ACL surgery may need a new aiming point, small study suggests
NCT ID NCT06996145
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether the usual method of placing ACL reconstruction tunnels at the center of the natural ligament attachments actually keeps the new ligament taut (isometric) throughout knee motion. Thirty healthy volunteers had their knees scanned with a special 4D scanner while bending. The goal was to measure how the distance between the attachment points changes, to help design better surgical planning software.
