Femoral fixation of graft. To perform femoral fixation of the Achilles allograft, a resorbable interference screw (I) is used, which is inserted over a nitinol guidewire (II). This wire was introduced before tendon passage to facilitate the fixation procedure. Pre-tensioning of the graft is achieved by manual traction (III). Traction is applied to the graft with the knee at 20° of flexion. Then, a screw of the same diameter as the tunnel is inserted.
