Abstract
Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction is a delicate task. An anisometric position of the graft often leads to failure. We propose an original method that allows to position the central part of the ligament graft at the least anisometric sites avoiding an impingement with the femoral notch’s roof. The system uses a workstation and a 3D optical localizer. This technique has been validated on 12 patients.
