New clinical evidence support as much as possible horizontal anterior cruciate ligament graft orientation performing a reconstruction of torn anterior cruciate ligament. This is very close with our data and outcomes.
“Functional postoperative knee mechanics are sensitive to graft tunnel locations and graft angle. Of the factors studied, the sagittal angle of the ACL was particularly influential on knee mechanics.”
“More vertical graft in the sagittal plane was significantly related (P < .05) to a greater laxity compliance index (R2 = 0.40) and greater anterior tibial translation and internal tibial rotation during active knee extension (R2 = 0.22 and 0.23, respectively).”
