Dual fluoroscopic imaging and CT-based finite element modelling to estimate forces and stresses of grafts in anatomical single-bundle ACL reconstruction with different femoral tunnels

ConclusionThe proposed method is able to simulate knee joint motion based on in vivo kinematics. The results demonstrate that posterior to the centre of the femoral footprint is the strategic location for graft placement, and this placement results in anatomical graft behaviour with a low stress state.
