Transtibial Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Author(s)
Yanke AB

Surgeons perform an estimated 150,000 anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions (ACLRs) each year in the United States.1 Most surgeons who perform ACLRs do so infrequently; American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery data suggest that about 90% of ACL surgical procedures are performed by surgeons who do fewer than 10 ACLRs annually.2 Multiple studies have listed technical aspects as the most common reason for ACLR failure.3-6 For this reason, it is important that surgeons focus on the technical aspects of the procedure to improve outcomes.
