Abstract
An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is one of the most common orthopaedic injuries. Optimal results are not always achieved after surgical reconstruction after a surgical technical error, namely, tunnel malposition. Understanding of the anatomy is vital, and several anatomic landmarks can be used to aid in an optimal reconstruction technique. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe our preferred technique for an arthroscopic single-bundle anteromedial ACL reconstruction, using a bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft fixed with interference screws.
