The Effect of Different Sagittal Angles of the Tibial Guide on Aperture Widening of the Tibial Tunnel during Modified Transtibial Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A RandomizedIn VivoStudy

Abstract: PurposeThe effect of sagittal plane angle of the tibial tunnel on the severity of tibial intra-articular aperture expansion caused by iatrogenic re-reaming in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using a modified transtibial technique is unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare the severity of intra-articular aperture widening at different angles (40°, 45°, and 50°) of the tibial guide (TG).Materials and MethodsNinety-seven patients who underwent modified transtibial ACL reconstruction were… Show more

“…5 Several other factors may affect tibial TW, such as age, tunnel location, tunnel angle, or the posterior slope of the tibia. [24][25][26][27] The length of the tendon within the tibial tunnel, tunnel location, and tunnel angle have been considered to be related with one another. Therefore, further investigation in a larger cohort using multivariate regression analyses of such factors must be performed in the future to clarify independent factors that affect tibial TW.…”

“…As previously mentioned, several other factors, such as tunnel location, tunnel angle, or the posterior slope of the tibia, may affect tibial TW. 24,25,27 Therefore, further investigations in larger cohorts using multivariate regression analyses of such factors must be performed in the future. Third, CT images were only acquired at two time points (1 week and 1 year postoperatively).…”
