Abstract

»Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a commonly performed orthopaedic procedure with numerous reconstructive graft and fixation options. Interference screws have become one of the most commonly utilized methods of securing ACL grafts such as bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) autografts.»The composition of interference screws has undergone substantial evolution over the past several decades, and numerous advantages and disadvantages are associated with each design.»The composition, geometry, and insertional torque of interference screws have important implications for screw biomechanics and may ultimately influence the strength, stability of graft fixation, and biologic healing in ACL reconstruction.»This article reviews the development and biomechanical properties of interference screws while examining outcomes, complications, and gaps in knowledge that are associated with the use of femoral interference screws during BPTB ACL reconstruction.
