Intraoperative axial patellar imaging: a new technique

Conclusions: Our technique established more precise guide-pin placement for the patellar tunnel. It also reduced time spent evaluating patellar fixation via additional orthogonal imaging. This could be associated with better outcomes and avoidance of common complications such as patellar fracture attributed to violation of the anterior cortex. Level of Evidence: Level V.
