How to Avoid Tunnel Convergence of Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Lateral Collateral Ligament/Posterolateral Corner Sockets in Multiligament Knee Reconstructions.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Tunnel convergence in multiligament knee surgery remains a technical challenge. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) femoral sockets/tunnels and lateral collateral ligament (LCL) femoral sockets/tunnels during anatomic posterolateral corner (PLC) reconstructions are particularly vulnerable to convergence. This is secondary to the limited amount of bony real estate available on the lateral distal femur. Previous studies have attempted to define a specific angle to direct the LCL tunnel away from the ACL tunnel. However, inconsistency with ACL femoral socket creation and variability in bony architecture can make this strategy unreliable. This surgical technique describes how to minimize the risk of ACL and LCL tunnel convergence during ACL and PLC reconstructions.
