Pearls and Pitfalls

Pearls	Pitfalls
•The graft should be tensioned in slight valgus and 30° of flexion •Passing sutures can be left in the fibular tunnel after drilling to facilitate graft passage •A Cobb elevate can be placed posterior to the fibular head while drilling to prevent common peroneal nerve injury	•The fibular head should be drilled centrally to avoid fracture •Tunnels should be cleared of soft tissue to allow smooth graft passage •Leaving the interference screw proud in the femur can cause irritation to the ITB

ITB, iliotibial band.
