A Modified Technique for All-Inside Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR): True Femoral Socket.

ABSTRACT: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) performed via arthroscopy is the primary treatment for anterior cruciate ligament injury. In traditional ACLR, the surgeon must create bone tunnels in both the femur and tibia, which increases the risk of bleeding and pain. The advent of all-inside technology has introduced the concept of bone sockets. However, the femoral socket created by the traditional all-inside technique is not a true femoral socket since the tunnel ends are still connected to achieve suspensory fixation. We are dedicated to achieving a true femoral socket in the all-inside ACLR technique. The AperFix Implant fixation system offers the potential for a genuine femoral socket by securely holding the ligaments in place through compression fixation. In this report, we pres
