    Abstract

    Because both the young and aging population are showing increasing interest in sports participation, the number of sports related injuries and in particular anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries have been increasing. Because of these injuries much time and energy has been focused on ACL reconstruction in order to return these individuals to their optimal level of participation in their sport. This article explores and reviews the concepts of ACL fixation location and how this affects the ultimate outcome of this reconstructive procedure.
