The previous studies have provided quantitative and radiographic data for other ligaments, which has aided surgeons in intraoperative tunnel placement and postoperative assessment of […]
Over the past decade, there has been an increasing emphasis on anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction to best restore knee kinematics after an ACL tear.
