Anteromedial Portal Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Tibialis Anterior Allograft.


ABSTRACT: In an effort to better restore normal joint function and kinematics, recent emphasis has been placed on surgical techniques that provide a more anatomic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). With femoral tunnel placement shown to play a vital role in the biomechanics, stability, and clinical outcomes after ACL reconstruction, approaches that better approximate the ACL's native femoral origin have been adopted. The independent anteromedial portal technique is thought to better position the femoral tunnel within the native ACL footprint and leave the graft more posteroinferior on the wall of the lateral femoral condyle than the more traditional transtibial approach. This article outlines the surgical technique for an anteromedial portal ACL reconstruction with a tibialis anterior allograft fixed with the Mitek Femoral and Tibial Intrafix sheath and screw system (DePuy Synthes, Raynham, MA).
