Suomalainen P et al. – Tunnel placement at the femoral side was already very low (anatomical) in patients operated in 2003. No significant difference was found when comparing to the patients operated in 2007. There were significantly more graft failures in the Group A, suggesting that the use of the DB method in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery in 2007 may have also improved the technique and results of the SB ACL reconstruction.
