## Abstract Contact between an anterior cruciate ligament graft and the intercondylar roof has been termed roof impingement. Grafts with impingement sustain permanent damage, and if the injury is extensive enough, then the graft may fail, causing recurrent instability. This study evaluated two mech

## Abstract The effect of the maximum unloaded graft length (L~o~) and femoral fixation hole location on graft force with the knee under anteriorly directed tibial loads was measured in five fresh cadaver knees with a reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The reconstruction was pe
## Abstract The anterior cruciate ligament has a complex fiber anatomy and is not considered to be a uniform structure. Current anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions succeed in stabilizing the knee, but they neither fully restore normal knee kinematics nor reproduce normal ligament, function.
## Abstract Because of the complications of impingement of anterior cruciate ligament grafts on the intercondylar roof and because current surgical procedures locate the tibial tunnel such that impingement is avoided during passive but not active extension, the objectives of this study were to dete
