title: A low-profile method of hybrid tibial fixation for soft tissue grafts in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
abstract: This article introduces a low-profile technique for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using an interference screw and knotless anchor. Biomechanically, this technique has a significantly greater load to failure than interference screw fixation alone.
