To imitate the anatomy of the intact ACL, it is mandatory to place the tunnels exactly within the femoral origin and tibial insertion of the ACL.

Although the biomechanical results comparing a minimally invasive flip button procedure versus a conventional polydioxanone cerclage are similar, the authors recommend the flip button procedure because of its minimally invasive approach and the secure subcoracoidal fixation technique with a minimized risk of anterior loop dislocation and neurovascular damage.

We recommend to perform the Latarjet technique with an anterior capsule reconstruction (e.g. CAL transfer) and with a transfer of the coracoid bone block rather than a transposition of the coracoid tip. Furthermore, we were able to show that an intact subscapularis tendon is a necessary prerequisite for a reliable stabilization.
