Radiographics 2002;22:765-74. However, placing the tibial tunnel at 65 degrees does not guarantee that the ACL graft is placed without PCL impingement. A prospective randomized study of patellar versus hamstring tendon autografts for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Associated findings of focal arthrofibrosis in the anterior knee joint space and tibial tunnel cysts were encountered in few patients who were not dealt with in this study. Another cause for graft impingement is roof impingement which may occur due to anteriorly positioned tibial tunnel and usually in patients without notchplasty, a surgical procedure where parts of the lateral wall and roof of the intercondylar notch are … Impingement syndrome occurs where the relationships between two articular components are incongruous, with resulting friction, inflammation, and degeneration [2]. Anterior cruciate ligament graft tear. The lateral edge of the tibial tunnel should pass through the tip of the lateral spine, not through the tip of the medial spine. The surgical error in the right radiograph is that the notch was not widened with a wallplasty, and the tibial tunnel and femoral tunnel were placed too medial, such that the femoral tunnel was at the apex of the notch. 1 Department of Radiology, Burjeel Medical Centre, Muscat, Sultanate of Oman2 Department of Medicine, Burjeel Medical Centre, Muscat, Sultanate of Oman, Correspondence Address:Dr. Sushmita Keerthi ChilkuriDepartment of Radiology, Burjeel Medical Centre, Aziba North, Muscat Sultanate of OmanCheckDOI: 10.4103/wajr.wajr_37_17 function RightsLinkPopUp () { var url = "https://s100.copyright.com/AppDispatchServlet"; var location = url + "?publisherName=" + encodeURI ('Medknow') + "&publication=" + encodeURI ('WAJR') + "&title=" + encodeURI ('Location of femoral/tibial tunnels in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and their impact on graft integrity: Magnetic resonance imaging review') + "&publicationDate=" + encodeURI ('Jul 1 2018 12:00AM') + "&author=" + encodeURI ('Chilkuri SK, Mathews AS') + "&contentID=" + encodeURI ('WestAfrJRadiol_2018_25_2_106_236946') + "&orderBeanReset=true" Nineteen patients with roof impingement of an anterior cruciate ligament graft had their grafts inspected during second-look arthroscopy. 18-2 The bone–patella–bone graft failed from roof impingement (left radiograph). The tibial tunnel was moved more posterior in the revision with a hamstring anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft (right radiograph). Drilling the tibial tunnel at 70 and 80 degrees placed the ACL graft near the apex of the notch and the PCL, and the tension increase in the ACL graft with knee flexion was subsequently abolished by incremental excision of 2 to 6 mm of the lateral edge of the PCL. A graft that is low in signal intensity is free from roof impingement. 18-3). The cause of roof impingement is positioning the tibial tunnel too anterior in the sagittal plane. inadequate graft fixation or hardware failure. BACKGROUND: Although an anatomically placed graft in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is reported to have a low risk of roof impingement, which may cause deterioration of the graft or an extension deficit, the incidence of roof impingement by these grafts has not been evaluated in hyperextensible knees. Am J Sports Med 2003;31:12-8. A total of 30 male patients, age ranged from 20 to 43 years who presented with knee pain/instability 1 year postreconstruction of ACL, were recruited for the study.Results: Of 30 cases, 10 (33.33%) patients had an intact graft on MRI. However, placing the tibial tunnel at 65 degrees does not guarantee that the ACL graft is placed without PCL impingement. Wiener DF, Siliski JM. 16 As one would anticipate, more roof bone must be removed to avoid roof graft contact if the tibial tunnel is placed anterior to the anatomic center of the anterior cruciate ligament.

