Anterior position of ACL reconstruction tunnels

Discussion:

Graft position in ACL reconstruction is crucial to mimic the biomechanics of the original ACL.

Far anterior position of tibial tunnel causes roof impingement of ACL leading to restricted extension and premature degeneration of graft with tear.

Far posterior tibial tunnel causes knee instability.

Far anterior femoral tunnel leads to elongation of graft again leading to instability.
