Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Bone–Patellar Tendon–Bone Graft Through a Rectangular Bone Tunnel Made With a Rectangular Retro-dilator: An Operative Technique

Good clinical results have been reported with anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions in which rectangular bone–patellar tendon–bone (BTB) grafts were fixed into rectangular bone tunnels made at anatomic ACL insertion sites of the femur and tibia (anatomic rectangular tunnel BTB AC...

description Good clinical results have been reported with anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions in which rectangular bone–patellar tendon–bone (BTB) grafts were fixed into rectangular bone tunnels made at anatomic ACL insertion sites of the femur and tibia (anatomic rectangular tunnel BTB ACL reconstruction). Notwithstanding these good results, some problems have remained unsolved, including procedural complexity and risk of damage to the femoral posterior tunnel wall, damage to nerves and blood vessels, and damage to cartilage. The purpose of this report is to present our technique of ACL reconstruction with BTB graft through a rectangular bone tunnel made with a rectangular retro-dilator. Our procedure may become a safe option for anatomic rectangular tunnel BTB ACL reconstruction because of the following advantages: (1) bone tunnels can be created more safely and accurately than in methods using transtibial and far medial portals, (2) the bone tunnel preparation procedure is less invasive than the standard outside-in method, (3) technical failure–related risks are lower because the guidewire is inserted only once, and (4) the operation time is shorter because the method is a single-bundle procedure.
