The available data indicate that autograft for bone tunnel grafting in 2-stage ACL revision may be associated with a lower risk of revision ACL reconstruction graft failure compared with allograft bone. A patient with a left knee anterior cruciate ligament tear, torn lateral meniscus and retained hardware from a previous anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction presented for a left knee arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament repair, open removal of retained hardware and bone grafting of the distal femur and tibial tunnels.Following the arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament repair, a tibial incision was made through subcutaneous tissue to access the tibial tunnel in order to remove the deep hardware. American Journal of Sports Medicine. stream doi: 10.2106/JBJS.ST.20.00055.

To me it really is a separate issue especially since the debridement was performed first, not as a clean up after the hardware was removed. This content does not have an Arabic version. This will allow the desired placement of the new tunnels without the risk of loss of structural integrity. [26] reported the use of a sCO2-sterilized bone allograft to fill tunnel defects as the first stage of a two-stage revision ACLR. Her alignment, tibial slope and cartilage were all normal. Punch-biopsy specimens of the augmented tunnels were taken at the two-stage procedure, and histologic examination included quantitative analysis of the area of immature bone formation, lamellar bone, and bone marrow. The prior skin incision is typically used to expose the distal portion of the tibial tunnel. In additional analyses, 24% (12/49) of patients were newly found to have concomitant knee injuries (e.g., chondral defects, meniscal lesions) at the time of the second-stage operative procedure.
