A novel implant-free tibial pull-press-fixation for ACL reconstruction

摘要

Extracortical fixation techniques in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction bear the risk of tunnel enlargement, while close-to-aperture fixations often show lower failure loads. The purpose for this study was to investigate the biomechanical benefits of a novel implant-free combination of an extra-cortical and close-to-aperture fixation.
