Description: Drs. Sebastian Kopf, Volker Musahl, Scott Tashman, Michal Szczodry, Wei Shen and Freddie H. Fu wrote the lead article in Knee Surgery Sports Traumatology Arthroscopy
in the March 2009 Issue, “A Systematic Review of the Femoral Origin and Tibial Insertion Morphology of the ACL". The Editorial by Drs. Siebold and Zantop “Anatomic double-bundle ACL reconstruction: a call for indications” was devoted to the paper by Dr. Kopf and said that the study significantly contributes to strategies in anatomical ACL reconstruction. This study is a systematic review of the morphology of the ACL femoral origin and tibial insertion. The included studies of this review show a large variability in the size and the anatomy of the femoral origin and tibial ACL insertion using different methods and specimens. Anatomical landmarks are important, because of patient to patient anatomical variability and are necessary whenever possible during ACL reconstruction.