Arthroscopic findings associated with roof impingement of an anterior cruciate ligament graft. graft less then 8mm in width 96128_CH_14 6/28/07 7:51 AM Page 171 Eur Radiol 2003;13:1106-17. Purpose: To measure the cross-sectional area (CSA) of hamstring anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) grafts in humans up to 2 years postoperatively and to estimate the appropriate graft-notch distance (the distance between ACL graft and roof or wall of the notch) at surgery. Location of femoral/tibial tunnels in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and their impact on graft integrity: Magnetic resonance imaging review Correct placement of the tibial tunnel in the coronal and sagittal planes, and subsequent drilling of the femoral tunnel through the tibial tunnel, avoids PCL and roof impingement, replicates the tension pattern of the intact ACL, and determines the motion and stability of the knee. The extent of roofplasty required to prevent graft impingement has been shown to be dependent of the anteroposterior placement of tibial tunnel. The advantage of the transtibial technique is that when the notch is widened and the tibial tunnel is placed correctly in the coronal and sagittal plane, the correct placement of the femoral tunnel is automatic. This simple and accurate technique relies on widening the notch by performing a wallplasty and using a tibial guide that controls the angle of the tibial tunnel in the coronal plane and registers the intercondylar roof with the knee in extension in the sagittal plane. Papakonstantinou O, Chung CB, Chanchairujira K, Resnick DL. MR signal of the ACL graft varies based on the composition and age of the graft. Although an anatomically placed graft in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is reported to have a low risk of roof impingement, which may cause deterioration of the graft or an extension deficit, the incidence of roof impingement by these grafts has not been evaluated in hyperextensible knees. An anteroposterior (AP) radiograph is diagnostic of PCL impingement when the tibial tunnel is at an angle greater than 70 degrees with respect to the medial joint line or when the lateral edge of the tibial tunnel is medial to the apex of the lateral tibial spine2 (Fig. MR imaging of complications of anterior cruciate ligament graft reconstruction. MRI can also show a nonlinear (i.e., bowed) orientation of the graft between the tibial and femoral tunnels. Clin Orthop Relat Res 1992;(283):187-95. Recht MP, Kramer J. MR imaging of the postoperative knee: A pictorial essay. PCL impingement occurs when the ACL graft wraps around the PCL as the knee is flexed. Am J Sports Med 2005;33:1327-36. Keywords: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, graft failure, tibial and femoral tunnel locations. This chapter discusses the definition, complications, diagnosis, and prevention of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and roof impingement, which must be avoided to restore motion and stability in an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructed knee. Impingement of the ACL graft against the intercondylar roof causes either a loss of extension or a stretching out of the graft from abrasion, resulting in anterior instability. Graft impingement was seen in 15 cases (50%), graft tear in 3 (10%), and graft stretching with abnormal high T2 signal in the remaining 2 cases (6.67%) [Table 1]. Roof impingement occurs when an ACL graft prematurely contacts the intercondylar roof before the knee reaches terminal extension . Semin Musculoskelet Radiol 2002;6:19-33. The surgical error in the left radiograph was that the tibial tunnel was placed too vertical at 85 degrees, which placed the femoral tunnel at the apex of the notch. If the tibial tunnel is positioned too far laterally, sidewall impingement can occur on the graft by the medial aspect of the lateral condyle [ 14 ]. The cause of roof impingement is malplacement of the ACL graft in the sagittal plane. MR imaging evaluation of the postoperative knee: Ligaments, menisci, and articular cartilage. Egypt J Radiol Nucl Med 2011;42:193-200. The tibial tunnel should have been placed at 65 degrees with respect to the medial joint line of the tibia.

Jansson KA, Linko E, Sandelin J, Harilainen A. The feasibility of the transtibial technique to replicate the tension pattern of the intact ACL was determined by a cadaveric study that analyzed the effect of varying the angle of the tibial tunnel (and femoral tunnel) in the coronal plane on the tension pattern of the ACL graft (, Anatomical Retroscrew Anterior Cruciate Ligament Fixation: Single- and Double-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction with Retroscrew Biointerference in a Single Femoral Socket, Stryker Biosteon Cross-Pin Femoral Fixation for Soft-Tissue Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, Anatomical Double-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Procedure Using the Semitendinosus and Gracilis Tendons, High-Stiffness, Slippage-Resistant Cortical Fixation Has Many Advantages over Intratunnel Fixation, Hamstring Harvest Technique for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, The Retrodrill Technique for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, The Anteromedial Portal for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction, Tensioning Anterior Cruciate Ligament Grafts.
