- Abstract
Use of an autogenous bone plug for the tibial tunnel in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has been advocated to achieve tendon-to-bone healing. Our hypothesis was that use of an autogenous bone plug, instead of a bioabsorbable interference screw, for secondary fixation of tendon allograft to the proximal part of the tibia would reduce the complication rate and tibial tunnel widening.
