Abstract
Anatomic positioning of the graft in anatomic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is the key to improved knee stability, restoration of normal knee kinematics, and the prevention of long-term joint degeneration. We have developed a technique for adjusting inaccurate drill guide placement to the center of the tibial footprint in anatomic single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. This technique can solve the inaccurate drill guide placement problems that may be encountered during this surgical procedure.
