Editorial Commentary: Anteromedial Femoral Socket Drilling in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction … Love the Way You Are.

Abstract

The goal of the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is to avoid a permanent pivot shift. There are no significant differences in the clinical outcomes between performing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using anteromedial or transtibial technique in performing femoral socket. Although most previous studies have shown better results in avoiding pivot shift using the anteromedial technique, its clinical significance still needs to be determined and, in my opinion, the transtibial technique still remains the gold standard.
