High incidence of partially anatomic tunnel placement in primary single-bundle ACL reconstruction
ConclusionThe present study demonstrates that there is a high incidence of partially anatomic placed tunnels in failed SB ACL reconstruction. Tunnel width was not associated with tunnel position. Clinically, partially anatomic bone tunnels frequently require a staged procedure with bone grafting and subsequent ACL revision surgery. Thus, surgeons should carefully analyse tunnel position and width preoperatively to properly plan ACL revision surgery.
