Abstract
The precise placement of the tibial and femoral osseous tunnels for an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction requires a knowledge of the three-dimensional anatomy of the ACL. The reconstruction must replicate the geometry of the normal ACL attachment sites on the tibia and femur in order to achieve reproducible results.
