Mastering BTB graft in ACL reconstruction: bone-to-bone fixation, pain minimization & surgical tips

In this interview, Jorge Chahla and Loiy Alkhatib discuss why the Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone (BTB) graft remains a gold standard in ACL reconstruction. Jorge Chahla highlights the advantages of reliable bone-to-bone interference screw fixation, cost-efficiency, and lower re-tear rates compared to alternative grafts.

Key surgical tips covered include:
