Abstract
In this article, we present 2 previously unreported cases of anterior cruciate ligaments
(ACL) that had a wide deltoid (triangular)-shaped tibial insertion in the coronal
plane that caused impingement at the intercondylar notch, inferior parts of patellofemoral
sulcus, and the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). Ligamentoplasty was used in both
cases. Inferomedial and inferolateral parts of the ACL that caused impingement were
excised, and the normal width of the tibial insertion of the ACL was provided.
