Radiographic evaluation of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction graft involves:

  • femoral component:
    • a line is drawn along the posterior cortex of the femur
    • a second line is drawn along the roof of the intercondylar intercondylar notch of the femur (Blumensaat line)
    • the point of intersection of these two lines should be at the inferior portion of the femoral component of the graft
  • tibial component:
    • the tibial component should be parallel to and entirely posterior to the line drawn along the roof of the intercondylar notch
