Video Summary
This video discusses the trans-tibial ACL reconstruction technique, which, while traditional, risks a high femoral tunnel and vertical graft orientation, affecting rotatory stability. It offers excellent AP stability and simplifies graft passage. Despite its declining popularity compared to outside-in and anteromedial portal methods, it remains useful, notably with obese patients where other techniques face challenges. Key steps include anatomic tibial tunnel creation, ensuring a larger tibial than femoral tunnel for easier graft alignment. The technique involves strategic drill paths in the tibia and femur, ensuring secure graft fixation with precise cortical fixation.
