Superior reproducibility and femoral tunnel angulation with hybrid transtibial vs. anteromedial portal techniques in ACL reconstruction: a retrospective case-control study
The HTT technique exhibits superior repeatability in femoral tunnel drilling compared to the AM technique, facilitating more consistent achievement of the optimal graft bone tunnel position. Moreover, the graft bending angle observed with the AM technique is more pronounced than with HTT, which likely increases the forces exerted on the graft at the shallow edge of the tunnel aperture.
