Abstract:
Good to excellent results at long-term follow-up have been published for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with bone-tendon-bone graft. Despite improvements in fixation devices, concerns regarding the stability of graft fixation on the tibial side remain. We present supplementary tibial fixation for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with bone-tendon-bone graft using a transosseous technique that is simple and inexpensive and avoids the risk of symptomatic hardware.
