ACL Reconstruction Model in Yucatan Mini-Pig Knee Joints

(A) During surgery, the ACL is transected at its tibial and femoral attachments and excised (denoted by arrow). (B) The tibial and femoral tunnels are drilled (arrows), and the required graft length is assessed. (C) The allograft is truncated to the appropriate length and prepared using a running lock suture at each terminus. (D) The allograft (arrow) is inserted into the drilled bone tunnels and tied using sutures to anchor it to cortical screws.
