Characteristics of the femoral tunnel of anatomical and isometric single bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a modeling analysis based on quadrant method and anatomical landmarks
The anatomical and isometric positioning of the femoral tunnel can be achieved through anteromedial portal with satisfied tunnel characteristics. The apex of deep cartilage may be used as an anatomical reference for tunnel positioning. When drilled at appropriate orientation, favorable tunnel length, integrity and position of the outer opening can be obtained.
