Fig 2 Intra-socket view, through the anteromedial portal in a right knee, of the reamer in the deployed position after reaming is completed. One can see the depth stop of the drill guide (caret), which preserves the lateral femoral cortex for cortical fixation devices.

Fig 4 Intra-articular view of right knee through anterolateral portal. The bone–patellar tendon (PT)–bone autograft is passed with a lead suture that was passed through the FiberLink suture-passing device. (LFC, lateral femoral condyle.)
