Popis:	Radiographic enlargement of tibial and femoral tunnels has been observed after ACL reconstruction.We examined bone tunnel enlargement 10 months or more postoperatively.Thirty-seven patients were reconstructed using the Modified over the top method (MOT) and 26 patients received the Bone tunnel method (BT).In the MOT group, between the enlargement group (n=10) and no-enlargement group (n=27), there was no significant difference in clinical results (KT2000, ADT, JOA score), direction of bone tunnel, position of bone plug and isometricity.In the BT group, between the enlargement group (n=18) and no-enlargement group (n=8), there was significant difference in only the femoral position of bone plug.To prevent enlargement of the femoral tunnel, the bone tendon junction of BTB should be placed in the articular position of the femoral tunnel.
