Implant-free press-fit tibial fixation technique has gained popularity recently due to the problems in bone tunnel expansion, defect, and revision surgery due to the tibial fixation material preferred in anterior cruciate ligament surgery. Patellar tendon-tibial bone autograft offers several advantages in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. We describe a tibial tunnel preparation method and the use of patellar tendon-bone graft in the implant-free tibial press-fit technique. We call this the Kocabey press-fit technique.
