Preparation of the tunnels. (A) After excision of the ACL, the tibial bone tunnel was created using anatomical insertions of the ACL. (B) Particular attention was given to the femoral bone tunnel in order to achieve isometric placement of the graft. (C) Correct posterior placement of the femoral bone tunnel was ensured using intraoperative X-ray. (D) 2.0-mm bone tunnels were drilled. Please note the small size of the rabbit knee compared to the size of the surgeon's fingers.
