초록
Portal positioning in arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is critical in facilitating the drilling of the femoral tunnel. However, the traditional approach has limitations. A modified inferior anteromedial portal was developed. Therefore, this study aims to compare the modified and conventional far anteromedial portals for femoral tunnel drilling, assessing factors such as tunnel length, inclination, iatrogenic chondral injury risk, and blowout.Patients scheduled for hamstring autograft-based anatomical single-bundle arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction were divided into two groups: modified and far anteromedial groups. Primary outcomes include differences in femoral tunnel length intraoperatively, tunnel inclination on anteroposterior radiographs, and exit location on lateral radiographs. Secondary outcomes encompass tunnel-related complications and reconstruction failures. To identify potential risk factors for shorter tunnel lengths and posterior exits, regression analysis was conducted. Tunnel parameters of 234 patients were analyzed. In the modified portal group, femoral tunnel length and inclination were significantly higher, with tunnels exhibiting a more anterior exit position ( p < 0.05). A higher body mass index exerted a negative influence on tunnel length and inclination. However, obese patients in the modified portal group had longer tunnels, increased inclination, and a lower risk of posterior exit. Only a few tunnel-related complications were observed in the far anteromedial group. The modified portal allowed better control of tunnel length and inclination, ensuring a nonposterior femoral tunnel exit, making it beneficial for obese patients.
