Femoral fixation was performed by means of 2 EndoButton CL devices (Smith &amp; Nephew Endoscopy, Andover, MA), and tibial fixation was done with 2 bioresorbable interference screws. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in all patients at a mean of 12.3 months postoperatively. Tunnel enlargement was determined by digitally measuring the widths perpendicular to the long axis of the anteromedial (AM) and posterolateral (PL) tunnels on an oblique coronal and axial plane. The MRI measurements were compared with the intraoperative drill diameter.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The mean tibial AM bone tunnel diameter increased from 0.74 to 1.06 cm, and the mean PL diameter increased from 0.60 to 0.89 cm. The mean femoral AM bone tunnel diameter increased from 0.71 to 0.97 cm, and the mean PL diameter increased from 0.58 to 0.85 cm.

In 41% of patients separate tibial bone tunnel measurements were impossible because of tunnel communication caused by intraoperative bone tunnel drilling, screw contact, or postoperative bone tunnel enlargement.
