Cross pin versus interference screw for femoral graft fixation in hamstring anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical outcomes
Arthroscopy | Oct 26, 2017
Hu B, et al. - This study was implemented to offer a comparison between a cross pin and interference screw in terms of efficacy for femoral graft fixation in primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Researchers also intended to provide an appropriate reference for orthopaedic surgeons. Findings demonstrated that in comparison with interference screw fixation, cross-pin transfixation resulted in attainment of statistically decreased instrumented side-to-side anterior-posterior laxity difference that appeared to be of limited clinical significance. For femoral graft fixation in hamstring ACLR, no clinically significant advantage of cross-pin devices over interference screw was highlighted.
