Core Tip	Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is a highly complex surgery with multiple approaches. Decisions regarding the most optimal approach should be made with a comprehensive knowledge of the risks and benefits of each, in conjugation with patient factors, taking an individualized approach to each case. Future comparative research studies and large-scale interventional studies are needed to determine the optimal techniques for femoral tunnel preparation and graft fixation in ACLR.
