Abstract
Appreciation of persistent anterolateral rotatory instability and graft failure after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction procedures has led surgeons to adopt the addition of lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) in both the revision and primary setting. Multiple techniques have been shown to eliminate anterolateral rotatory instability and reduce forces on the ACL graft, which has translated to lower re-rupture rates and improved patient outcomes. The risk of ACL/LET tunnel convergence can potentially compromise the fixation of one or both graft reconstructions. This article describes a technique for LET fixation which minimizes the depth of the LET femoral bone socket and utilizes low-profile implants thus mitigating this risk.
