Methods Twenty cadaveric specimens comprising bovine tibia and tendon harvested from sheep were used to simulate ACL reconstruction with a looped four-strand tendon graft. A proprietary tensioning device was used to tension the graft during tibial component fixation with graft tension recorded using load cells. The effects of the tensioning device at extreme angles and in various locking states was evaluated. Results Strand tension varied significantly when the tensioning device was held at extreme angles p or in locked configurations of the tensioning device p . Tendon position also produced significant effects p on the resultant strand tension. Conclusion An even distribution of tension among individual graft strands is obtained by maintaining the tensioning device in an unlocked state aligned with the longitudinal axis of the tibial tunnel. If the maintenance of equal strand tension during tibial fixation of grafts is important close attention must be paid to positioning of the tensioning device in order to optimize the resultant graft tension and by .
