We aimed to systematically review the literature from the past decade and determine the incidence and risk factors for DT in the adult spinal deformity (ASD) population to improve both the surgical strategy and counseling of patients undergoing ASD correction.
Methods: A systematic review from 2013 to 2023 utilizing PRISMA guidelines was performed.
Aims And Objectives: To investigate whether interference screw fixation through an anteromedial portal into an outside-in drilled femoral tunnel via a flip cutter results in acceptable hardware position.
Materials & Methods: 10 cadaveric knees underwent ACL-reconstruction with patellar BTB autograft. Femoral tunnel drilling was performed utilizing an outside-in flip cutter drill and interference screws for femoral fixation.
