Intraarticular interposition arthroplasty by figure-of-eight semitendinosus allograft reconstruction. The tendon is passed through the four drill-holes with the use of the temporary sutures and tensioned in anatomic position (A). A double knot is then tied with the ends of the semitendinosus graft (B). Panel C demonstrates the final reconstruction. The dotted line in panel D outlines the figure-of-eight position of the tendon graft.
