3D-Printed Patient-Specific ACL Femoral Tunnel Guide from MRIDOI: 10.2174/1874325001812010059 Keywords: Anterior Cruciate Ligament, ACL, Anatomic, Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction, Printing, Three-dimensional, Arthroscopy Abstract: Traditional ACL reconstruction with non-anatomic techniques can demonstrate unsatisfactory long-term outcomes with regards instability and the degenerative knee changes observed with these results. Anatomic ACL reconstruction attempts to closely reproduce the patient's individual anatomic characteristics with the aim of restoring knee kinematics, in order to improve patient short and long-term outcomes. We designed an arthroscopic, patient-specific, ACL femoral tunnel guide to aid anatomical placement of the ACL graft within the femoral tunnel
