Synopsis
39 patients undergoing anatomic double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction were randomized to two different femoral tunnel drilling techniques; the transportal technique or the outside-in technique. The results of the study have indicated that the outside-in technique results in more acute femoral graft bending angles and longer mean anteromedial femoral tunnel lengths, but it has yet...
