Abstract
Persistent rotational instability after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is a relatively common postoperative complication, typically associated with graft verticalization due to improper femoral tunnel placement, especially with classic transtibial femoral tunnel techniques. This article describes a technique designed to reorient a verticalized anterior cruciate ligament graft at its femoral insertion to a more anatomic position in the coronal and sagittal planes, aiming to restore knee stability without the need for a complete revision operation. Additionally, a lateral extra-articular tenodesis with fascia lata is added to reinforce rotational stability.
