摘要
While attempting femoral fixation during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using Bio-TransFix (Arthrex, Naples, FL), we experienced failure of complete insertion of a hamstring graft into the femoral tunnel. A passing wire was twisted in the femoral tunnel during insertion of the ACL graft. The cause and methods of prevention of this complication are discussed.
