Fig 6.

Arthroscopic visualization of a left knee joint in a setting of multiligament injury. A 30° arthroscope is positioned in the anterolateral portal and an arthroscopic shaver (Smith & Nephew) and an arthroscopic coagulator (Smith & Nephew) are positioned in the anteromedial portal. After evaluation of all the compartments of the knee, the anterior cruciate femoral tunnel is prepared first. The intercondylar area is evaluated and the medial wall of the lateral condyle is prepared. The lateral intercondylar ridge is used as a reference to find the correct insertion point of the anterior cruciate ligament femoral tunnel, which will be performed through a medial accessory portal. (LFC, lateral femoral condyle; PCL, posterior cruciate ligament.)
