Computer aided ACL reconstruction.
The following article gives a clinical description of computer aided ACL reconstruction using the Praxim Medivision tool. The special feature of this navigation is the existence of the possibility to virtually graft the implantation without first having to attach anchoring channels, which allows potential risks to be recognized and thus avoided. This description meets with the current operating techniques of the 4-fold semitendinosus technique, and of extra-cortical anchoring with the endobutton/suture disc technique.
