Abstract

The article discusses a study to evaluate arthroscopic agreement on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tunnel positioning among different evaluating surgeons. Participants included twelve surgeons. The findings demonstrated that operating surgeons are more likely to judge their tunnels favorably than observers, and that surgeons do not currently uniformly agree on ideal single-bundle tunnel placement, with the transtibial (TT) technique yielding more poorly placed tunnels.

Abstract

The article discusses a study evaluating the inter-observer reliability of various radiographic measurements Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction tunnel placement. Interobserver reliability of the measurements was performed using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs); and Tunnels were filled with metal interference screws or a tibial reamer on cadaveric knees. Findings suggested that reliability of majority of ACL tunnel measurements was efficient under ideal circumstances.
