Pearls and Pitfalls
| Pearls |
| Use arthroscopic electrocautery to prepare the tibial footprint |
| Have the fluoroscopy ready in case of problems |
| Perform a blind socket at the femur |
| Pitfalls |
| If the graft is too short, it might come out of the tibia while fixing at the femur |
| Do not pull the graft through the notch at first but use the posteromedial portal to avoid the killer turn |
