The main objective of this study is to compare, using MRI measures with a specialized splint, the persistent rotatory laxity after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using single bundle and double bundle surgical techniques, between the seventh and eighth months after surgery, and for different degrees of knee flexion (0 °, 20 °, 40 °, 60 °).

Residual rotational laxity during MRI
Residual rotational laxity is defined as the difference between the operated knee and the non-operated knee for "D", where D is the distance between the posterior tibial cortex and the center of the circle which forms the lateral femoral condyle. D will be evaluated at 4 angles of flexion (0°, 20°, 40° and 60°) and evaluated as a repeated measure.
