Femoral tunnel widening is similar between anteromedial portal and transtibial techniques following single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: a systematic review and meta-analysis

摘要

In anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, there is concern regarding the potential risk of femoral tunnel widening in the anteromedial portal (AMP) technique due to the acute graft-bending angle at the aperture and the more elliptical aperture shape of the femoral tunnel compared to the transtibial (TT) techniques. Therefore, the aim of the current systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the femoral tunnel widening between the AMP and TT techniques in patients who underwent ACL reconstruction.
