MRI signal intensity of anterior cruciate ligament graft after transtibial versus anteromedial portal technique (TRANSIG): A randomised controlled clinical trial

•Two drilling techniques for ACL reconstruction: transtibial and anteromedial portal.•Signal intensity measures on MRI are independent predictors of graft properties.•No difference in signal intensity was detected between drilling techniques.•Follow-up studies are needed to measure graft intensity differences in the long term.
