Gross Measurement of Intraarticular Graft Length in All-Inside Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Intra articular length (IAL) of the graft has not been measured yet in anatomic, single bundle, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Especially in the all-inside ACL reconstruction technique, the IAL of the graft is of great importance due to the philosophy of the technique and the risk...

description Intra articular length (IAL) of the graft has not been measured yet in anatomic, single bundle, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Especially in the all-inside ACL reconstruction technique, the IAL of the graft is of great importance due to the philosophy of the technique and the risk of graft “bottoming out”. We present a simple arthroscopic measurement of the IAL of the ACL graft in anatomic, single bundle ACL reconstruction, that will allow optimal application of the all-inside technique.
