Abstract
The outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, be it single or double bundle, continue to be analyzed with exhaustion. There is strong evidence regarding the measurable effects of femoral tunnel position as well as the contributions that age, time to surgery, and concomitant pathology have on outcomes of this procedure. We are surgeons with big egos. We like to think that what we do in surgery is all that dictates the outcome. Maybe it is time to broaden the focus of our investigation.
