Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are unfortunate but common injuries in the athletic population. The standard of care for ACL tears is a surgical intervention to reconstruct the ACL to restore knee functionality as well as quality of life. In recent years, bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) has seen increasing use in various orthopaedic settings. This increase can be attributed to the potential beneficial qualities that mesenchymal stem cells, progenitor cells, and growth factors, all of which are present in BMAC, can provide. In this technical note and accompanying video, we describe an anatomic allograft ACL reconstruction infused with BMAC to utilize BMAC's potential benefits.
