Computer-assisted navigation helped novice surgeons achieve accuracy comparable to experienced surgeons in double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction tunnel placement on the tibial plateau. However, novice surgeons showed less precise femoral tunnel placement compared to experienced peers.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Anatomic double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction demands high precision in tunnel placement.
  • Improving accuracy in ACL tunnel placement is crucial for successful surgical outcomes.
  • Computer-assisted navigation (CAS) may offer a solution for enhancing surgical precision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate if CAS enables novice surgeons to achieve accuracy similar to experienced surgeons in double-bundle ACL reconstruction tunnel placement.
  • To compare tunnel placement accuracy between novice surgeons using CAS and experienced surgeons without CAS.

Main Methods:

  • Novice surgeons (medical students) performed double-bundle ACL reconstruction on 11 cadaver knees using CAS.
  • Experienced orthopaedic surgeons performed the same procedure on 9 cadaver knees without CAS.

  • Tunnel placement accuracy was assessed for both tibial and femoral components.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant difference in tibial tunnel (anteromedial [AM] and posterolateral [PL]) placement between novice (CAS) and experienced (no CAS) surgeons.
    • Novice surgeons using CAS placed both AM and PL femoral tunnels significantly more anteriorly on the lateral femoral condyle compared to experienced surgeons.

    Conclusions:

    • CAS may improve tibial tunnel accuracy for novice surgeons in double-bundle ACL reconstruction.
    • Femoral tunnel placement accuracy on the lateral femoral condyle remains a challenge for novice surgeons, even with CAS.
    • Further refinement of CAS techniques may be needed to optimize femoral tunnel placement in ACL reconstruction.
