Comparisons of the radiological and functional results of femoral tunnels created in Figure-4 and 110° flexion positions in arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using the Figure-4 method provides satisfactory and comparable results with the conventional method. The Figure-4 position allows for 130 to 140º flexion of the knee and tunneling closer to the anatomical ACL insertion owing to the ease of application without creating any operational difficulties.
