Key Points

  • This analysis aims to clarify the anatomical details of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and their impact on reconstruction methods.
  • Introduced the flat ribbon concept regarding ACL anatomy.
  • Discussed variations in tunnel placement techniques during ACL reconstruction.
  • Provided a new perspective on ACL anatomy beneficial for improving surgical outcomes.
  • Highlighted ongoing debates surrounding optimal tunnel placement strategies in ACL reconstruction.

Abstract

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is commonly performed and has been for many years. Despite this, the technical details related to ACL anatomy, such as tunnel placement, are still a topic for debate. In this paper, we introduce the flat ribbon concept of the anatomy of the ACL, and its relevance to clinical practice. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2016;98-B:1020-6.
