High Variability of Lateral Extra-articular Tenodesis Femoral Tunnel Position With Landmark-Based Techniques
This study found large variation in the location of LET fixation points, and almost half of fixation points were outside the predefined radiographic zone. Accurate and precise tunnel placement is one of multiple factors that may be important to minimize the risk of lateral compartment overconstraint, anterior cruciate ligament graft failure, and anisometry leading to LET graft loosening.
