A Modified Anatomic Transtibial Double-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Provides Reliable Bone Tunnel Positioning.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the femoral and tibial tunnel positions via a modified anatomic transtibial double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.

Methods

Patients who underwent double-bundle ACL reconstruction using the transtibial tunnel creation technique were identified. Double-bundle ACL reconstruction was performed for 94 knees using the transtibial tunnel creation technique. Tunnel aperture configurations and center positions of the anteromedial (AM) and posterolateral (PL) tunnels via postoperative 3-dimensional computed tomography were evaluated.

Results

There were 94 knees included. Regarding the intra-articular tunnel aperture configurations, the AM and PL tunnels overlapped at the femoral and tibial aperture in 66.0% and 94.7% cases, respective
