Intraoperative Manual Resistance and Direct Intra-articular Visualization Maneuvers for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Key Points

• Evaluate the effectiveness of intraoperative manual resistance and visualization for ACL reconstruction techniques.
• Retrospective cohort design examining ACL reconstruction cases.
• Evaluation of manual resistance and visualization maneuvers during surgery.
• Analysis of deployment rates of suspensory button devices.
• Low rates of improper deployment of devices observed.
• Minimal malpositioning reported with the techniques used.
• Reduction in need for fluoroscopic imaging during procedures.
