- Tibial Tunnel:
- tibial tunnel is created prior to femoral tunnel;
- a more medial to lateral tunnel placement, will cause the a more medial to lateral femoral tunnel;
- the femoral tunnel must be oriented in a somewhat lateral direction, in order to have the guide wire to exit distal to the tourniquet;
- Guide Wire Insertion:
- after the guide wire is driven across the femur, the knee must not be moved, otherwise the guide wire may bend and impede drilling;
