The center point of the femoral ACL footprint was significantly more shallow in the hill type knees when compared to the straight type. For clinical relevance, considering that the location of the femoral ACL footprint center is different depending on the Blumensaat's line morphology, to perform accurate ACL reconstruction, femoral ACL tunnel placement should be made based on Blumensaat's line morphological variations.
