.2013....
One hundred and fifty patients undergoing reconstructive surgery for an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury were randomized to a procedure with either a full tibial bone tunnel or an all-inside tibial socket. The purpose of the study was to compare the clinical and functional outcome of these techniques, along with their effect on tunnel widening.
