If the harvested graft is unexpectedly found to be short, the adjustable loop may offer a further advantage to the surgeon over the fixed loop. In this situation, if the fixed loop is deployed, there may be a sub-optimal amount of graft in the tibial tunnel. Thus, there is less graft for the interference screw to engage against for fixation on the tibial side. In these circumstances, the ability for the surgeon to lengthen the loop, and pull some extra graft into the tibia will allow for better fixation of the graft on the tibial side.
