Abstract

Femoral tunnel intersection in combined anterior cruciate ligament and posterolateral corner reconstruction has been reported to be high. The purpose of this study was to examine the risk of intersection between an anatomic femoral anterior cruciate ligament tunnel created with a retrograde reaming device and femoral lateral collateral ligament reconstruction tunnels of varying trajectory in a synthetic femur model.
