Abstract:
Modern arthroscopic knee-reconstruction techniques involve the use of multiple bone tunnels and fixation devices to restore the anatomy and stability of the knee after traumatic injury. In these injuries, however, tunnel collision can be problematic, especially when combining anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with meniscal root repairs or multiligament reconstructions. We describe a multiple tibial tunnel technique to allow fixation of both anterior cruciate ligament graft and meniscal roots through convergence to a single tibial cortical aperture.
