Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) using bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft remains one of the most common autografts used, and there is significant evidence to support its title as the "gold standard." There are nuances and technical challenges associated with every step of an ACLR, which always leave room for improvement. The purpose of this Technical Note is to provide reproducible, technical pearls where errors are commonly encountered during ACLR. In this article, we detail 10 technical pearls that surgeons should consider to enhance operative workflow and optimize success during ACLR with a bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
