Özet

Optimal graft choice and fixation technique are still ongoing topics of debate for primary and revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Interference screws are frequently used as graft fixation devices but can sometimes lead to tunnel widening, cyst formation, chronic inflammation, screw breakage, and persistent pain. Tibial tunnel widening is of special concern because it is often associated with graft failure. This technical note introduces a graft technique with a periosteum–patellar tendon–bone autograft and a press-fit tibial fixation approach that could be a viable option for secure anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction while offering the possibility of a quicker postoperative recovery, less pain, and a quicker return to everyday activities.
