considerable increase.

Conclusion: The improvement of ACL reconstruction by using technique permits an anatomical ACL reconstruction with the advantage of the preservation of hamstrings tendon insertion.
