Abstract:
The surgical technique of Endobutton (Acufex Microsurgical, Inc, Mansfield, MA) button fixation for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is described. This technique avoids the potential pitfalls of interference screw fixation, avoids a second incision, and is adaptable to a variety of graft materials (autograft or allograft bone-patellar tendon-bond and hamstring).
