A surgical trick for adjusting an inaccurate guide pin to the center of the tibial footprint in anatomic single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Anatomic positioning of the graft in anatomic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is the key to improved knee stability, restoration of normal knee kinematics, and the prevention of long-term joint degeneration. We have developed a technique for adjusting inaccurate drill guide placement to the center of the tibial footprint in anatomic single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. This technique can solve the inaccurate drill guide placement problems that may be encountered during this surgical procedure.
