title: Arthroscopic placement of the interference screw for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
abstract: This article describes a simple technique to check arthroscopically the position of the interference screw in bone patellar tendon bone reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament. With this simple and inexpensive method we can be sure that the bone plug in the tunnel has a rigid fixation and that the screw does not damage that graft.
