Core Tip	There is no convincing evidence that anatomic reconstruction leads to better clinical outcomes than transtibial (TT) reconstruction. Moreover, data suggests that it could lead to an increased risk of graft re-rupture. We found that anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction by TT technique led to lower incidence of graft re-rupture than contralateral ACL lesion. The chance of graft re-rupture after anteromedial (AM) technique was the same of contralateral ACL lesion. There was no difference between contralateral lesion after both techniques and re-rupture after AM technique, what could mean that re-rupture chance after AM technique is indeed closer to normal knee, and, in fact, it is the TT technique’s re-tear incidence that is lower than it should be.
