OBJECTIVE: To discuss the technique of anatomical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) with double beam, the learning curve and preliminary results. METHODS: Forty patients with ACL injury underwent reconstruction with anatomical double-bundle, using the semitendinosus tendon to remake the band anterior medial (AM) and gracile to remake the band posterior lateral (PL) of the knee. RESULTS: We had two cases of limitation of extension, and in one of them were necessary to perform arthroscopic artrolise, and one case of deep vein thrombosis. CONCLUSION: ACL reconstruction with double bundle proved feasible, despite having a higher learning curve, and the advantages of the proposed technique still must be proven compared to the single-beam technique.
