Robotic Assistance for Tunnel Positioning in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Robotic Assistance for Tunnel Positioning in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Accurate ideal graft tunnel positioning is essential for the successful application of anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The accurate insertion of the tibial tunnel (TT) and femoral tunnel (FT) remain a challenge.

A robotic assisted new strategy for drill TT and FT in ACL reconstruction will be performed and its efficacy and accuracy will be assess.

The investigators will prospectively include 30 patients with ACL rupture requiring surgical treatment. The reconstruction will be performed with hamstring tendon graft or patellar tendon graft. The femoral and tibial tunnels placement will be guided by the Rosa robot (Zimmer®).

Inclusion Criteria:

• All patients treated at CHU Amiens-Picardie for ACL reconstruction by practitioner who has robot experience.
• children and adults from 10 to 45 years old

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients managed by another ACL reconstruction technique
• Patients under guardianship, curators deprived of liberty
• Pregnant and nursing women.
• Patient who refused to participate in the study and to sign informed consent
