Sample Questions

Question 1
A 22-year-old male collegiate soccer player sustains a noncontact ACL rupture. You are planning ACL reconstruction and considering graft choice. Which graft has historically demonstrated HIGHER re-tear rates in young, high-demand athletes compared to other autograft options?
Bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) autograft
Hamstring autograft — multiple meta-analyses (e.g., MOON cohort, Samuelsen meta-analysis of 47,613 patients) demonstrate slightly higher re-tear rates for hamstring vs BTB autograft in young athletes <25, though clinical outcomes often equivalent
Quadriceps tendon autograft
Contralateral BTB autograft
Question 2
During anatomic single-bundle ACL reconstruction, where should the femoral tunnel be placed for optimal biomechanical restoration?
Over-the-top (12 o'clock transtibial position)
Anatomic footprint — at the center of the native ACL femoral footprint, typically via anteromedial portal or outside-in technique (anatomic placement ~2 o'clock right knee / 10 o'clock left knee, low and deep on lateral wall)
High on the lateral wall at 1 o'clock
At the roof of the notch
Question 3
A 17-year-old female soccer player with open physes sustains an ACL tear. She has 2 years of growth remaining. Which reconstruction technique minimizes physeal injury?
Standard adult-style transphyseal hamstring reconstruction
All-epiphyseal reconstruction or physeal-sparing techniques (e.g., Anderson, MicheliiT band technique) using soft-tissue graft, avoiding hardware or bone blocks crossing the physis
Transphyseal BTB graft with bone blocks at each physis
Delayed reconstruction until skeletal maturity is always preferred
Question 4
In high-risk adolescent ACL reconstruction patients (young age, pivoting sport, hyperlaxity), which adjunct procedure has evidence for reducing graft re-tear rates?
Lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) or modified Lemaire procedure — RCT evidence (e.g., STABILITY trial) shows LET reduces re-tear rates in high-risk patients
Medial meniscectomy
Posterior capsular plication
Fibular osteotomy
Question 5
What is a 'ramp lesion' in the context of ACL injury?
A longitudinal vertical tear of the medial meniscus at the meniscocapsular junction of the posterior horn — high association with ACL injury and often missed on standard arthroscopy without specific posteromedial portal or probing
A chondral defect of the lateral femoral condyle
A ligamentous injury of the PCL
A bone bruise on the posterior tibia
