Abstract

The article discusses a study focusing on the placement of femoral tunnel in posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction, which compares the ability of outside-in (OI) and inside-out (IO) femoral tunnel drilling. It briefly describes comparison of PCL femoral footprint in OI and IO drilling by using preoperative and postoperative computed tomography (CT) scans. Findings of study revealed no difference between OI and IO techniques for use in femoral tunnel placement.
