Abstract
With great interest, I have read the report by Dæhlin et al 1 titled “The Effect of Posterior Tibial Slope on the Risk of Revision Surgery After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.” The authors reported that no association between a steep posterior tibial slope and revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) was found. In the majority of the patients, the transtibial ACLR technique was used. In our own previously published study on this topic, 2 we found that an increased tibial slope had a solely significant impact on the failure risk after transportal ACLR, not after transtibial ACLR. Given the admirable number of patients in the present report, an isolated evaluation of the effect of an increased tibial slope on the revision risk after transportal ACLR would be of great interest.
