📌 Femoral Tunnel Posterior Wall Fracture
1️⃣ Impact of Tunnel Malposition
- Anterior malposition: Rotational laxity or graft impingement
- Posterior placement: Breach of posterior femoral cortex, lack of fixation
2️⃣ Consequences of Posterior Wall Violation
- Known as posterior wall blowout, Occurs distally at the tunnel's aperture Near the medial aspect of the lateral femoral condyle
- Devastating intraoperative complication in ACL reconstruction
- Leads to loss of graft fixation or early graft failure
