Abstract

The aim for the study is to provide sufficient bone-graft contact in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, the shortest loop should be used. However, the more loop length decreases, the more difficult it is to flip the loop. Our aim was to investigate the possible cause of this problem.
