1 Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Femoral Tunnel Visualization for Button Fixation 
Savan D. Patel, M.D., Peter J. Boxley, B.A., Richard W. Kang, M.S., M.D.  Arthroscopy Techniques  Volume 6, Issue 3, Pages e585-e589 (June 2017) DOI: /j.eats Copyright © 2017 Arthroscopy Association of North America Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Left knee: patient supine with thigh in leg holder and knee flexed after lowering the leg portion of the operating table. View of graft passage: arthroscope, viewing from the anteromedial portal, is visualizing the button passing through the femoral tunnel.

3 Fig 2 Left knee: patient supine with thigh in leg holder and knee flexed after lowering the leg portion of the operating table. Arthroscope, viewing from the anteromedial portal, into the femoral tunnel with passing sutures. View also confirms that there is no cortical blowout (red arrow).

4 Fig 3 Left knee: patient supine with thigh in leg holder and knee flexed after lowering the leg portion of the operating table. Arthroscope, viewing from the anteromedial portal. Tightrope RT button (Arthrex), as indicated by the red arrow, is visualized traversing the femoral tunnel.

5 Fig 4 Left knee: patient supine with thigh in leg holder and knee flexed after lowering leg portion of the operating table. Arthroscope, viewing from the anteromedial portal. Tightrope RT button (Arthrex) has traversed the cortex and just “flipped” (red arrow). Tactile feedback also provides confirmation.

6 Fig 5 Left knee: patient supine with thigh in leg holder and knee flexed after lowering the leg portion of the operating table. Arthroscope, viewing from the anterolateral portal. Final graft position is demonstrated (red arrow). Arthroscopy Techniques 2017 6, e585-e589DOI: ( /j.eats ) Copyright © 2017 Arthroscopy Association of North America Terms and Conditions
