Currently available clinical studies and case reports have demonstrated ACWO to improve knee stability and outcomes for patients with an increased posterior tibial slope undergoing primary or revision ACL reconstruction with low complication rates. The ACWO provides an adjunct surgical option to decrease graft failure while improving knee stability and post-surgical outcomes for patients with an increased posterior tibial slope undergoing primary or revision ACL reconstruction. Further investigations are warranted to validate currently reported outcomes following ACWO in higher-level clinical studies with longer-term follow-up.
