A modified technique for tibial interference screw fixation of hamstring anterior cruciate ligament grafts.
This article describes a modified technique for tibial fixation of quadrupled hamstring grafts in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Using this technique common problems with tibial interference screw fixation of hamstring grafts-such as loss of tension of the graft during screw introduction or twisting of the graft in the tunnel around the screw-are avoided.
