Key Words Anteromedial drilling; Intramedullary femoral nail; Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction; Retained hardware
Core Tip The presence of retained hardware presents a challenge for surgeons treating patients with knee instability. In anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, intramedullary (IM) nails may confound tunnel placement, making removal of hardware necessary, unless techniques are adopted to allow for anatomic placement of the graft. We strongly recommend delaying the ACL graft harvest until creation of the femoral tunnel has been successful in these settings. Although unlikely when using anteromedial portal drilling, if the IM rod needs to be removed for anatomic graft placement but cannot be removed, the ACL reconstruction may have to be delayed until this issue is addressed.
