: Patient factors (notably high tibial slope and narrow femoral intercondylar notch width) and surgical factors (including meniscus treatment and anterior cruciate ligament [ACL] tunnel position) contribute to ACL reconstruction failure. The number one cause of failure is a misplaced ACL femoral tunnel. Tunnel malposition leads to a higher incidence of postoperative meniscal lesions, inferior clinical outcomes, and higher revision rates.

Abstract
: Patient factors (notably high tibial slope and narrow femoral intercondylar notch width) and surgical factors (including meniscus treatment and anterior cruciate ligament [ACL] tunnel position) contribute to ACL reconstruction failure. The number one cause of failure is a misplaced ACL femoral tunnel. Tunnel malposition leads to a higher incidence of postoperative meniscal lesions, inferior clinical outcomes, and higher revision rates.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
