The optimal drill orientations of the ALL femoral tunnel to minimize collision with the ACL femoral tunnel were axial 0° and coronal - 40° for surgical techniques not requiring far-cortex drilling and axial 40° and coronal 10° for techniques requiring far-cortex drilling. For techniques requiring far-cortex drilling, additional adjustment for orientation of the ACL femoral tunnel is required to reduce the risk of tunnel collision. Therefore, an individualized surgical strategy should be applied according to the graft fixation method of the ALL femoral tunnel.
