Independent drilling outperforms conventional transtibial drilling in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
BACKGROUND Optimal tunnel placement is critical in anterior cruciate ligament reconstructive surgery, yet the method used to drill the tunnels may compromise their placement. HYPOTHESIS An independent drilling method versus a conventional transtibial drilling method will place tunnels in different locations and produce reconstructions with different kinematics. STUDY DESIGN Controlled labor...

متن کاملFemoral and tibial tunnel positioning on graft isometry in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a cadaveric study.
PURPOSE To assess distance changes between the femoral and tibial attachment points of 3 different anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tunnel entry positions throughout the range of knee motion in cadaveric knees. METHODS The ACLs of 11 fresh-frozen cadaveric knees (from 6 men and 5 women) were removed using radiofrequency. Three tibial tunnel placements were made using a cannulated awl, and thr...
متن کاملFemoral tunnel in revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
The failure rate after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction performed by expert surgeons is estimated to be in the range of 10-15%, and only 60% of patients undergoing this surgery are able to resume sporting activities comparable to those they engaged in prior to the traumatic incident. Incorrect femoral tunnel placement is one of the main causes of failed ACL reconstruction and thi...

Research Assistant, Biomedical Engineering Graduate Group. The goal of this study was to develop a new implantable transducer for measuring anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft tension postoperatively in patients who have undergone ACL reconstructive surgery. A unique approach was taken of integrating J. Wolcllok the transducer into a femoral fixation device. To devise a practical in vivo cal...
