Bone Quality-Independent Tibial Fixation Technique in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Optimal tibial fixation in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is critical. Both interference and suspensory graft fixation techniques exist, each with advantages and disadvantages. This Technical Note describes a tibial fixation technique using a screw, washer, and cap system that allows complete entrapment of a soft tissue graft inside the device, allowing for interference fixation without dependance on the quality of the patient's cancellous bone.
