Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the percentage of native femoral anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) footprint covered by the 2 most clinically relevant bone plug/graft orientations used with interference screw fixation in ACL reconstruction.

Methods: Five matched pairs of cadaver knees were used.
