Abstract

Transtibial single bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has been the gold standard for several years. This technique often fails to restore native ACL femoral origin and tibial insertion anatomy of the ACL. Recently, there is a strong trend towards a more anatomical approach in single and double bundle ACL reconstruction. Using the anatomic double bundle structure of the ACL as a principle, the entirety of both tibial insertion and femoral origin of both bundles, the posterolateral and anteromedial, may be restored. Reflected by recent publications over the past two years, there is an increasing interest in the anatomy of the ACL. In the current study, a PubMed literature search was performed looking for measurements of the ACL femoral origin and tibial insertion. These studies show a large variability in the size and the anatomy of the femoral origin and tibial ACL insertion using different methods and specimens. The diversity of reported measurements makes clinical application of these data difficult at best. Thus, it is of paramount importance to understand the individual variations in size and shape of the ACL femoral origin and tibial ACL insertion. This study is a systematic review of the morphology of the ACL femoral origin and tibial insertion as reported in the literature.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
