“…In this study, anatomic tunnel placement was individualized for each knee and was guided by the footprint of ACL remnants [22]. This results in graft obliquity comparable to that of the native ACL and correlates to improved tibiofemoral joint kinematics [25,32,43]. The center of the tibial socket was created about 5 mm anteriorly and medially to the center of the native footprint.…”

“…This was done to place the graft in the center of the anatomic tibial footprint of the native ACL by creating the tibial tunnel more anteriorly and medially ( Figure 2A). 35,36 The placement of the graft in the femoral tunnel was with the cortical side of the tibial bone plug close to the over-the-top position ( Figure 2B). 13 Fixation of the graft was performed with the same bioabsorbable interference screws on both the femur and the tibia.…”

“…In this study, we could find no correlation between tunnel expansions in the coronal and sagittal planes or between Rolimeter values and functional scores (Lysholm, IKDC, Tegner). Tunnel expansion constitutes a problem in revision cases because of difficulties in finding new tunnels (27). Therefore, decreasing tunnel expansion would be helpful.…”

Background/aim: This study aimed to compare radiological and functional outcomes of patients who had single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with autologous hamstring tendon grafts using transtibial (TT) versus anteromedial (AM) femoral tunnel drilling techniques. Materials and methods: Sixty patients who had been operated on between 2010 and 2013 were enrolled in this study. Tunnel positions and widenings in the femur and tibia were evaluated with radiographs, arthrometric measurements with a Rolimeter arthrometer (Aircast, Summit, NJ, USA), stability assessment with Lachman and reverse pivot shift tests, and functional assessment with the International Knee Documentation Committee and Tegner and Lysholm scoring systems. Results: Tunnel enlargement in the sagittal and coronal planes of the femur was higher with the TT technique (P < 0.0001) and that of the coronal planes of the tibia was also higher with the TT technique (P = 0.01). During the assessment with the Rolimeter, the difference between sides was significant with the TT technique (P = 0.013). Positive results of the Lachman and reverse pivot shift tests were more frequent with the TT technique (P < 0.05), and the Lysholm scores were higher with the AM technique (P = 0.001). Conclusion: ACL reconstruction with hamstring autografts by either TT or AM technique demonstrated similar and excellent results in terms of functional outcomes at the end of the first postoperative year. The TT group had increased tunnel enlargement, which may have uncertain long-term outcomes, compared with the AM group.
