ACL Reconstruction: Femoral tunnel placement more posterior with AMP technique .
Femoral tunnel position on conventional magnetic resonance imaging after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in young men: transtibial technique versus anteromedial portal technique
Arthroscopy. 2013 May;29(5):882-90. doi: 10.1016/j.arthro.2013.01.025. Epub 2013 Mar 2664 young men with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury were randomized to undergo reconstruction with either the transtibial (TT) or anteromedial portal (AMP) technique for femoral tunnel placement. The purpose of the study was twofold: First, to determine the tunnel placement and clinical outcome associated with each procedure, and second, if there was a significant difference in outcome between them. Results after a minimum of 2-year follow-up indicated a more posterior placement of the femoral tunnel aperture and greater stability in knees reconstructed with the AMP technique.
