Optimal Anterolateral Ligament Tibial Tunnel Orientation to Prevent ACL Tunnel Collision and Saphenous Nerve Injury
The optimal orientations of the ALL tibial tunnel to avoid collision with the ACL tibial tunnel and prevent saphenous nerve injury are 10° anterior to 30° distal and 20° anterior to 30° distal for far-cortex drilling techniques, starting from the midpoint between the Gerdy tubercle and the fibular head, 10 mm distal to the joint line.
