Abstract
The incidence of revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is increasing. Anticipated convergence of malpositioned tunnels, significant graft tunnel widening, and bone loss are all indications for performing a 2-staged revision reconstruction. The goal of this Technical Note is to describe a simple bone-grafting technique for placing allograft bone matrix into femoral and tibial bone tunnels during the first stage of a 2-stage revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
