Abstract: Background: Graft-tunnel mismatch (GTM) is a common problem in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) using bone–patellar tendon–bone (BPTB) grafts. Hypothesis: Application of the “N+10 rule” in endoscopic ACLR with BPTB grafts will result in… read more here.

Abstract: Purpose: Most studies examining the safety and efficacy of transphyseal ACL reconstruction for skeletally immature patients have utilized transtibial drilling. Independent femoral tunnel drilling may impart a different pattern of distal femoral physeal involvement. The… read more here.
