Popis: To evaluate the effect of using intraoperative fluoroscopy on femoral and tibial tunnel positioning variability in single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. A total of 80 consecutive patients with single-bundle ACL reconstruction between 2014 and 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Among them, 40 underwent ACL reconstruction without fluoroscopy (non-fluoroscopy group) and 40 underwent fluoroscopy-assisted ACL reconstruction (fluoroscopy group). Femoral and tibial tunnel locations were evaluated using a standardized grid system with three-dimensional computed tomography images. Femoral and tibial tunnel location variability was compared between the groups. The operation time was longer in the fluoroscopy group than in the non-fluoroscopy group (61.3 ± 5.2 min vs. 55.5 ± 4.5 min, p
