Abstract
The largest safe zone for femoral all-epiphyseal ACL drilling was (1) anterior to the lateral collateral ligament origin, (2) distal to the femoral physis, and (3) proximal to the popliteus tendon origin. A direct lateral tunnel may also be used, but has a smaller safe zone. Sockets or partial length tunnels may have a lower risk of injury to at-risk structures.
