• Primary ACL reconstruction with auto or allograft • Mark suture tape to identify from graft passage sutures
• Use cannula to avoid soft-tissue bridge		 • Overtensioning the internal brace
• Adult and adolescent patients • Cycle, tension, and fix the graft then cycle and tension the internal brace at the isometric point
• Keep internal brace anterior to graft to have better visualization to view tension
