摘要：
Tibial tunnel placement during endoscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has received increased emphasis in the recent literature, Appropriate tunnel length is a critical technical consideration. A tunnel that is too short results in graft extrusion, necessitating supplemental fixation techniques, A tunnel that is too long may make distal fixation and femoral tunnel placement difficult. A simple rule is proposed that allows for correct tunnel length and allows placement of the bone plug consistently within the tibial tunnel, allowing interference screw fixation.
