In the last decade, 3D computed tomography (CT) scan evaluation of tunnels has been the gold standard tool for research on anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The precise location of the anatomic footprints of the ACL has been validated in cadaveric and clinical studies using this technology. The techniques for assessment of the tunnel placement and parameters for tunnel orientation are also clearly defined now, which can help surgeons to reduce errors in tunnel placement during surgery. Further, accurate measurements of post-operative tunnel enlargement are also possible. Various software are now available which use 3D CT images to create more realistic digital images. This has revolutionized the assessment of tunnels and better planning in revision ACL surgery.

摘要

In the last decade, 3D computed tomography (CT) scan evaluation of tunnels has been the gold standard tool for research on anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The precise location of the anatomic footprints of the ACL has been validated in cadaveric and clinical studies using this technology. The techniques for assessment of the tunnel placement and parameters for tunnel orientation are also clearly defined now, which can help surgeons to reduce errors in tunnel placement during surgery. Further, accurate measurements of post-operative tunnel enlargement are also possible. Various software are now available which use 3D CT images to create more realistic digital images. This has revolutionized the assessment of tunnels and better planning in revision ACL surgery.
