Abstract

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with cortical fixation adjustable-loop devices are associated with high potential risk of button malpositioning or interposition of the soft tissue between lateral femoral cortex and the button. Surgeons usually use X-rays to check and avoid button malposition and soft tissue interposition. Arthroscopic visualization of button position through the lateral gutter has been described. With this technique, it is possible for identification and correction of femoral button malalignment in the setting of soft tissue interposition and it could avoid the use of post-operative X-ray.
