Dr. LaPrade found that the ACL attachment center was 7.5 millimeters medial to the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus, 13 millimeters anterior to the retro-eminence ridge and 10.5 millimeters posterior to the ACL ridge. He also found measurements for several other attachments, including the tibial posterior ligament bundle attachment center (6.6 millimeters medial to the posteromedial aspect of the lateral meniscus anterior horn and 8.4 millimeter anterior to the retro-eminence ridge).
